Bitcoin price remained under pressure on Monday as investors adjusted to the rising oil prices, ETF outflows, and the upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate decision. The BTC/USD pair was trading at 77,230, a few points below last month’s high of 82,000.

Bitcoin Price Pressured as Risks Rise

There are signs that risks are rising, which is seen by the performance of Bitcoin ETFs. Data shows that these funds had outflows in the last four consecutive days. They shed over $13.2 million on Friday after losing $282 million on Thursday. In total, these funds shed over $462 million last week.

One of the risks is that oil prices have continued rising this month, with Brent and the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) moving above $100 a barrel. The two benchmarks have jumped by double digits from the lowest level in August this year.

Oil prices will continue rising now that Saudi Arabia has closed the East-West pipeline that has been moving over 7 million barrels per day. Higher oil prices will lead to a steady inflation in the US. The most recent data showed that the headline and core inflation remained above the Fed’s target of 2.0%.
