ETF Flows (BTC/ETH)
The ETF flow data provided covers BTC and ETH instruments. On a recent 1D basis, BTC ETF flows are negative (−$348.9M), with 5D at −$235.0M and 10D at +$160.5M.

- Watch 1h close below 8.72 for acceleration toward 8.37–8.55.
- Observe overall market breadth and BTC strength as context, given high BTC trend strength (0.74) but very low vol regime.
- Track any shifts in EMA/SMA relationships (EMA12 vs EMA26; SMA50 vs SMA200) that would confirm a technical bias change.
