ETF Flows (BTC/ETH)

Contextual note: ETF flow data shown below pertains only to BTC and ETH and should be interpreted as market sentiment inputs for risk-on/risk-off considerations, not as primary signals for LINK trading decisions.

• BTC ETF: 1D -$142.0M | 5D +$351.1M | 10D +$74.7M
• ETH ETF: 1D -$63.5M | 5D +$10.9M | 10D -$49.3M

What to Watch Next

• Monitor for a break above 9.20 to confirm upside continuation toward 9.37–9.56 (intraday).
• Watch for a break below 8.82 to validate a near-term downside path to 8.65–8.48.
• Keep an eye on BTC/ETH ETF flow momentum as a broader risk-on/off signal; current data suggests mixed sentiment with BTC strength and ETF inflows not aligning clearly with LINK signals.
• Consider the very low volatility regime when sizing positions; a break with high volume would be a stronger confirmation of a trend shift.
