ETF Flows (BTC/ETH)

The ETF flow data provided covers BTC and ETH. For BTC, the 1D flow shows -$17.6M, with a substantial positive 5D flow of +$927.3M and 10D flow of +$1.19B. ETH shows -$14.0M on 1D with +$206.2M (5D) and +$319.4M (10D). These figures reflect capital repositioning across BTC and ETH ETFs and should be interpreted as contextual risk-on/off signals rather than primary drivers for BTC price.

  • Monitor for a break below 74,150 which would open downside targets toward 72,656–71,173.
  • Track ETF flow momentum in BTC/ETH as a supplementary signal to risk appetite, noting that ETF data is contextual rather than a primary BTC signal.
  • Maintain attention on intraday volatility; a shift from Very Low regime could precede a more meaningful directional move.
