ETF Flows (BTC/ETH)

Context note: ETF flow data shown here reflect BTC and ETH ETFs only. This information provides a sense of broader risk appetite and participation in the crypto ecosystem but is not a direct signal for ADA. The data suggest a constructive demand backdrop for risk assets in the BTC/ETH space (1D positive flows), which can support sentiment for crypto assets generally, though ADA-specific drivers remain central here.

• BTC ETF: +$629.8M (1D), +$198.4M (5D), +$585.2M (10D)
• ETH ETF: +$101.2M (1D), -$20.8M (5D), +$81.6M (10D)

What to Watch Next

• Watch for a close above 0.26 to validate a short-term bullish trigger toward 0.2656–0.2708.
• If ADA breaks below 0.25, monitor for a move toward 0.2452–0.2402.
• Monitor BTC/ETH ETF flow strength as a contextual gauge of risk sentiment, not a primary ADA signal.
• Assess any change in volatility regime or breadth signals that could alter the current bearish bias.
