ETF Flows (BTC/ETH)
\n
Note: ETF flow data provided pertains to BTC and ETH. This information is context for risk-on/risk-off conditions and should not be treated as a primary signal for XRP. The BTC ETF shows positive daily inflows (+$629.8M) and continued gains over 5D and 10D horizons, while ETH ETF inflows are positive over 1D (+$101.2M) but negative over 5D (-$20.8M) and positive over 10D (+$81.6M). These patterns suggest a cautious but generally supportive stance for risk assets in the near term, aligning with a soft macro environment.

- Monitor for a breakout above 1.42 on a 1-hour close to validate a potential near-term bullish extension toward 1.4448–1.4731.
- Watch for a break below 1.36 on a 1-hour close to validate a downside target toward 1.3337–1.3065.
- Assess changes in BTC/ETH ETF flow momentum as a broader risk-on/off signal that could influence XRP behavior in thin liquidity.
- Stay attentive to cross-market sentiment shifts given the high BTC correlation and very-low volatility backdrop.
