BEARISH BTC ⇄ CROSS-ASSET Sustained ETF outflows and long-term holder selling indicate loss of confidence in Ethereum's near-term recovery prospects BEARISH ETH ⚔ COMPETING Year-to-date negative spot ETF flows and a cluster of long liquidations near $63,200 suggest the recent stabilization may be temporary deleveraging rather than a confirmed trend reversal. BEARISH BTC ⇄ CROSS-ASSET Spikes in exchange deposit inflows across altcoins historically mark inflection points and signal increased volatility ahead for the crypto market NEUTRAL ETH
