When flows flip positive, watch FBTC and IBIT first for direction and size, then check whether ETH and selective altcoin ETFs confirm breadth.
Conclusion
Todays crypto flows were shaped by net outflows from Bitcoin ETFs and inflows into Ether ETFs, signaling a split tape that tempers downside but does not yet restore broad risk appetite. The biggest daily drivers on strong sessions remain FBTC and IBIT. If both BTC and ETH ETF flows turn positive together for several sessions, market breadth and liquidity could improve meaningfully.
