$ETH $BTC
To start with the conclusion: this round of market warming is not retail sentiment—it’s ETF capital that moved first.
Last night, crypto ETFs saw a single-day net inflow of $261 million: the BTC fund took $189 million and the ETH fund $71.46 million. Even more interesting is the 7-day cumulative picture: ETH net inflows totaled $100.06 million, while BTC was only $97.14 million—ETH quietly overtook. On a single-day basis, it looks like more BTC was bought, but when you stretch it to a week, institutions are actually adding to ETH.
Sentiment-side recovery as well: the Fear & Greed Index rose from 31 on Aug 17, climbing for three straight days to 46 today—basically climbing out of the “extreme fear” zone.
The derivatives market is also cooperating: over the past 24 hours, the entire network liquidated $125 million, with 79% being short positions. Money flows back, sentiment improves, and shorts get squeezed—three signals all pointing in the same direction.
