On a day when everything is in the green, the first thing I did was check my stop-losses. 22 of the 24 major coins were up, market breadth was 91.7%, the Fear & Greed Index reached 63, and $BTC 82,039 and $ETH 2,440 both closed in the green. Broad rallies like this make it especially tempting to jump in. Honestly, most of my worst trades in the past happened when sentiment was at its hottest.
There’s a divergence worth watching: according to SoSoValue data, yesterday (October 15, U.S. Eastern Time), spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows of just $5.0551 million, while $ETH saw net outflows of $60.2222 million. Prices are rising, but ETF inflows are shrinking, and $BTC futures open interest edged down 0.22% over one hour. I’m inclined to view this move as rotation within existing capital, not fresh money coming in.
So I’m taking a cautious approach: as long as $BTC doesn’t decisively break below the 82,000 reference level, I’ll hold my position without adding. If it breaks below, I’ll trim one step and reassess; my short-term outlook will no longer apply. $ETH 2 is up a much stronger 2.37% over 24 hours, but with ETF outflows and a long-short ratio of 2.63, I don’t think chasing the rally offers good value. I’d rather wait for a pullback and reassess. Even if $INJ ’s gain of 23.24% looks impressive, I won’t touch it if it’s not part of my plan.
One more recent development to keep an eye on: UniSat and Utexo are partnering to integrate RGB-protocol-based USDT into the Bitcoin ecosystem. That’s a long-term story and won’t affect my short-term decisions today. For now, I’m watching just two things: whether ETF flows turn positive and whether futures open interest recovers. In a broad rally like this, are you taking profits while prices are green, or letting it ride?
