Crypto ETFs dumped $311.93M yesterday — straight outflow. That's real money leaving the building, not just chart noise.
When ETF flows flip negative like this, it's a liquidity signal. Institutions are pulling back or rotating. Watch how price reacts here — if we hold support on heavy outflow, that's actually bullish (absorption). If we crack with no bounce, the bid's gone.
Derivatives side matters more now. Check if open interest is dropping with it (real deleverage) or if funding's still positive (retail hasn't capitulated). If OI stays flat and funding's neutral, this could just be spot rotation before the next leg.
Don't fade the outflow — respect it. But don't panic either. Let price confirm the direction. If we're near a liquidation cluster or a clean support level, this could be the flush before the rip.
