Bitcoin ETF flows
New studies show that watching money move in and out of Bitcoin funds might not help predict where the price is going next. People who trade crypto care because many rely on these flows to make buying and selling decisions.
What changed
New research questions the predictive power of spot Bitcoin ETF inflows and outflows on future price direction.
Who wins / who loses
Systematic traders who avoid relying solely on flow metrics benefit, while momentum traders who chase daily ETF inflow data face higher risks.

Think in terms of the next few weeks.
