📉 Bitcoin Is Lagging Traditional Markets
While the S&P 500 has risen approximately 5% over the past 90 days, Bitcoin has fallen 20%.
This trend continued last week, showing that stocks still lead the market. To improve the overall picture for the crypto industry, Bitcoin needs to strengthen its position relative to major indices.
Meanwhile, NASDAQ is lagging behind other major indices, indicating a less favorable environment for technology-focused and high-growth assets. 📊

🔥 UPDATE: The Bitcoin ETFs saw another weekly net outflow of $389.7M while ETH saw a weekly net inflow of $6.7M.
$BTC

Today’s $ETH saw about $190 million in spot trading volume over 24 hours, while derivatives trading reached $3.26B—more than 17 times higher. Yet the price only moved between 1888 and 1864, with volatility of roughly 1.3%, basically grinding in place. This kind of market means the direction hasn’t emerged, but positions have already piled in. Some are betting on a breakout, some are hedging, and others are repeatedly scalping short-term moves. The scene is lively, but the price hasn’t gone far. The funding rate is only slightly positive, hardly suggesting excessive bullish enthusiasm; althoug

ETH was largely range-bound over the past 24 hours, currently at 1883.95, down slightly by 0.14% over 24 hours and 1.49% over the past 7 days. Institutional sentiment remains favorable—Morgan Stanley increased its holdings of BlackRock’s Ethereum ETF, Goldman Sachs acquired Neos, a crypto yield ETF manager, and ETF net inflows of $6.72 million provided support on the fund-flow front; however, Japan’s 2-year government bond yield hit a 31-year high and global equity declines dampened risk appetite. The opposing forces roughly offset each other, with range-bound trading likely to cont
