BlackRock's IBIT took in $665.2M on Monday alone and finished the week at +$565.7M. The other eleven bitcoin ETFs lost $256.7M between them. Then the last two days flipped the tape: −$635.5M from bitcoin funds on Thursday, the largest outflow of the past month, and another −$137.9M on Friday, with IBIT itself giving back $110.3M. Bitcoin still closed the week at +$309.0M, but that is what remained of $1.08B built from Monday to Wednesday. |

Friday lifted the index out of fear and back into neutral. Today's flow (37) and the 20-day trend (38) are still below 50; breadth rose to 55 and is the only part above it. How CEFI works → |
