THE MARKET FLINCHES AHEAD OF CPI

🟡 Neutral — macro has calmed down, but crypto is still nervous

The main change of the day is a sharp decline in the stock market fear index (VIX 17.76 vs 21.77 yesterday): the external backdrop looks calmer, and yields and the dollar have barely moved. At the same time, systemic liquidity has moderately increased over the week, which usually lends a shoulder to risk assets, but against this backdrop the market often “freezes” in anticipation of tomorrow’s data.

In crypto, sentiment has worsened: the fear and greed index is back in extreme fear territory (9), and BTC’s weekly performance has slipped to -11.34%. A positive shift is that the daily flow into BTC ETFs has turned positive (+$371 million after yesterday’s outflow), however the weekly total for ETFs remains deeply negative (-$1.65 billion), meaning institutions overall are still de-risking. From yesterday’s scenario of a “nervous range around 70k” we have moved to a more fragile equilibrium: there is liquidity support, but without stabilization of ETF flows and the reaction to CPI, resilience may not be enough.

WHAT TO WATCH

1) Tomorrow CPI and NFP: the reaction of the dollar and yields will set the tone for BTC for 24–48 hours.
2) BTC-ETF flows: it’s important whether inflows will hold after a one-off reversal.
3) The 70,000 level for BTC: holding/returning above it will be a marker that sellers are running out of steam.
