#数字资产市场动态 Recently took a close look at $BTC and $ETH 's ETF capital flows. The data points to one issue—30 consecutive days of large net outflows.



This is not just minor fluctuations; it has a tangible impact on recent market conditions. From the capital perspective, there is no active willingness for new funds to enter; instead, it looks more like large institutions are trimming positions at this year-end point. Rebalancing? Not visible for now.

Looking at the technical side, the situation is also not very optimistic. Bitcoin's daily chart shows a bearish engulfing pattern, with trading volume continuously shrinking—indicating a clear lack of market participation. Although the bulls are still holding on, they are clearly just hard-pressed. Once the price starts weakening, it usually doesn't bounce back naturally but instead drops rapidly to deleverage and liquidate. Therefore, this upward breakout can basically be considered a phase failure.

However, in the medium term, it won't be a one-sided decline. My forecast is as follows:

December will likely remain in a weak oscillation → January may see a technical rebound → followed by another pressure-driven decline

The reason is quite straightforward. End-of-year liquidity is tight, and risk appetite generally declines. But with the new year, reallocation of funds and market sentiment recovery tend to trigger a rebound. The problem is, before genuine incremental capital flows back, this rebound is likely to be structural and not a trend reversal.

Simply put:

In the short term, both capital and technical structures cannot support a strong bullish trend. The current breakout has already failed, and it will take time to digest high-level positions. Although there might be a rebound window in January, it’s more of a "catch your breath" opportunity, not a sign of a new bull market.

In such an uncertain environment, more than predicting the direction, it’s crucial to focus on risk control—manage positions well, lower expectations, and patiently wait for clearer signals. The market won't run away, but making mistakes during this ambiguous period often results in amplified costs.

Net outflow for 30 days, are the big institutions really running away, or is this just year-end market action? I actually think this prediction is a bit conservative. The technicals look bad, but don’t forget that December has always been like this in previous years. The key is whether new money comes in during January.

ngl, 30 days of net outflows... that's a *massive* red flag. been tracking the wallet movements myself and the data don't lie—institutions are clearly de-risking hard rn. classic honeypot setup for retail fomo honestly.

It sounds like institutions are quietly pulling out, and we're retail investors still here picking up the pieces? Net outflow over the past 30 days at the end of the year indicates a problem. The rebound is just so-so; don't expect a bull market, just wait to get cut. Taking risk management seriously is really important. Things have been incredibly unclear during this period.

Net capital outflow over 30 days, this wave is indeed a bit weak. The technical aspect is also hard to describe, still need to hold on.

Net capital outflow over 30 days, this really can't hold up anymore. The breakout at the end of last year looked suspicious. Institutions are starting to shrink again. End of the year, that's the way it is—liquidate positions, wait for the New Year. Retail investors are still there catching the bag. I agree with this prediction. The January rebound is most likely a "buffer zone." Don't overthink it. Real incremental funds are hard to come by; most likely, we still have to stay patient. --- Honestly, these uncertain periods are the most damaging. I'd rather see a decline than this kind of volatility. One wrong move and you'll lose a lot. --- Oh, by the way, during liquidity crunches, the sharpest cuts usually come first. If you doubled down after this technical failure, you're just waiting to get wiped out. --- Your risk control points are spot on. That's a million times better than gambling on the direction. Many people just don't understand this and insist on going all in. --- Your analysis is interesting, but I still think the bear market signals are too obvious. Don't wait until January; saving your skin is the priority.
