$BTC Spot ETF Flows

+$289.8M today after yesterday's tiny +$23.2M inflow

brings the week to around +$839.7M net so far

$FBTC led today with +$212.7M

$BTC

NY move higher had a decent amount of OI added behind it, but that has started unwinding through asia session

binance spot CVD has rolled over pretty hard since the highs, while longs are getting taken out and shorts haven't really added much

front-end downside vol is getting bid again too, 25d skew back around +2% with put IV above calls.

just looks like spot selling into some late longs unwinding

means a lot coming from adam. one of the best in the game

if you don't read his newsletter, you're doing yourself a disservice

while crypto twitter can be a cesspool of the dumbest and shadiest people you can find, there are still a lot of cool people building cool stuff.

What I recently enjoyed a lot is this spawn of new terminals, often led by single devs.

to name a few that I found really cool

Pre-NY Positioning

yesterday's index flow wasn't overly defensive, $SPY was basically flat on puts with some net call buying.

underneath it was a bit different though, $QQQ / $NVDA / $TSLA / $META all had decent net put buying.

still some upside flow mixed in too, especially around $QQQ.

so hedging is still getting added in pockets, but it isn't really broad risk-off positioning

AAPL and NVDA are now free to try on the terminal, alongside ETH.

ETH’s still live and free. AAPL and NVDA come in as of the previous close, so you get the full options read on both, the options profile, walls, gamma levels, the strike ladder and key levels, drawn right on the chart.

two of the most-watched names in the market, free to look at

and some other updates come with it, a quick thread:

$BTC

NY session move looked mostly like shorts getting squeezed, price +1.5% while OI dropped around $135m, with ~$42m in shorts liquidated.

since the close OI is already rebuilding though, +1.3% while BTC is another ~0.5% higher.

front-end vol has cooled right back off too. 1d IV around 27%, down ~10 points on the week, with skew basically flat / calls slightly bid now.

one bigger hedge did show up further out, 300x Dec 82k puts bought against 300x 82k calls sold.

so the near-term downside panic has mostly disappeared, but there is still some protection being carried further out

Asked @backquant for a Sierra-style footprint yesterday at 11:19. Woke up this morning to “it’s done.”

Thats exactly why his platform made my daily rotation and the others I used to pay for didn’t. He actually listens to traders, and he ships.
