ETF Flows Across Asset Classes
Bitcoin spot ETFs have pulled in just $205 million in net inflows in July, the lowest monthly total on record. This contrasts sharply with the recent selloff: the asset class saw $2.43 billion in outflows in May and $4.52 billion in June.
Ether ETFs, by contrast, attracted stronger demand. ETH ETFs have attracted $342.85 million in July, outpacing both Solana and XRP. Solana ETFs sit at $13.82 million for the month, while XRP is on track for a fourth consecutive month of inflows, though the sum remains a paltry $13.61 million.
Technical Signals and Price Levels
Bitcoin and ether prices have remained flat since the Federal Reserve's decision, with neither asset moving decisively in the 24 hours that followed. That stasis masks deeper technical shifts.
The Bollinger Bands for Bitcoin are at their tightest at least since January. A prolonged tightening—often called a squeeze—frequently precedes a sharp move. It's like a compressed spring storing energy before release.
Analysts at Marex flagged key technical levels. The 200-week moving average near $63,300 acts as a critical referee. Hold that level and today's flatness reads as strength. Break below $62.5k and bears gain momentum; $60k represents the next major support. Meanwhile, the Binance-listed ether-bitcoin pair has surged by 11% this month, signaling relative strength in ether.
