"Three-Dimensional Trading System | BTC Market Analysis (2/3): On-Chain Data" ETF saw net outflows of $487M and $245M over the past two days, but have you noticed a pattern? In 2025, when BTC was above $120K, weekly net inflows exceeded $3B, yet the price still plummeted. On September 21, there was a net inflow of $998M, but the price dropped from $86K to around $80K. Over the past two days, despite net outflows of $487M and $245M, the price has stabilized near $80K. ETFs amplify price movements but are not the core factor determining trend direction. They act more like a contrarian indicator—when retail investors chase ETF inflows, it’s often a local top; when retail panic leads to redemptions, the bottom may not be far off. Whales are buying. Data shows medium-sized whales holding 10-10,000 BTC have accumulated 86,702 BTC over the past three weeks, reaching their highest holdings since April. On October 5, 24,073 BTC saw net outflows from exchanges—the largest single-day outflow in seven months—bringing exchange reserves down to approximately 6.5% of total supply. On-chain insights: ETF outflows are short-term noise, not trend-defining factors. Whales are showing clear defensive intent around $80K, and exchange reserves are declining. On-chain structure is improving, and the correction may be nearing completion.
