In his latest analysis on X on July 23, popular trader Skew warned of a “headline curse” as the United States spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) took in over $500 million.ETF flows not enough to sustain BTC price upside


Bitcoin ETF popularity is enjoying a renaissance this week, but the good times are far from guaranteed to stay, Skew said.


After the largest US spot ETF — the BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) — saw $526 million in inflows alone on June 22, he cautioned that such large inflow days have historically preceded BTC price sell-offs.


“As bullish as this is each other time IBIT reported mid-high 9 fig inflow days it occurred around market supply zones,” he summarized.BTC/USDT chart with peak IBIT inflows. Source: Skew


According to data from sources including the United Kingdom-based investment firm Farside Investors, the July 23 netflow total for the US spot ETFs was 533.6 million — the most since March.US spot Bitcoin ETF netflows (screenshot). Source: Farside Investors


In March, BTC/USD hit its all-time high, which still stands, with the market dipping by nearly 25% in the interim.


“So in terms of actually trading this, the obvious part is now does the market sustain this demand & momentum for higher prices,” Skew continued.


He highlighted “consistent” demand for spot, spot takers absorbing supply and overall seller absorption as key requirements to sustain current levels and further upside.

Approved by US regulators to begin trading on July 23, spot Ether (ETH) ETFs have so far failed to spark an anticipatory run-up in price for the largest altcoin by market cap.


Instead, ETH/USD is up just 1.5% over the past week and flat on the day, marking a significant contrast to Bitcoin in the days before its ETFs went live in mid-January.ETH/USD 1-hour chart. Source: TradingView


“The lack of positive reaction is a negative reaction,” trading firm QCP Capital wrote in part of its latest bulletin to Telegram channel subscribers.“Market seems to be seeing who folds first to ‘sell the news.’”


As Cointelegraph reported, some believe several months are required to gauge real demand for spot Ether ETFs.
