We see fresh demand for Bitcoin, but its shape matters as much as its size. The latest reported US fund inflow was dominated by one issuer while rival funds lost money. That can support Bitcoin without showing a broad return of demand across crypto. The later spot recovery gives buyers a short-term bridge between the flow report and price. A second day of wider inflows would strengthen the case. If one fund keeps carrying the whole story, the recovery remains easy to unsettle. Fresh derivatives data complicates the view: leveraged funding stayed positive while Bitcoin put options attracted more than twice call volume.","links":[]},{"id":"otr-slide-PDF-ae29e122216020b99c26d828-04-detail-3","url":"https://ontherice.org/signals/PDF-ae29e122216020b99c26d828-04/#otr-slide-PDF-ae29e122216020b99c26d828-04-detail-3","title":"The idea, step by step","topic":"evidence","kind":"research","text":"Follow the reasoning from the observations to the proposed result.
