• The Ethereum ETF approval coincided with a shift in investor sentiment, as Bitcoin ETFs experienced outflows after weeks of consistent inflows.
• Exchange net flows and long/short ratios indicated market uncertainty.

The cryptocurrency market has witnessed a significant shift recently. After weeks of consistent inflows, Bitcoin [BTC] ETFs have experienced their first outflows.

This change comes on the heels of the Ethereum [ETH] ETF approval, suggesting a possible correlation between the two events.

Ethereum steals the spotlight

The approval of Ethereum ETFs has seemingly diverted investor attention from Bitcoin. It has also sparked a renewed interest in Ethereum, potentially at the expense of Bitcoin’s recent momentum.

The timing of these events has led to increased speculation about a possible rotation of funds between the two leading coins.

Data from CryptoQuant indicated a trend in exchange net flows. Bitcoin has seen positive net flows of 2675.13 BTC. This means that more coins have been entering exchanges, rather than leaving.

On the other side, Ethereum experienced negative net flows of -24752.72 ETH, suggesting a higher volume of withdrawals from exchanges.

Adding to this, Ali Martinez tweeted that BTC was showing signs of a breakout, possibly heading towards $67,000.

The RSI had already broken its descending trendline at press time, and now it needed to surpass $66,450 to confirm the bullish breakout.

BTC drops hints about market sentiment

AMBCrypto’s analysis of BTC’s Long/Short Ratio Chart via Coinglass provided further insight into market sentiment.

Over the past 24 hours, the ratio has witnessed fluctuations, with recent data showing a slight increase in long positions. This suggested that despite the ETF outflows, investors remained optimistic about Bitcoin’s prospects.
