POSITIONING
BTC ETF flows: +$125.0M inflow (13-day streak) — institutional accumulation accelerating
Whale activity: BTC longs $48.8M vs shorts $60.4M,
ETH concentrated short $60.7M
PAXG shorts $15.2M underwater -$480K as
gold rallies through resistance
IMPLICATION
Tactical long crypto/commodities vs bonds as stagflation regime favors hard assets over duration. Energy premium creates tactical short opportunity if geopolitical tensions ease while maintaining inflation hedge exposure.
