POSITIONING
BTC whales: $94M long vs $70.5M short, net positive but modest scale
ETH whales: Heavy short bias $85.4M vs $23M long, -$3.7M PnL bleeding
BTC ETF flows: +$125M inflow (2-day streak, medium significance) — institutional demand persisting
IMPLICATION
Tactical energy overweight vs tech underweight while stagflation regime persists. BTC ETF inflows suggest institutional rotation from equities continues despite whale positioning mixed. Defensive positioning warranted unless Iran premium fades.
