POSITIONING
BTC ETF flows: -$62.0M outflow (high significance)
Whale positioning: Heavy BTC shorts ($61.5M) vs longs ($20.2M),
ETH massively short-skewed ($69.9M short, $0 long)
Corporate
Bitcoin rotation: MARA selling 15K BTC for debt retirement signals institutional deleveraging
IMPLICATION
Tactical energy overweight warranted as oil shock probability rises while Fed policy uncertainty caps duration trades. Bitcoin's institutional sell-off creating near-term headwinds but potential entry opportunity if geopolitical premium fades.
