ETF & Macro Linkage

• MMS explicitly references “BTC ETF selling” within the distribution context.
• Combined with CEW = 1.00, RISK ON regime, and falling CVD/CMF, this ties ETF-related flows and crypto-equity correlation into a picture of smart money distribution within a risk-on macro backdrop.

Bottom Line

• XRP trades at $1.14, near 4H POC ($1.13) and support at $1.12–$1.10, under resistance at $1.15–$1.18.
• The macro regime is Risk On, with bullish alt breadth and stablecoin pressure, and rising OI with neutral funding.
• At the same time, trend and structure are bearish (downtrend on 4H/1D, bearish EMAs, supertrend, DI), and flow metrics are negative (falling CVD, negative CMF, recent bearish OBV divergence).
• TTM Squeeze and shrinking Bollinger bandwidth highlight volatility compression, with price coiling around a high-volume node in a distribution-phase environment.
