The October 22 session followed a sharp reversal earlier in the month. Yahoo Finance reported that US spot Bitcoin ETFs drew 526.6 million USD on October 19, 2026, the largest single-day inflow since September 22, 2026. The same report said the funds had recorded 617.17 million USD of net outflows in October before that session, indicating that flows have been volatile over the month.
A separate exchange-based measure pointed to continued seller pressure in the week through October 18, 2026. According to EconoTimes, citing Glassnode, the spot-taker reading, which compares buyer- and seller-initiated trades on centralized exchanges, was negative 83.6 million USD, versus negative 67 million USD in the prior week. The realized-profit-to-loss ratio fell to 0.4 from 0.8. ETF flows and exchange trading measures cover different channels and periods and should not be treated as directly comparable.
