What to Watch

• Bitcoin spot ETF flows, which saw $254.4 million net inflows on February 26, per Coindoo data, warrant close watching.
• The $10.5 billion Bitcoin options expiry on February 27, with a put-call ratio of 0.72, per Deribit data, may drive volatility.
• Binance TRC-20 USDT reserves climbing to $5.2 billion, up from $385 million, per CryptoQuant data, signal retail dry powder.
• Total crypto market cap at $2.36 trillion after a 22.6% February drop, per Binance Research, remains a key sentiment gauge.
• Bitcoin's 90% correlation with the Nasdaq 100, per Gate data, makes upcoming tech earnings a major risk factor.
