Solana spot ETFs recorded $199 million in net inflows across their first four trading days, led by Bitwise and Grayscale products. Bitcoin ETFs experienced $799 million in outflows during the same period, with BlackRock's IBIT accounting for over half the decline. Despite the contrasting flows, on-chain metrics show Solana's momentum remains approximately four times weaker than Bitcoin's in Q4.

Ethereum has held support at $3,680 through four tests since a recent market decline, each producing approximately 17% rebounds. Data show staked ETH carries an MVRV ratio of 1.7 compared to 1.5 for circulating supply, reflecting roughly 20% more unrealized profit among stakers.

Bitcoin gained 1.23% in October, trading 7% below levels needed to fully recover from mid-month losses. A single address accumulated 2,772 BTC worth approximately $309 million on October 26, bringing the entity's estimated average acquisition price to $111K. On-chain data show 91% of circulating supply now sits in profit, with short-term holder cost basis rising above $113K.

Ethereum approaches $4,000 amid shrinking spot inflows and rising leverage ratios on derivatives platforms. Data show an 8% decline to $3,400 between October 6 and October 13 failed to attract significant recovery buying. Concentrated liquidation orders between $3,800 and $4,000 create heightened volatility risk as the asset tests key resistance.

Bitcoin's path to $160,000 depends on three factors: September's 3% core inflation, institutional long positions exceeding $300 million, and capital flows from traditional assets. The Federal Open Market Committee decision in four days will determine whether bullish targets hold.
