Bitcoin ‘boring sideways’ era begins with over $1B ETF outflow

US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs have suffered three consecutive sessions of heavy redemptions of more than $1 billion.

The velocity of this U-turn is surprising, considering this year began with a bang. On the first two trading days of this year, the 12 Bitcoin ETF products combined to haul in nearly $1.2 billion.

However, that inflow strength has given way to outflows.

From Jan. 6 through Jan. 8, those same funds hemorrhaged capital, posting net outflows of $243.2 million, $486.1 million, and $398.8 million, respectively.

Bitcoin is swallowing billions in ETF cash again, but a specific “market wrapper” is killing the price breakout

Inflows hit $697 million in days, yet the charts remain frozen because structured demand is neutralizing the rally.

Jan 6, 2026 · Liam ‘Akiba’ Wright

The three-day bloodletting totaled roughly $1.13 billion, effectively netting the month’s flows to a negligible positive balance of around $40 million.

According to CryptoSlate’s data, Bitcoin price action mirrored this volatility. On Jan. 8, the top crypto asset traded above $94,000, then tested support below $90,000.

The liquidity trap

The composition of the selling suggests this was not a retail panic but a structural de-risking by larger players using the most liquid instruments available.

Indeed, the heaviest selling days saw the sector’s giants—BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC—leading the exits.

However, focusing solely on daily ETF churn may miss the broader signal.

Analysis from CryptoQuant suggests that attempting to time the market based on these flow optics is increasingly futile.

CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju noted that capital inflows into the broader Bitcoin network have effectively dried up, and liquidity channels have become too diverse for any single metric to tell the full story.

Crucially, Ju argued that the market has evolved past the simplistic “whale-retail” dump cycles of previous eras.

He noted that the presence of massive institutional holders with infinite time horizons, most notably MicroStrategy, which holds a treasury of 673,000 BTC, provides a floor that didn’t exist in prior bear markets.

With these entities unlikely to liquidate, the probability of a catastrophic 50% crash from all-time highs is muted. Instead, the base case is shifting toward a regime of “boring sideways” price action as capital rotates out of crypto and into equities and other hard assets.

The on-chain warning light

While the floor may be higher, internal momentum signals are flashing yellow.

Data from CryptoQuant reveals that Bitcoin’s “apparent demand” on a 30-day basis has slipped back into negative territory, suggesting that new capital absorption is no longer keeping pace with effective supply.

This shift reflects a familiar macro-onchain pattern: long-term inactive coins re-enter circulation just as fresh demand weakens.

The divergence becomes stark when comparing price action with this 30-day change in demand. In previous cycles, sustained positive demand tended to validate strong price advances.

Currently, however, the price is stabilizing while demand remains structurally soft.

This indicates that recent rebounds are likely driven by short-term positioning rather than durable spot accumulation.

Without a clear recovery in on-chain demand metrics, upside moves may continue to face selling pressure from both short-term holders and previously dormant supply re-entering the market.

Notably, this aligns with the warning signs from the Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio, a key gauge of network profitability that has begun to trend lower.

The declining MVRV indicates that network-wide unrealized profits are no longer expanding at the velocity seen during the bull run’s peak.

Currently, the metric sits in a fragile middle ground: It remains well above the “value zone” that typically attracts contrarian accumulation, yet lacks the momentum to justify a sustained premium.

In this no-man’s-land, the asset becomes hypersensitive to negative catalysts.

Macro headwinds and gold

Meanwhile, the stagnation in crypto demand is not happening in a vacuum; it coincides with a historic resurgence of its analog predecessor, gold, and the broader macro environment.

Data from The Kobeissi Letter has highlighted a dramatic shift in the global monetary order. The US dollar’s share of global currency reserves has fallen to approximately 40%, its lowest level in two decades and an 18-percentage-point drop over the last 10 years.

Gold and US Dollars in Global Reserve

Conversely, gold’s share of reserves has climbed to 28%, a high not seen since the early 1990s. This rise has allowed the bullion to now constitute a larger share of global foreign exchange reserves than the euro, yen, and British pound combined.

The Kobeissi Letter noted that this is not a retail frenzy but a sovereign shift. Central banks are diversifying away from the greenback and stockpiling metal.

This drove gold prices to a 65% rally in 2025, the largest annual gain since 1979, while the US Dollar Index suffered its worst performance in eight years.

However, a short-term dollar resurgence, which hit a one-month high this week, is complicating the picture.

This comes as the market is positioning for a potentially resilient US labor report.

The stakes for this data print are high. A stronger-than-expected jobs report would likely reinforce the dollar’s recent strength and push rate-cut expectations further out, weighing heavily on both gold and Bitcoin.

Conversely, a weak report could reignite the liquidity hopes that fueled the year’s brief, early rally.

For now, the $1 billion outflow streak serves as a reality check. The ETF ecosystem has matured, but that maturity has brought correlation, not decoupling.

With apparent demand turning negative and global capital rotating back into physical safe havens, Bitcoin appears set for a period of stagnation, caught between a high institutional floor and a ceiling of macro indifference.

Bitwise CEO: In the next 6 to 12 months, the focus of the crypto field will be on the credit and lending market

PANews reported on September 18 that Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley tweeted that over the next six to 12 months, the focus of the cryptocurrency sector will shift to credit and lending. This sector is expected to experience explosive growth in the next few years. He pointed out that the current cryptocurrency market capitalization is approaching $4 trillion and continues to grow. When people can borrow against cryptocurrency, they will choose to borrow rather than sell. Furthermore, the market capitalization of publicly traded stocks in the United States exceeds $60 trillion. With the tokenization of assets, individuals holding $7,000 worth of stocks will be able to borrow against them on-chain for the first time. Horsley believes that cryptocurrency is redefining capital markets, and this is just the beginning.

Summarize Any Stock’s Earnings Call in Seconds Using FMP API

Summarize Any Stock’s Earnings Call in Seconds Using FMP API

Turn lengthy earnings call transcripts into one-page insights using the Financial Modeling Prep APIPhoto by Bich Tran Earnings calls are packed with insights. They tell you how a company performed, what management expects in the future, and what analysts are worried about. The challenge is that these transcripts often stretch across dozens of pages, making it tough to separate the key takeaways from the noise. With the right tools, you don’t need to spend hours reading every line. By combining the Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) API with Groq’s lightning-fast LLMs, you can transform any earnings call into a concise summary in seconds. The FMP API provides reliable access to complete transcripts, while Groq handles the heavy lifting of distilling them into clear, actionable highlights. In this article, we’ll build a Python workflow that brings these two together. You’ll see how to fetch transcripts for any stock, prepare the text, and instantly generate a one-page summary. Whether you’re tracking Apple, NVIDIA, or your favorite growth stock, the process works the same — fast, accurate, and ready whenever you are. Fetching Earnings Transcripts with FMP API The first step is to pull the raw transcript data. FMP makes this simple with dedicated endpoints for earnings calls. If you want the latest transcripts across the market, you can use the stable endpoint /stable/earning-call-transcript-latest. For a specific stock, the v3 endpoint lets you request transcripts by symbol, quarter, and year using the pattern: https://financialmodelingprep.com/api/v3/earning_call_transcript/{symbol}?quarter={q}&year={y}&apikey=YOUR_API_KEY here’s how you can fetch NVIDIA’s transcript for a given quarter: import requestsAPI_KEY = "your_api_key"symbol = "NVDA"quarter = 2year = 2024url = f"https://financialmodelingprep.com/api/v3/earning_call_transcript/{symbol}?quarter={quarter}&year={year}&apikey={API_KEY}"response = requests.get(url)data = response.json()# Inspect the keysprint(data.keys())# Access transcript contentif "content" in data[0]: transcript_text = data[0]["content"] print(transcript_text[:500]) # preview first 500 characters The response typically includes details like the company symbol, quarter, year, and the full transcript text. If you aren’t sure which quarter to query, the “latest transcripts” endpoint is the quickest way to always stay up to date. Cleaning and Preparing Transcript Data Raw transcripts from the API often include long paragraphs, speaker tags, and formatting artifacts. Before sending them to an LLM, it helps to organize the text into a cleaner structure. Most transcripts follow a pattern: prepared remarks from executives first, followed by a Q&A session with analysts. Separating these sections gives better control when prompting the model. In Python, you can parse the transcript and strip out unnecessary characters. A simple way is to split by markers such as “Operator” or “Question-and-Answer.” Once separated, you can create two blocks — Prepared Remarks and Q&A — that will later be summarized independently. This ensures the model handles each section within context and avoids missing important details. Here’s a small example of how you might start preparing the data: import re# Example: using the transcript_text we fetched earliertext = transcript_text# Remove extra spaces and line breaksclean_text = re.sub(r'\s+', ' ', text).strip()# Split sections (this is a heuristic; real-world transcripts vary slightly)if "Question-and-Answer" in clean_text: prepared, qna = clean_text.split("Question-and-Answer", 1)else: prepared, qna = clean_text, ""print("Prepared Remarks Preview:\n", prepared[:500])print("\nQ&A Preview:\n", qna[:500]) With the transcript cleaned and divided, you’re ready to feed it into Groq’s LLM. Chunking may be necessary if the text is very long. A good approach is to break it into segments of a few thousand tokens, summarize each part, and then merge the summaries in a final pass. Summarizing with Groq LLM Now that the transcript is clean and split into Prepared Remarks and Q&A, we’ll use Groq to generate a crisp one-pager. The idea is simple: summarize each section separately (for focus and accuracy), then synthesize a final brief. Prompt design (concise and factual) Use a short, repeatable template that pushes for neutral, investor-ready language: You are an equity research analyst. Summarize the following earnings call sectionfor {symbol} ({quarter} {year}). Be factual and concise.Return:1) TL;DR (3–5 bullets)2) Results vs. guidance (what improved/worsened)3) Forward outlook (specific statements)4) Risks / watch-outs5) Q&A takeaways (if present)Text:<<<{section_text}>>> Python: calling Groq and getting a clean summary Groq provides an OpenAI-compatible API. Set your GROQ_API_KEY and pick a fast, high-quality model (e.g., a Llama-3.1 70B variant). We’ll write a helper to summarize any text block, then run it for both sections and merge. import osimport textwrapimport requestsGROQ_API_KEY = os.environ.get("GROQ_API_KEY") or "your_groq_api_key"GROQ_BASE_URL = "https://api.groq.com/openai/v1" # OpenAI-compatibleMODEL = "llama-3.1-70b" # choose your preferred Groq modeldef call_groq(prompt, temperature=0.2, max_tokens=1200): url = f"{GROQ_BASE_URL}/chat/completions" headers = { "Authorization": f"Bearer {GROQ_API_KEY}", "Content-Type": "application/json", } payload = { "model": MODEL, "messages": [ {"role": "system", "content": "You are a precise, neutral equity research analyst."}, {"role": "user", "content": prompt}, ], "temperature": temperature, "max_tokens": max_tokens, } r = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload, timeout=60) r.raise_for_status() return r.json()["choices"][0]["message"]["content"].strip()def build_prompt(section_text, symbol, quarter, year): template = """ You are an equity research analyst. Summarize the following earnings call section for {symbol} ({quarter} {year}). Be factual and concise. Return: 1) TL;DR (3–5 bullets) 2) Results vs. guidance (what improved/worsened) 3) Forward outlook (specific statements) 4) Risks / watch-outs 5) Q&A takeaways (if present) Text: <<< {section_text} >>> """ return textwrap.dedent(template).format( symbol=symbol, quarter=quarter, year=year, section_text=section_text )def summarize_section(section_text, symbol="NVDA", quarter="Q2", year="2024"): if not section_text or section_text.strip() == "": return "(No content found for this section.)" prompt = build_prompt(section_text, symbol, quarter, year) return call_groq(prompt)# Example usage with the cleaned splits from Section 3prepared_summary = summarize_section(prepared, symbol="NVDA", quarter="Q2", year="2024")qna_summary = summarize_section(qna, symbol="NVDA", quarter="Q2", year="2024")final_one_pager = f"""# {symbol} Earnings One-Pager — {quarter} {year}## Prepared Remarks — Key Points{prepared_summary}## Q&A Highlights{qna_summary}""".strip()print(final_one_pager[:1200]) # preview Tips that keep quality high: Keep temperature low (≈0.2) for factual tone. If a section is extremely long, chunk at ~5–8k tokens, summarize each chunk with the same prompt, then ask the model to merge chunk summaries into one section summary before producing the final one-pager. If you also fetched headline numbers (EPS/revenue, guidance) earlier, prepend them to the prompt as brief context to help the model anchor on the right outcomes. Building the End-to-End Pipeline At this point, we have all the building blocks: the FMP API to fetch transcripts, a cleaning step to structure the data, and Groq LLM to generate concise summaries. The final step is to connect everything into a single workflow that can take any ticker and return a one-page earnings call summary. The flow looks like this: Input a stock ticker (for example, NVDA). Use FMP to fetch the latest transcript. Clean and split the text into Prepared Remarks and Q&A. Send each section to Groq for summarization. Merge the outputs into a neatly formatted earnings one-pager. Here’s how it comes together in Python: def summarize_earnings_call(symbol, quarter, year, api_key, groq_key): # Step 1: Fetch transcript from FMP url = f"https://financialmodelingprep.com/api/v3/earning_call_transcript/{symbol}?quarter={quarter}&year={year}&apikey={api_key}" resp = requests.get(url) resp.raise_for_status() data = resp.json() if not data or "content" not in data[0]: return f"No transcript found for {symbol} {quarter} {year}" text = data[0]["content"] # Step 2: Clean and split clean_text = re.sub(r'\s+', ' ', text).strip() if "Question-and-Answer" in clean_text: prepared, qna = clean_text.split("Question-and-Answer", 1) else: prepared, qna = clean_text, "" # Step 3: Summarize with Groq prepared_summary = summarize_section(prepared, symbol, quarter, year) qna_summary = summarize_section(qna, symbol, quarter, year) # Step 4: Merge into final one-pager return f"""# {symbol} Earnings One-Pager — {quarter} {year}## Prepared Remarks{prepared_summary}## Q&A Highlights{qna_summary}""".strip()# Example runprint(summarize_earnings_call("NVDA", 2, 2024, API_KEY, GROQ_API_KEY)) With this setup, generating a summary becomes as simple as calling one function with a ticker and date. You can run it inside a notebook, integrate it into a research workflow, or even schedule it to trigger after each new earnings release. Free Stock Market API and Financial Statements API... Conclusion Earnings calls no longer need to feel overwhelming. With the Financial Modeling Prep API, you can instantly access any company’s transcript, and with Groq LLM, you can turn that raw text into a sharp, actionable summary in seconds. This pipeline saves hours of reading and ensures you never miss the key results, guidance, or risks hidden in lengthy remarks. Whether you track tech giants like NVIDIA or smaller growth stocks, the process is the same — fast, reliable, and powered by the flexibility of FMP’s data.
