Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum slide lower alongside declining inflows to exchanges

Bitcoin and Ethereum correct on Tuesday, dropping more than 2% each.
Data from OKX and Binance show a slowdown in retail activity, lower than past bull markets and even the 2019-2020 bear market.
XRP dips under $0.6200 support, trades at $0.6111.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP updates

Bitcoin Spot ETFs observed eight consecutive days of positive flows. Typically, consecutive inflows signal sustained institutional demand for the asset. According to data from Farside Investors, Bitcoin ETFs noted $61.3 million in inflows on Monday.
Ethereum hovers around $2,500 on Tuesday. Ethereum ETFs noted an outflow of $0.8 million on Monday. The altcoin continues to correct, breaking under Saturday’s low of $2,524 at the time of writing.
XRP faces a correction even as Ripple announces tentative approval of a Dubai financial license. The altcoin dips under the $0.6200 support level and trades at $0.6111 at the time of writing.

Chart of the day: Omni Network (OMNI)

OMNI ended its multi-month downward trend on September 3 when the asset closed above $6.57. The token is likely to extend its decline by 12% and sweep liquidity in the Fair Value Gap (FVG) between $7.87 and $8.35. OMNI is currently trading below the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) as seen in the OMNI/USDT daily chart.

If OMNI sees a daily candlestick close above the 50-day EMA at $10.39, it could invalidate the bearish thesis for the asset.

Market updates

Crypto exchange flows data from OKX and Binance show that the inflows to centralized exchanges are lower than both past bull markets and the bear market of 2019-20. While lower inflows typically mean there is reduced selling pressure on assets across exchange platforms, it also signals a decline in activity and demand among traders.

Bitcoin inflows to exchanges

Toncoin ecosystem tokens, which are listed on Binance, have observed a steep correction in their prices in the past seven days, according to data from Coinmarketcap.com.
