Macro Brief: Bitcoin ETF Outflow, Hawkish Fed, and Institutional Rotation into Ethereum | 2026-08-29

Bitcoin's Structural Scarcity vs. Weak U.S. Demand: Macro Regime Enters Critical Inflection

Record lost supply (3.56M BTC) tightens float, but a 90-day Coinbase discount and Fear & Greed at 34 signal institutional flows are neutral.

Tactical risk: a break of $63,350 opens upside to $64,200, while $62,700 failure exposes $62,000.
