BTC's signal flipped 3 times in 12 days

BTC's daily MACD crossed bullish Aug 7, bearish Aug 11, and bullish again Aug 18 with ADX at 32 — three flips in twelve days, which is chop, not a trend. The flows agree: spot Bitcoin ETFs bled about $390M last week after taking in $853M the week before. ETH stayed bearish-but-flat since late July; SOL held bullish since Aug 8.
