HOW A DAY GETS ITS RATING

F-scale · Funnels (inflow)

Bitcoin being pulled into the ETFs. Bigger F, bigger funnel.

G-scale · Geysers (outflow)

Bitcoin being thrown out of the ETFs. Bigger G, bigger geyser.

How the scale is set. Each trading day's net flow is the combined creations minus redemptions across all twelve US spot Bitcoin ETFs, in US dollars, as reported by Farside Investors. The rating is the day's rank against the trailing 252 trading days (one market year) of daily flows, ignoring sign: 0 is below the median, 1 is above it, 2 is top 30%, 3 is top 15%, 4 is top 5%, and 5 is a top-1% day — the ones that make the record books. Thresholds re-compute every night, so an F4 in a quiet year and an F4 in a wild year are both "a big day for that year". The dollar ranges above are tonight's cut-offs. BTC equivalents use that day's Coinbase close and are estimates.

About the data

WHERE THE NUMBERS COME FROM

One number per trading day, from the people everyone quotes

Daily per-fund flows come from Farside Investors, who compile creations and redemptions from the issuers after each US close. Bitcoin Tornado reads the table overnight, rates the day against the trailing year, and renders the card before the next open. No intraday guessing — if a day hasn't been published, the card waits.
  • Net flow in USD is the headline, because that is the unit the source reports. The BTC figure divides by that day's Coinbase close and is an estimate.
  • Timing: a day's flow is usually published the following morning US time. Cards are labelled by the flow date.
  • Revisions: figures are occasionally restated. A day's rating can change the following morning if that happens; the CSV always carries the latest numbers.
