Are we underestimating how much stablecoin flows drive short-term crypto market moves?

Lately I’ve noticed that sudden USDT and USDC inflows to exchanges often precede short-term price moves in BTC and ETH – even more than traditional indicators like funding rates or open interest.

Some tools like Whale Alert and CryptoQuant give surface-level insight, but the correlation seems stronger lately, especially during low-volatility periods.

Questions for discussion:
– Do you personally track stablecoin flows when trading?
– Are they actually predictive, or just coincidental?
– Which on-chain sources (if any) do you trust most for that data?

Would love to hear how other people in this sub factor stablecoin movement into their short-term or swing setups.
