Investors pulled a record $172.2 billion from cash, redirecting funds into stocks and US equities, according to Bank of America citing EPFR data. The S&P 500 prediction market for April 15 sits at 100.0% YES, up from 85% 24 hours ago.
Market reaction
The cash outflow signals risk-on positioning, with US equities receiving $17.4 billion in inflows. Emerging markets saw a $10.5 billion outflow, with Korea experiencing a record $2.5 billion withdrawal. The S&P 500 market is now fully priced at 100.0% YES for an increase. The largest move in this market was a 3-point spike in the last session.
Why it matters
Bitcoin prediction markets reacted with mixed signals. The Bitcoin Price Predictions for April remain at 100.0% YES for the $78,000 to $80,000 range. The US equity inflows point toward risk appetite, but the $10.5 billion emerging market outflow and ongoing geopolitical tensions cut the other way.
What to watch
The S&P 500’s move is backed by $48,945 in USDC traded on Polymarket in the last 24 hours. With cash rotating into equities, the same risk-on behavior could spill into Bitcoin, though geopolitical uncertainty could cap gains. Bank of America and JPMorgan earnings reports are upcoming catalysts that could move sentiment. Any developments in the Middle East or shifts in US monetary policy would also affect these odds.
