why it matters

Moves in leveraged funds mostly reflect short-term trading and daily resetting of their positions, so they show investor sentiment more than fundamental change. The strong gains in funds linked to bitcoin miners point to a sharp move in that segment during the day, which matters for investors following crypto-related equities.
