The trend in Bitcoin inflows is up according to on-chain data, which could indicate that whales may be increasing their dumping. This could be a bearish sign for Bitcoin.
The Inflows of Bitcoin Continue to Rise as the Whales Keep Selling
CryptoQuant’s post points out that BTC inflows into exchanges are increasing, as shown by on-chain information.
The “all exchanges inflow” is an indicator that shows the amount of Bitcoin that holders are depositing to exchanges on a given day.
Investors send more coins to exchanges if the metric’s value rises. Holders deposit BTC in order to purchase altcoins or withdraw their fiat. This could indicate dumping and be bearish on the market.
However, if the value of Bitcoin inflows drops, this could mean that fewer investors are depositing Bitcoins to exchanges. Such a trend may mean that holders aren’t interested in selling at the moment.
