Bitcoin Whales Buy The Dip As BTC Drops To $39k

The Bitcoin outflows spiked sharply according to on-chain data, suggesting that whales are buying the drop down to $39k.

Bitcoin Exchange Outflows Show High Valuation, Indicating Whale Activity

An analyst pointed out in a CryptoQuant article that BTC outflows had seen a significant spike.

The “exchange outflows” is an indicator that measures the total amount of Bitcoin currently exiting wallets of all exchanges.

Investors are likely to withdraw large amounts of money at this time if the indicator’s value is high. A large value can indicate whales bought.

This trend can be bullish for cryptocurrency’s price if it is sustained. Investors usually move their crypto out exchanges in order to build wealth.

On the other hand, low outflow values suggest there isn’t much buying going in the market right now. It could be either neutral or bearish for the market.

The graph above shows that the Bitcoin outflow has been a significant value in recent months as it has fallen below $40k.

The possibility that whales jumped at the chance to collect more coins is suggested by this. The price of Bitcoin saw a slight uplift in January, following similar outflows.

Bitcoin fell below the $39k mark after more than a month of holding it above that level. It is the continuation of the fall that began last month, when BTC reached $47k.

Currently, it’s unclear when the price may observe some recovery. If the outflows prove anything, signs could be bullish for crypto.
