Bitcoin Bullish Signal: Exchange Netflow Remains Negative

Share This Post

On-chain data shows the Bitcoin exchange netflow has remained at negative values recently, which could play in the favor of the asset.

Exchanges Have Been Seeing Net Bitcoin Outflows Recently

An analyst in a CryptoQuant Quicktake post explained that investors have been withdrawing their coins from exchanges recently. The relevant indicator here is the “exchange netflow,” which measures the net amount of Bitcoin currently moving into or out of the wallets of all centralized exchanges. The metric’s value is calculated as the outflows subtracted from the inflows.

When this indicator’s value is positive, the inflows are more significant than the outflows right now; hence, a net number of coins is moving into these platforms.

As one of the main reasons holders may want to deposit their coins to exchanges is for selling-related purposes, such a trend can have bearish consequences for the cryptocurrency.

On the other hand, negative values suggest the holders are making net withdrawals currently. This kind of trend, when sustained, may be a sign that accumulation is going on in the market, which can naturally have bullish effects on the price in the long term.

Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin exchange netflow over the last few months:

As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin exchange’s netflow had been positive during the crash earlier in the month, implying that net deposits had occurred.

These inflows would have been from the investors taking part in the selloff and from those panic selling just after the selloff had occurred. This indicator tracks the combined data for both spot and derivative platforms, so a chunk of these inflows is bound to be coming from those looking to speculate on the futures market.

It wasn’t long, however, before the netflow turned negative, and the metric has since maintained in this region. This would suggest that the holders have continuously taken their coins off these central entities during the last few days.

As analyst James V. Straten has pointed out on X, many of these outflows have come from the Bybit platform alone.

The total balance on the exchange has plunged as a massive $300 million outflow has occurred. These latest withdrawals are the largest the exchange has ever witnessed.

If the market-wide negative netflows that had been occurring were true because of buying taking place in the market, then this sharp rebound could have holding power, as it would mean that it has built up off a strong accumulation foundation.
