13k $BTC flowed out from Coinbase a few hours ago.
It seems those BTC went to multiple Coinbase custody wallets. US institutional investors are still buying Bitcoin at the 48k price.
This is the strongest bullish signal I've ever seen.
Chart 👉
Someone(s) bought up $1.6B worth $BTC via market orders in just 5 minutes.
Short liquidations seem relatively smaller like $17M at that time.
This is more like whale buying, not cascade liquidations.
$ETH supply doesn't increase anymore.
Its rate of change became almost zero after the London hard fork.
Just like Bitcoin, ETH is now a scarce asset with limited supply.

Most perpetual swap buying volume came from pure $BTC purchases, not forced short liquidations.
More bullets for bulls.
$BTC accumulation phase begins.
Newbies who joined last year are evolving to long-term holders. The market cap for 6-month+ old BTC takes 52% now. It was 13% at the cyclic top.
Unlikely to hit the previous low($28k) as the newbies will wait for other newbies in the next cycle.
$BTC market is very uncertain right now.
Whale selling indicates a bear/fake-bull market, and retail selling implies a bull market. We're in neutral now.
Stop trade, be patient and wait for the next volatility.
Someone is buying $BTC a lot.
99% of transactions are happening outside of the exchanges. Possibly OTC deals.
If big names announce their buying, bears could be in a trouble. I'm not sure about short-term price moving tho.
$131B worth of $BTC moved yesterday, but only 1% from the exchange deposits/withdrawals. Fund Flow Ratio for all exchanges hit the 2-year low.
This might indicate $BTC OTC trading by big players.
Chart 👉
$BTC whales are moving.
It's the largest moving I've ever seen since 2017 excluding outliers.
The average TX amount skyrocketed like 5x, and it seems most big transactions didn't come from exchanges if you see the fund flow ratio.

Easy money can't drive industry-wide progress, as shown by the 2018 ICO burst.

Massive Coinbase outflows. 15k $BTC at 32.4k
Looking at the TX, it went to custody wallets that only have in-going transactions. It's likely to be OTC deals from institutional investors.

Everyone is talking about bearish things, but most of them haven't left the crypto market. They're just waiting for the bottom.

marketcap decreased by -70% from the top while stablecoin went down by just -11%.
Imagine when SEC approves Bitcoin ETFs.
US followers like Korea will approve Bitcoin ETFs, more global institutions will buy BTC, and more global financial services will launch Bitcoin funds.
How much BTC price would be then?
The bull market may last longer than we thought.
It seems whales move their coins from centralized exchanges to other wallets before pumping altcoins.
Here's the average amount of outflows across all exchanges for $AAVE, $SUSHI, $LINK, $UNI, $BAT, and $SNX.

I admit my mistakes on the wrong prediction. It was so wrong. I was a permabull when $BTC hit the all-time high.
But I want to say the goal of my tweet is to show how to use data. From now on, I'll more focus on data insights.
Hope you do your own research before place bets.
Miners keep holding $BTC.
Bitcoins periodically sent to exchanges from miners are decreasing.
Chinese regulations can force miners to sell their rigs but not Bitcoin.
(Disclaimer: I'm not a Bitcoin maxi)
There are many institutional investors who bought $BTC at the 30-32k level. The Coinbase outflow on Jan 2nd was a three-year high.
Speculative guess, but if these guys are behind this bull-run, they'll protect the 30k level. Even if we have a dip, it wouldn't go down below 28k.
Isn't it illegal?
1/ FTX allows withdrawals only for TRX & TRC20.
2/ Users exchange assets to TRX to request withdrawals.
3/ TRX price goes up like 50x in FTX.
4/ Justin deposits TRX into FTX and sells them.
5/ FTX users sell TRX in other exchanges with a significant loss.
Whale Observation:
Whales seem to punt a long position by sending $BTC to derivatives exchanges from other exchanges when the price is at the bottom.
Each time this indicator hit the peak, the funding rate across all exchanges gets neutral.

Been tracking Binance's wallets for four years.

Not sure how long it would take for consolidation in this range tho. Opening a big short position here sounds not a good idea unless you think that $BTC is going to zero.

Another significant Coinbase outflows at 48k. US institutional investors are still buying $BTC.
I think the major reason for this drop is the jittering macro environment like the 10-year Treasury note, not whale deposits, miner selling, and lack of institutional demand.
If you are not an insider, keep your eyes on data to see how front-runners behave:
1/ $1.6B-worth $BTC buying in 5 mins

This $BTC correction is more like a technical correction, and the fundamentals are still strong.
US institutional demand has driven this bull market. There's no change in this trend.
Predicting a short-term move became hard due to derivative markets and altcoin season tho.
Coinbase Premium hit the all-time low -$1020 and then skyrocketed +$486.
Remember who's driving the market. Coinbase whales have been accumulating $BTC in 44-48k range.
Even if there are more corrections, it's unlikely to go down below 44k.

59,151 $BTC just unpegged from BTCB and flowed into Binance.
BTCB is the Bitcoin-pegged Token on BNB chain.
Since $BTCB marketcap decreased at the same time, it doesn't seem to be post-settlement. Sell-side liquidity imo.
$BTC market is in the greedy stage.
How much leverage people bet in derivative trading can indicate investors' fear and greed. It has increased since February.
I'm not saying bearish, but I usually recommend buying when it's in the fear phase.

$BTC accumulation level reached a 7-year high.
Over 6-month-old Bitcoins now take 74% of the realized cap. It was 70%, and 77% at the last bottoms in 2019, and 2015 respectively.
Imagine you buy Bitcoins and do nothing over six months. You know how hard it is.
MVRV is currently 1.50, which indicates

If this is the end of the bull cycle, we should keep our eyes on this classic indicator to catch the cyclic bottom.
Historically, the cyclic bottom comes when MVRV reached below 1.
$ETH all-time high in 2021 is different from 2018.
Fewer deposits, more withdrawals across all exchanges.

Whales are sending $BTC to derivative exchanges from other exchanges to punt new positions or fill up margins.
If you look at the historical data, the price goes up in the long term after their accumulation. Their positions seem to be long positions.
One thing that makes me worried about $BTC is exchange netflows.
There are many Bitcoins are flowing into exchanges lately but the trading volume is still relatively low.
$BTC needs more trading volume to digest increasing exchange inflows.

📉 Most $BTC exchange deposits are coming from whales. Top 10 TXs take almost 90% of the total volume in an hour.
📈 Exchange reserve is decreasing, leading to less supply on exchanges.
It seems most US institutions haven't sold any Bitcoin since their OTC deals.
For example, here are custody wallets from Coinbase outflows on Dec 23, 2020. No $BTC moved since then.
Remember, institutions like

2023-24:
$15K → $45K (Recovery)
$45K → $68K (Bull market to previous ATH)
$68K → $___K (The real bull market)
This rally has been driven by whale buying, not short squeeze.
Massive $BTC buying market orders in derivative exchanges are not from short liquidations.
This indicates:
1/ There are no big short positions liquidated so far
2/ Whales punted long positions since the dip
#Bitcoin
Miners are extremely bullish now.
Hashrate to mining revenue ratio hit an all-time high, meaning they keep investing in infrastructure despite very small $BTC mining revenue.
Historically, miners were underwater in the short term but never failed in the long term.
It seems Huobi users moved $ETH,
#stablecoins
, and DEX tokens to decentralized exchanges like Uniswap.
Outflow transactions spiked after Huobi announced the suspension of existing accounts in mainland China.
Ironically, regulation led to decentralization this time.
This $50k battle is about Coinbase whales(USD) vs. Stablecoin whales(USDT).
Negative Coinbase premium, but plentiful stablecoins in exchanges. Negative premium should be cooled down to get another leg up.

This whale dumping indicator hit a year-high since the March great sell-off last year. Whales keep depositing $BTC into exchanges.
If this is an orchestrated effort, it will go down again. If not, we may retest the bottom again at least.
Whales started depositing $BTC to exchanges when the price was $50k.
Tbh, I was super bullish before Elon's tweets, and then this shit happened after his tweet. Can't blame him, but it seems like a butterfly effect.
Until this indicator cools off, I'll keep my bearish bias.
I think this is why the $BTC price is going down in spite of strong fundamentals...🐶
