On-chain data shows whales are sending their Bitcoin from spot exchanges to derivatives, indicating that they are building up their positions.<\/p>\n
As pointed out by a CryptoQuant post<\/a>, Bitcoin whales seem to be moving their crypto from spot exchanges to derivative exchanges.<\/p>\n The relevant indicator here is the “all exchanges to derivative exchanges flow mean,” which shows the total amount of coins being transferred from spot exchanges to derivative exchanges.<\/p>\n When the value of this metric shows continuous high values, it means a lot of Bitcoin is being regularly moved to these derivative exchanges, which may hint that whale activity<\/a> has been going on.<\/p>\n Low values would imply not many coins are moving in this direction, and could either be staying still, or be rather going the opposite way: from derivatives to spot.<\/p>\n Now, here is a chart that shows the trend that this indicator has followed over the last couple of years:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The above graph has different regions marked based on whether whales seemed to be accumulating at that time or not.<\/p>\n Related Reading |\u00a0Despite New ATH, Bitcoin Exchange Reserves Continue To Decline<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n The green regions were when the price was mostly moving sideways and the indicator had the whales sending a lot of BTC to derivatives.<\/p>\n Following these periods of accumulation, the price had always shown a jump up during the period of the above chart.<\/p>\n However, once the indicator’s value became very low, BTC’s price has seemed to have made a top after which its value dipped down.<\/p>\n Related Reading |\u00a0Lucky Buyers Possibly Bag $8K Bitcoin During Early Morning Flash Crash<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Now, as is apparent in the graph, the current trend makes it look like whales have just started another phase of accumulation. This could turn out to be bullish for the future price.<\/p>\n At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s price<\/a> floats around $61.5k, up 2.7% in the last seven days. Over the past month, the crypto has accumulated 42% in gains.<\/p>\n The below chart shows the trend in the price of the coin over the last five days:<\/p>\n <\/p>\nThe BTC all exchanges to derivatives flow mean vs the price | Source: CryptoQuant<\/a><\/pre>\n
