Data shows the Bitcoin exchange inflows and outflows have both shrunk recently as market activity has remained low.<\/p>\n
As per the latest weekly report from Glassnode<\/a>, the BTC inflow volumes are now only around $350-$400 million per day. The “exchange inflow<\/a>” is an indicator that measures the total amount of Bitcoin currently being deposited to centralized exchanges by holders. Its counterpart metric is the “exchange outflow<\/a>,” and it naturally tracks the volume leaving exchange wallets.<\/p>\n Generally, during periods of high activity in the market, both these indicators rise to high values as a large number of investors make their respective moves. However, the price may react in particular directions depending on which of these metrics is higher at the moment.<\/p>\n Since one of the main reasons why investors use exchanges is for selling purposes, inflows outweighing outflows could be bearish for Bitcoin. On the other hand, outflows being more dominant can suggest there may instead be buying pressure in the market as investors are withdrawing their coins for accumulation.<\/p>\n Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin exchange inflows and outflows over the last few years:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As shown in the above graph, the Bitcoin exchange inflows and outflows were both at high levels during the past couple of years, with their volumes remaining in the range of multi-billion dollars throughout. At the peak of inflows back in May 2021, between $2.8 billion to $3.5 billion per day was entering exchange wallets.<\/p>\nlooks like both these metrics have declined in recent weeks | Source: Glassnode's The Week Onchain - Week 2, 2023<\/a><\/pre>\n
