On-chain data shows exchanges have received heavy Bitcoin inflows over the last couple of weeks, a potential factor behind the asset’s bearish action.
Bitcoin Exchanges Have Been Trending Up in Recent Times
It’s a brand new world post Ali Martinez, an analyst at X has discussed the newest trend of the Bitcoin Supply on Exchanges for Bitcoin. The “Supply on Exchanges” here is an on-chain indicator from the analytics firm Santiment that keeps track of the total amount of BTC that’s sitting on the wallets connected to centralized exchanges.
This means that holders of the tokens are increasing the number they deposit on these platforms. As one of the main reasons why investors transfer to exchanges is for selling-related purposes, this kind of trend can have a bearish effect on the coin’s value.
On the contrary, the indicator going up indicates that investors are withdrawing coins into self-custodial accounts. A downward trend could be an indication that a network has been experiencing problems. accumulationThis can be seen as a positive sign for cryptocurrency.
Here is the graph shared by an analyst showing the trends in Bitcoin supply on exchanges for the last few weeks.

The timing of these deposits has come alongside the cryptocurrency’s price decline, so it’s likely that a lot of these were made with the intention to sell.
Martinez also included the Exchange Inflow data in the chart. This shows not only net inflows, but all the inflows to these platforms. This metric showed a large spike over the weekend. BTC then continued its fall.
Interestingly, the Supply on Exchanges didn’t see any increase with this large spike, indicating that there was enough demand for withdrawing the cryptocurrency that balanced out the deposits.
