Full explainer
When fifty thousand Bitcoin leaves an exchange in hours, is someone panic-selling or quietly accumulating? Exchange outflows are one of crypto's most misread signals. Yes, big withdrawals often precede rallies—but they also happen during dumps. The key isn't the number itself, it's the context. Are these old wallets moving coins to cold storage, or new addresses fleeing? Is the outflow happening during volatility spikes or steady trends? Smart traders layer this data: they watch fees, timestamps, and whether coins move to staking or stay dormant. One spike means nothing. Consistent patterns over weeks? That's signal.
