🚨🚨 Update: Our daily view is still showing a rising whales ratio indicating more whales inflows arriving on exchanges. Our total exchanges netflow also showing a positive netflow on exchanges (more inflows than outflows) of almost 850 #BTC. Since end of december
no more big inflows were detected. Also we can see a rising stablecoin supply but a declining stablecoin reserve on exchanges indicating more stablecoin outflows from exchanges. Also for me a sign, they are preparing a dip. As the stablecoin supply keeps rising no big volume
in stablecoins are arriving the treasury. So, not that bearish. However, that would also indicate, we are not done yet with our dumps. That matches very well with my current expectations.
If we switch to our hourly view we can see that our whales ratio maintain very high since
12-31-2021 while our total exchanges netflow has calm down a bit. Our recent big netflow activity was 01-01 and 01-02-2022, while we can see that more inflows were detect than outflows. In the hourly view we can also see that our whales ratio 30D average has declined a bit
since 01-02-2022 indicating less whales inflows and confirmed by our netflows. However, the stablecoin reserves on exchanges has started to decline 12-24-2021 and is showing less stablecoin reserves on exchange since then while the stablecoin supply keeps rising at the same time.
My recent whale alerts matches to what we see here. #Binance showing a total outflow of almost $320m within the last 24h. Only one USDC inflow to crypto.com.
#Binance is the key exchange related to the recent dump phases. Interesting how #Binance reserves as almost the only one keeps rising. #Binance received almost 271,400 #BTC in 2021 while exchanges like #FTX, #Coinbase, #Kraken and #Huobi are reducing it's reserves.
Anyway, if we
check #Binance last reserve moves we see it declined its reserves by almost 10,350 #BTC since its peak (602,000 #BTC) 12-28-2021, but still showing remaining 37,500 #BTC of our huge inflows from 12-23-2021.
#Gemini has also reduced its reserves by 5,100 #BTC since 12-29-2021 but also still have remaining 8,350 #BTC from its last big inflows.
#Bitfinex reduced 6,100 #BTC since 12-22-2021, but more inflows coming in. Since 12-23-2021 we have detected almost 3,200 #BTC.
Last but not least #Okex have received almost 1,900 #BTC since 12-31-2021.
The total exchange reserves declined since 12-29-2021 by almost 26,300 #BTC. Drivers of this decline were #Coinbase and #Kraken. Also here, we still have a plus of 9,000 #BTC
from the last big inflows happend 12-23-2021. Imo we are not done yet and we should dump further as expected since days. Patience is key as usual.
Option tradring more activity for the coming 14Jan22 expiry. Their trade range is between 47k - 51k. We have more call buys in lower
ranges and more call sells in upper ranges. It seems they are not expecting big bullish moves until mid of Jan. Also the max pain has declined for all expiries from 55k to 54k confirming a shift to lower ranges.
$DXY has confirmed what I have expected, they have formed a bear trap to pump hard now while $SPX is holding its support at 4766. Imo $DXY will flip and fall heading its bottom trendline again to lift up again and generate more bearish pressure to the markets. If so, #BTC will
get this sell pressure too. However, I stick to my plan and will flip to bullish immediately after we have seen a big last dump heading lower 40s. Imo we will pump afterwards again to form a fake rally, to distribute the way up and flip again later on.
Also an interesting view that shared @52kskew yesterday indicating a long gamma, a risk management strategy for option traders, when they expect an incoming rising in volatility.
🚨🚨 Update: Our daily view is showing the (1) highest volatility in whales ratio since years. First it dumped hard indicating almost non tokens arriving by whales on exchanges, then it pumped hard indicating incoming whales inflows
and it dumped afterwards again. The (3) netflow chart is confirming those operations. First big outflows, big inflows afterwards and rising outflows later on again.
However, we had a total netflow of (minus) 2,666 BTC, indicating a bigger outflow from exchanges. Matches to the
price action as the price has started to lift up again after reaching our local bottom at $45.7k yesterday.
The whales ratio 30d average (2) keeps rising indicating more inflows arriving exchanges, while the (yellow curve) stablecoin reserve on exchanges are declining indicating
What if the recent dumps are related to the spot ETF rejection by SEC from November 12th? At least that could explain why #Bitfinex placed walls in the range of $38k - $46k. If so, that wouldn't be that bearish.
Details:
Institutionals dumping the price in May to accumulate and prepare the launch or their Spot ETFs. China FUD as trigger to let retailers sell their tokens. When everybody was expecting the big dump to lower ranges 07-21-2021 #FTX starts to buy and pumped the price up
init a new rally heading upper 40s/50s. More China FUD follows to get more tokens from retailers. FOMOying with incoming Spot ETF to rise the price up and reach new ATH. November 12th SEC announcing their rejection citing concerns about the lack of regulation and the potential
Sometimes to detect certain OTC activity I usually use the Total Tokens tranferred on netwok indicator combined with the exchange counts indicators. Together they can show you potential OTC activity. The August pump was driven by #FTX and my theory is, the
rise of activity outside of exchanges (potential OTC, darknet, etc.) in August happen because #FTX huge transactions, a total of 40,000 #BTC. I have reported about that close after it happend. But the other 3 I have detected looks strange. They are related to dumps. Would be
interesting to know Genesis current data related to #BTC demand by institutionals. Because in their last report they mentioned that institutional demand is shifting from #BTC to #ETH. Until yet I thought our current dumps are related to the China mainland shut down, but what if
🚨🚨 Update: Today just quick market view as no big changes happend since yesterday. We've started the year with extremely low volume, so also netflows no showing anything big.
Our hourly view shows a high whales ratio since the beginning of the new year.
In the first 2 days we have detected to relatively big positive netflows, indicating more inflows than outflows to exchanges and one negative netflow in the beginning of the year. However, the netflow is showing us more inflows from whales are arriving to exchanges. The last big
netflow happend yesterday at 2 am (UTC +1) with almost 1,700 #BTC.
Also option trades didn't really change. At least nothing useful to let us predict certain price levels for January. Some of option traders have started to buy options for EoY 2022, their trade range between
Mid of June I have mentioned that I was expecting a shift to new lows as the market was reacting like in a re-distribution schematic, with poor quality rallies and only a rise in volatility in the beginning of the phase. But then June 26th something changed.
I have never understood what happend there. Now after months with more data and information in general, I think to know what let us flip from an uncoming dump to a new bottom to a quick accumulation from July 4th to July 20th. I have mentioned different times, that the pump
