🚨🚨 Update: Today a quick market update as nothing have changed since yesterday. We still detect more incoming inflows from whales. The whales ratio maintains its level between 0.7 - 1.0. As soon we register bigger outflows, more inflows follows. Today we have
registered more inflows than outflows. The stablecoin reserves on exchanges has rised a bit. I have received some whale alerts related to new stablecoin inflows to exchanges, but we have more outflows coming from #Binance again. Almost $510m stablecoin withdraw registered from
#Binance indicating whales selling their assets and withdrawn their stablecoins. If we don't detect some big inflows to treasury soon its almost confirmed that these whales want to stay to stablecoins to buy the dip afterwards. We have also detected $400m stablecoin inflows
arriving #Okex and #Huobi. Those $200m from #Huobi are coming from #Bitfinex and fresh minted from (thin air) #tether treasury. Maybe pump ammo or just to hold the line ($45.5k) as they expect a rising sell pressure. However, our whales ratio 30d average has declined today. Even
if we still detect more whales inflows, it has subsided a little. Since yesterday we have more positive netflows than negative, confirming the high whales ratio and indicating more inflows than outflows.
Today option traders are trading more bearish than yesterday based on their recent transactions. The volume for options with expiry 07Jan22 and 14Jan22 has rised a lot. Both showing more Puts than Calls. Some traders bought almost $35m in puts for our 14Jan22 expiry expecting a
#BTC price below $44k. That let explain our decline in max pain again from 54k to 52k after it declined from 55k to 54k just few days ago indicating, option traders are adjusting their option portfolio now. Anyway, the biggest trade activity for all expiry right now is for puts
at $44k and for calls at $60k. It looks like option traders are expecting a dump below $44k until 01-14-2022, while they expect 52k end of the month.
Futures are looking very bearish atm. Leverage ratio maintains its high level, funding rates rising a bit, but not a big deal atm
It seems, at least thats showing me the chart, in futures we had a flash crash to 44.9k to retrace quick afterwards one hour ago. Anyway, no big liquidations happend since yesterday.
In the last hour we have received more shorts than longs, except on #Bitfinex, #Huobi and
#Deribit. You remember the indirect stablecoin inflow from #Bitfinex to #Huobi I've mentioned above? 🧐 Do they know something? We will see.
If we check the longs/shorts ratio of the last 24h its almost neutral and that matches to the funding rates. Also here #Bitfinex traders
very bullish, with #Kraken and #Deribit traders as they traded more longs than shorts.
Total exchange reserves has risen since yesterday by 800 #BTC. #Okex has received more tokens too, a total of 550 #BTC since yesterdays update. #Bitfinex is surprising me with 1,550 more #BTC
in their reserves. #Gemini also showing a rising reserve by almost 450 #BTC. #Binance maintains its reserve level and has just reduced its reserve by almost 350 #BTC since yesterday.
Looks like we are heading the last final dump weeks imo. But we are still missing the big dump. Since our last big inflows we have detected certain outflows and we have reduced the reserves a bit, but we still have too many tokens remaining and instead of just selling, more
inflows are arriving. So, imo we are not done yet, even if we lift up heading upper 40s, we will dump again afterwards. High leverage futures and a lot of dump ammo still on the table. Bullish looks different. As soon we will dump hard we will rise in volatility. So, no high
leverage folks! It doesn't matter of longs or shorts, but please no high leverage.
Stick to your plan and don't let you guide by price action, influencers or fear! 🙏 Good luck all of you!

🚨🚨 Update: Our hourly whales ratio chart (1) is showing the first time since 12-30-2021 a little dump indicating less incoming whales tokens. Interesting because at the same time we are detecting more incoming tokens as the total netflow (2) is showing bigger
inflows. When we've a low whales ratio but a green netflow that means retailers are capitulating and selling their #BTC in fear. However, we are not done yet.
Since 01-01-2020 the 30d average whales ratio is falling indicating less whales related inflows. At least not constant
inflows from whales detected. Stablecoin reserves on exchanges has stabilized since 01-04-2022 while the stablecoin supply keeps rising indicating a rising demand. The data keeps looking bearish, but better than in december atm.
🚨🚨 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
🚨🚨 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
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
