Value dropping to zero means major shareholders are selling.

No on-chain proof of $USDC bank run found for now. 1/

Circle has burned $2.34B $USDC in the last 24 hours, but that's not a significant amount of money if you see the historical data.

Time flies faster as we age.

Probably the perceived progress of life as a whole will be proportional to the sum of a harmonic sequence.

At 31, my brain sees my life as 77% complete. Time to make the most of each moment. Image For example, at 1 year old, a year is 100% of your life. At 2 years old, it's 50%. At 3 years old, it's 33.3%.

A formula based on harmonic numbers shows that at 100 years old, we've only lived 5 years in terms of perceived time.

Like actual vs perceived temperature.

#Bitcoin entered into the early bull phase.

cryptoquant.com/dashboard/63c8… Most investors are still underwater if you see on-chain PnL-related indicators like MVRV.

No one would want to sell here at a significant loss.

If someone sells a lot, it's highly likely forced & unwanted selling due to bankruptcy, government-seized coins, etc.

$BTC miner capitulation might play out differently this time.

Less likely, but it could be bullish if someone(s) acquires US-based #Bitcoin mining companies and their crypto holdings at a significant discount this year.

Thread 🧵 1/
$BTC hash rate hit an all-time high again. Why?

U.S. miners are running mining rigs at full capacity to repay the financing debt owed on equipment it was leasing.

Foundry USA pool took 42% of the total hash rate for the last 24 hours, the largest dominance since 2014.

FUN FACT: Government of China🇨🇳 is a crypto whale.

Chinese authorities seized 194k BTC, 833k ETH, and others from the PlusToken scam in 2019. They forfeited these $6 billion-worth assets to the national treasury.

FWIW, MicroStrategy has 130k $BTC. twitter.com/i/web/status/1… PlusToken-related MFers who used the same mixer are still sending $BTC to exchanges, for example, 50 BTC a week ago.

Stablecoin is leading the institutional crypto adoption.

TradFis just passed the #Bitcoin hurdle. And now they're investing in stablecoin reserves. I think we'll see some Defi investments in the next few months.

Thread 👇 1/ Fed Chair Powell said CBDC and Stablecoins can coexist.

Using more USD stablecoins globally can be helpful to strengthen the dollar's supremacy just like petrodollars.

Lessons From My 4-year of On-chain Data Analysis

Thread 👇 1/

The problem with on-chain data is noise.

You can get insights from aggregated on-chain data, but you should take a look at the transaction level to speculate things like who moved tokens, why now, etc.

Most of the time, it's pretty obvious if you have address labels.

Q. Are institutional investors selling #Bitcoin?

A. They're buying $BTC via market makers right now.

Here's what happened last week 👇 2022-05-07 (Sat)

The market makers, who use @Gemini, sent ~84k BTC to @Binance from May 7th to May 10th, hitting an all-time high.

If you are not an insider, keep your eyes on data to see how front-runners behave:

1/ $1.6B-worth $BTC buying in 5 mins
2/ $186B-worth $BTC moved on the network (not from exchanges, highly likely OTC deals)
3/ #Bitcoin futures premium on CME surges

Fit puzzle pieces together. 1/ 1.6B-worth $BTC buying in 5 mins.

Whales started depositing $BTC to exchanges when the price was $50k.

Tbh, I was super bullish before Elon's tweets, and then this shit happened after his tweet. Can't blame him, but it seems like a butterfly effect.

Until this indicator cools off, I'll keep my bearish bias. About this indicator 👉dataguide.cryptoquant.com/quick-start/wh…

How to buy $BTC at the global bottoms:

1. $BTC drops hard over -30%
2. All Exchange Inflow Mean (MA7) spikes over 2.5 BTC
3. The indicator cools down
4. ALL-IN $BTC
5. Become a billionaire and give a tip to @cryptoquant_com

Fund Flow Ratio for all exchanges is still very low like 7%, meaning 93% of transaction volume on the $BTC network happened outside of the exchanges.

This ratio was 16% a day before the great sell-off in March 2020.

This 18k $BTC deposit is legit as it was a transaction between user deposit wallets and Gemini hot wallet.

All Exchanges Inflow Mean is skyrocketed due to this deposit. Don't overleverage if you're in a long position.

Chart 👉 cryptoquant.com/overview/full/… Last time we got a big flow on Gemini

I have specific alerts setup on @cryptoquant_com to see $BTC buying pressure alerts:

1. BTC Stablecoins Ratio USD < 15
2. All Stablecoins Transaction Count Inflow for All Exchanges > 100
3. Taker Sell Volume > 250000000 (250M)

Set alerts 👉 cryptoquant.com/alert 1/ BTC Stablecoin Ratio USD

It's BTC holdings in USD divided by all stablecoins holdings across all exchanges which indicate on-chain selling pressure. I think below 15 implies significantly low selling pressure.

Taker Sell Volume for all derivative exchanges looks helpful to catch the local bottoms.

After a dip, $BTC price looks likely to bounce back in the short term when the volume goes above 150M USD.

Not fully back-tested, just eye-catching tho.

Chart 👉 cryptoquant.com/overview/full/… Image If you set an alert on this, 150M looks significant threshold. (150000000 USD) It's a minute time frame. Image

We never know the OTC transaction volume under the hood by institutional investors, but there are on-chain indicators to estimate OTC deals.

And based on these indicators, large OTC deals are still going on. Potentially that institutions are continuing to buy BTC.

Thread 👇 1/ Coinbase BTC outflows
It seems massive Coinbase BTC outflow usually goes to their new cold wallet for custody that held 6000-8000 BTC. If Coinbase moves a significant amount of Bitcoins to other cold wallets, it would indicate OTC deals.

Shorted on $BTC at $20,807.

I'm expecting a correction in a couple of hours. 1/ Whales have been active on exchanges since $19k — High Exchange Whale Ratio and Exchange Inflow Mean.

2/ I think Asian-selling would start tmr morning. There have been significant inflows to Asian exchanges.

3/ Buying power looks dried up (Fewer stablecoin deposits)
