In the post on X, the analyst referenced results from the Binance Exchange Inflow — Spent Output Age Bands metric, which tracks the amount of Bitcoin sent to Binance, and the age of these coins being sent out. In this case, transactions from the long-term holders (based on their age) were tracked.
Darkfost explained that the 7-day Moving Average (MA) of these BTC inflows on Binance has seen a rise to 40 BTC per day within just a short period of time. What’s more interesting is that the 7-day MA jumped from around 4 BTC per day to this local high.
When compared to previous levels, a sudden rise to about 40 Bitcoins per day could be significant news for the world’s leading cryptocurrency.
Backed by historical occurrences, the analyst made it clear that increasing inflows of BTC to Binance also point to a potential increase in selling pressure; this is because transfers to exchanges are often associated with selling activity, as they act as mediums for quick sell-offs or profit-taking.
When long-term holders begin moving their holdings to exchanges, they are known to move them in large quantities, and evidently not without intent. Interestingly, the surge in Binance inflows preceded LTH profit taking — an event which ignited the most recent crash seen by the Bitcoin market, and the simultaneous reintegration into market supply of “ancient BTC.”
As of press time, Bitcoin is valued at approximately $107,085, reflecting an almost 2% decline in the past day.
