Bitcoin seller pressure is easing: BTC is leaving exchanges, while stablecoins are accumulating
The Bitcoin (BTC) market is showing clear signs of weakening selling pressure. An analysis of on-chain data conducted by leading experts indicates that investors are changing their behavior: the volume of coins being sent to exchanges for potential sale is decreasing, while stablecoin reserves are conversely increasing. This forms a foundation for a potential price recovery, which is currently holding around the $62,000 mark.
Average Investors Stop Sending Coins to Exchanges
One of the key signals is the synchronized decline in Bitcoin inflows from medium-sized investors to major trading platforms. On June 19, the volume of inflows from this group simultaneously dropped on Binance, Coinbase, and Coinbase Prime. While on Binance the figure was around 3,500 BTC, and on Coinbase nearly 3,000 BTC, on Coinbase Prime it decreased to approximately 1,700 BTC, approaching the lows recorded in early April.
This dynamic is extremely important. Transferring coins to exchanges is traditionally seen as preparation for a sale or profit-taking. A decline in this indicator across multiple platforms simultaneously suggests that this group of market participants is not inclined towards large-scale sell-offs in the near future. This reduces the risk of a sharp crash and creates more favorable conditions for holding the price near current levels.
Global Accumulation vs. US Caution
An additional picture is painted by the analysis of flows on Binance. Over the past seven days, the exchange has recorded a steady outflow of Bitcoin, with an average daily volume exceeding 1,200 BTC. The peak value was recorded on June 15, when 5,239 BTC were withdrawn from the platform at once.
Simultaneously, the inflow of stablecoins to the same exchange has sharply increased, reaching an average of $154 million per day. This combination—BTC leaving exchanges for cold storage and the accumulation of free liquidity in stablecoins—is a classic bullish signal. The supply of coins available for immediate sale is shrinking, while the "powder" for purchases remains dry.
However, it is worth noting that the situation is different in the US market. The Coinbase Premium Index, which compares the price of BTC on this platform with global exchanges, is consistently in negative territory. This indicates that US investors are more cautious and inclined to sell on the spot market. The derivatives market is also frozen in indecision: funding rates have dropped to zero.
Analyst's Conclusion
Despite the differences in approaches, both studies agree on the main point: the primary source of potential sales is gradually drying up. Global market participants are withdrawing Bitcoin from exchanges, preparing for long-term holding. Nevertheless, for a confident trend reversal and the start of a new rally, fresh demand is needed, primarily from institutional players in the US. Until the Coinbase Premium Index turns positive, the growth potential may remain unrealized.
