On-chain data may suggest huge Bitcoin inflows to crypto exchange
Gemini might be the reason behind the recent dip. Huge Bitcoin
Inflows To Crypto Exchange Gemini As pointed out by a CryptoQuant
post, these BTC inflows to Gemini might be the reason for the
current downwards trend in the crypto’s price. The Bitcoin inflow
is an indicator that shows the amount of BTC transferred into
exchange wallets. The opposite metric is called the outflow. The
difference between the inflows and outflows gives the exchange
netflow. When this indicator’s value is positive, it means inflows
are outweighing outflows. While on the otherhand, if the netflow is
negative, it implies more Bitcoin is moving out of exchanges than
in. Now, here is a chart for the BTC Gemini netflow: Gemini

CryptoQuant As the graph shows, the BTC price started moving down
as soon as Gemini started noticing negative spikes in the netflow.
The reason behind the dip is that big inflows mean whales are
sending their coins to the exchange for selling purposes/altcoin
purchasing. Related Reading | S2F Creator Beckons Beginning Of

inflows aren’t the only necessary condition for the price to go
down. There are two other indicators that influence the price,
namely the BTC spot reserves and the stablecoins issued metric. The
spot reserves is the total amount of Bitcoin in wallets of all
exchanges. If the value of this indicator moves up, it means
exchanges across the board are noticing large inflows. On the
contrary, if the spot reserves move down, it means exchanges are
overall observing higher outflows. Looking at the above chart, spot
reserves moving up seems to cause a drop in the price, as expected.

receives large inflows while the spot reserves go down, the price
isn’t negatively affected. Similarly, large amounts of stablecoins
being issued also seems to cause a similar effect. BTC Price At the
time of writing, Bitcoin’s price is around $44k, up 8% in the last
7 days. Over the past month, the cryptocurrency has amassed 34% in
gains. Below is a chart showing the changes in the coin’s value

$47k price mark, Bitcoin seems to be sharply moving downwards. As
explained above, this could be related to the inflows to Gemini.
Some signs still seem to be bullish for the crypto so it’s hard to
say which direction it will go in next. However, if such inflows
continue, there could be a bear market ahead.
