On-chain data shows some dormant Bitcoin supply is again moving into exchanges, something that could be bearish for the price of the crypto. Bitcoin Exchange Inflow For Old Coins Has Observed Spikes In Recent Days As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, some coins in the age ranges 2y-3y and 3y-5y have recently been deposited to exchanges. The “exchange inflow” is an indicator that measures the total amount of Bitcoin being transferred into the wallets of all centralized exchanges. When the value of this metric is high, it means investors are depositing large amounts to exchanges right now. Such a trend, when prolonged, can prove to be bearish for the value of the crypto as it can be a sign of dumping from holders. A modified version of this indicator is the exchange inflow “Spent Output Age Bands” (SOAB), which tells us about the individual contribution to the total inflows from the different supply groups in the market.

The relevant age bands here are “2y-3y” and “3y-5y”; the below chart shows the trend in the exchange inflows coming from these supplies: Looks like the value of the metric for these cohorts has been raised in recent days | Source: CryptoQuant As you can see in the above graph, the Bitcoin exchange inflow SOAB has spiked up for these coin groups during the last couple of days or so. This means that some investors have been depositing sizeable amounts of coins aged between 2 to 3 years and those between 3 to 5 years.

In general, the older the coins are, the less probable they are to move at any point. So, any movement from these coins, especially those to exchanges, may have noticeable implications on the price of Bitcoin. BTC Price At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s price floats around $19.1k, up 1% in the last seven days. Over the past month, the crypto has lost 1% in value. The below chart shows the trend in the price of the coin over the last five days. The value of the crypto seems to have rebounded back from the dip a couple of days ago | Source: BTCUSD on TradingView Bitcoin has continued to show stale price movement in the past week as the crypto has been mostly sticking around the $19k level. Two days or so ago BTC did make an attempt to break the monotony by plunging below to $18.7k, but it wasn’t long before the coin was back at $19k.

On-chain data suggests Bitcoin whales who accumulated during the June crash have continued to hold strong so far. Bitcoin Sum Coin Age Distribution Shows Strong Accumulation Around $18k As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, the $18k level has been getting support from the whales as they have made spot purchases at this mark. The relevant indicator here is the “Sum Coin Age Distribution,” which tells us about the amounts the different Bitcoin investor groups are holding in their wallets right now. These groups are based on the idea of “coin age,” a measure of the total number of days a coin has been sitting dormant on the chain for.

Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Sum Coin Age Distribution in the Bitcoin market over the last year: Looks like the 3M to 6M group has been going up in recent weeks | Source: CryptoQuant As you can see in the above graph, the amount of supply held by the different Bitcoin coin age cohorts has shown an interesting pattern during the last few months. When the crypto’s price crashed back in June, the 1D to 1W supply spiked up as whales picked up some fresh coins around the $18k level. As the days passed, these coins started aging into the 1W to 1M range, causing the 1D to 1W band to plunge down, while the 1W to 1M group observed an uptrend.

And finally, in the last couple of months, the 3M-6M cohort has also found itself at the end of this cascading effect. The recent increase in this last group suggests that the Bitcoin whales who bought during the crypto’s decline to $18k have still not realized profits on their coins, and have continued to hold onto them with conviction. BTC Price At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s price floats around $19.2k, up 1% in the last seven days. Over the past month, the crypto has gained 4% in value.

Historical data of an on-chain indicator could suggest Bitcoin may not be in danger of another sharp crash right now. Bitcoin Spot Exchange Depositing Addresses Stay At Very Low Values As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, signs are that another crash similar to Q3 2018 isn’t likely to happen currently. The relevant indicator here is the “spot exchange depositing addresses,” which is a measure of the total number of Bitcoin wallet addresses that are making send transactions to centralized spot exchanges right now. Generally, investors deposit their coins on spot exchanges for selling purposes. Thus, a spike in this metric can be bearish for the price of the crypto as it could be a hint at dumping behavior from a large number of addresses. On the other hand, low values imply not many holders are adding to the selling pressure in the market at the moment. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin spot exchange depositing addresses over the last few years: Looks like the value of the metric has been going down in recent months | Source: CryptoQuant As you can see in the above graph, the quant has marked the relevant zones of trend for the Bitcoin spot exchange depositing addresses. It seems like usually around periods where this indicator has sharply risen up to local tops, the price of BTC has also observed a top and subsequently declined.

Since the bull run top last year, the spot exchange depositing addresses have been overall winding down, seeing only a couple of peaks in the period. Some investors have recently been wondering whether another sharp drawdown is coming for Bitcoin in the near future, just like the one the 2018 bear market saw after months of sideways movement similar to now. Looking at the chart for the trend during the 2017/2018 cycle, it’s apparent that the metric declined following the bull run top and then plateaued at low levels as the bear market went on.

A couple of months or so after this happened, the price observed a crash. As during recent weeks there has been no such sharp increase in the indicator, the analyst believes there is no indication that a decline similar to then would take place now. BTC Price At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s price floats around $18.8k, down 4% in the last week.
