IF YOU'RE BEARISH ON $BTC RIGHT NOW,YOU MIGHT BE MISSING THIS.
lets break this chart down:
> Green bars = BTC moving ONTO exchanges (more supply ready to sell)
> Red bars = BTC moving OFF exchanges (less supply available, often accumulation)
> Line = BTC price
Now the important part…
For weeks, netflow has been mostly red.
Meaning: even while price chops / dips, $BTC keeps leaving exchanges.
That usually implies:
> sellers are getting exhausted
> dips are being absorbed
> big holders prefer custody over “ready-to-dump” positioning
So what does this setup typically lead to?
✅ If outflows stay dominant (red continues):
#Bitcoin usually does one of two things:
forms a base + grinds up slowly
chops violently… then breaks up once liquidity resets
The chart is basically saying: “there’s less immediate sell pressure than people think.”
BUT here’s the trap…
The danger signal isn’t “red bars.”
The danger signal is when this flips hard:
📌 What would be bearish?
If we suddenly get:
multiple big 🟢 green inflow days in a row and price can’t bounce
That usually means:
➡️ coins are being moved to exchanges to sell
➡️ downside liquidity is about to get hunted again
So what to expect next (1–3 weeks):
Base case:
BTC holds a range, stops bleeding, and drifts higher.
Outflows = support under price.
Bear case:
Netflow flips green for several days → likely another sweep lower before the real bounce.
Bull trigger:
Outflows stay red + price starts printing higher lows → odds favor a move back into the prior range.
My prediction:
Not a straight line pump.
More likely:
> choppy basing first
> one more fakeout is possible
> then continuation up IF netflow stays red and inflows don’t spike
things to keep your eyes on:
3–5 straight days of green inflows = caution
steady red outflows + higher lows = bulls taking control
This is how bottoms form.
Quietly.
While everyone’s screaming “it’s over.”
