When the metric approaches extremely negative readings, the likelihood of a structural bottom increases.<\/p>\n<p>The crypto trader known as Satoxis noted aggressive whale buying. By his analysis, exchange outflows average 3.2% over 30 days. That points to ongoing accumulation as large holders withdraw bitcoin from trading platforms.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/img-c2e1b2600ee4cce5-6372136841468876.webp\" alt=\"image\" class=\"wp-image-275183\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: X\/Satoxis.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWhen big investors move coins at this pace, it reduces the available supply on exchanges, cuts liquidity and creates conditions for a sharp rise once demand recovers.
