Bitcoinβs surge above the $60,000 zone has triggered an uptick in outflows from centralized exchanges as investors anticipate further bullish momentum.
According to data provided by IntoTheBlock, Bitcoin witnessed $1.29 billion in net outflows from centralized exchanges over the past week. This movement indicates increased accumulation as most on-chain signals appear bullish for the flagship cryptocurrency.
Most of the outflows, around 12,420 BTC, occurred on Sept. 10 when the assetβs price struggled below the $57,000 mark, based on ITB data. Notably, the large holdersβ net flow to exchange net flow ratio shows that Bitcoin holders began profit-taking on Sept. 13 as the price reached $60,000 after falling to a local bottom of $52,600.
Bitcoin experienced a large holder net outflow of 9,180 BTC on the same day, indicating a significant selloff by whales that sent the assetβs price below $60,000.
Expect lower price volatility
However, the trend shifted to accumulation again on Saturday, Sept. 14, with the ratio reaching 0.43%, according to ITB. The large holdersβ net flows bounced back to the positive zone, with 3,240 BTC in net inflows yesterday.
Bitcoin gained 0.2% in the past 24 hours and is trading at $60,100 at the time of writing. The assetβs market cap currently stands at $1.86 trillion. BTCβs daily trading volume, however, decreased by 57%, reaching $13.7 billion.
At this point, lower price volatility is expected for Bitcoin as the price consolidates near the psychological $60,000 zone. However, a decline below $59,000 could trigger a high amount of liquidations, leading to another potential downfall.
