More Bitcoin holders send holdings to exchanges
Despite the noticeable increase in Bitcoin accumulation by investors, some traders have opted to capitalize on profits.
When AMBCrypto took a closer look at Bitcoin’s exchange flow chart, we noticed that the current week showed greater inflows than outflows.
Particularly, on the 11th of March, during a significant price surge, the dominance of inflow was evident, with over 5,000 BTC entering exchanges.

This prevalence of inflow implied that holders were depositing more Bitcoin onto exchanges than withdrawing, indicating a potential sell-off.
This development was not unexpected, considering the recent substantial rise in Bitcoin’s price.
