Bitcoin Bearish Signal: Exchange Whale Ratio Spikes Up

On-chain data shows the Bitcoin exchange whale ratio has spiked up recently, a signal that shows dumping may be going on in the market. Bitcoin Exchange Whale Ratio Surges Up As Price Declines As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, the BTC exchange whale ratio has risen to very high values recently. The “exchange whale ratio” is an indicator that measures the ratio between the sum of the top 10 transactions to exchanges and the total amount of Bitcoin moving into exchanges. In simpler terms, this metric tells us what part of the total exchange inflows the ten largest transactions make up for. Usually, these large transactions belong to the whales. So if the value of the indicator becomes high, we can tell that whales are sending large amounts to exchanges as they now make up for a bigger part of the total inflows. Such a trend can prove to be bearish for the price of Bitcoin as it may show that whale dumping is going on currently. On the other hand, if the ratio goes down, it means a healthier balance is returning the market as whales control a lesser part of the exchange transactions.
