Bitcoin\u2019s price continues its decline, falling farther from its March all-time high of $109,000. Currently trading below $82,000, the cryptocurrency has experienced a significant 24.6% drop.<\/p>\n
Amid this bearish trend, CryptoQuant contributor EgyHash has highlighted<\/a> a troubling development on Binance that could further pressure Bitcoin\u2019s price.<\/p>\n EgyHash notes that Binance, one of the world\u2019s largest crypto exchanges, is seeing a steady rise in key metrics that indicate growing sell-side activity<\/a>. According to EgyHash, the 7-day moving average of mean coin inflows into Binance is increasing, signaling that investors are making larger, more frequent deposits.<\/p>\n This uptick in inflows often precedes heightened selling activity<\/a>, as it suggests that more coins are becoming available on the exchange\u2019s order books.<\/p>\n Adding to this, the \u201cBitcoin: Exchange Inflow (Top10)\u201d metric\u2014an indicator that tracks the total coin volume of the top ten largest inflow transactions\u2014has reached levels not seen in almost a year. This surge suggests that significant amounts of Bitcoin are being moved onto Binance<\/a>, potentially with the intent to sell.<\/p>\n EgyHash also points out that Binance\u2019s Bitcoin reserves are climbing, returning to levels last observed in November of the previous year. A rise in exchange reserves typically reflects an increase in coins held by the platform, which can signal more selling pressure.<\/p>\n Bearish Signals on Binance?
