Bitcoin has declined below $22,000 in the past day as on-chain data shows deposits have risen on the crypto exchange Coinbase.<\/p>\n
As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post<\/a>, the exchange reserves have been going up recently. The “exchange reserve<\/a>” is an indicator that measures the total amount of Bitcoin currently being stored in the wallets of a centralized exchange (or a group of them).<\/p>\n When the value of this metric goes up, it means investors are depositing their coins to the exchange right now. If the platform in question is a spot exchange, then the reserve showing this trend could be bearish for the price of the crypto, as investors usually use spot exchanges for selling purposes.<\/p>\n On the other hand, a decreasing reserve can imply holders are withdrawing their coins from the exchange currently. Generally, holders take out their coins to cold wallets for holding onto them for extended periods. Thus, such a trend can be bullish for the price in the long term, as it means a reduction in selling pressure for the asset.<\/p>\n Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin exchange reserve specifically for Coinbase<\/a> and Binance, as well as that for all spot and derivative exchanges, over the last couple of weeks:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The quant posted the above chart yesterday and it seems like at that time, Coinbase’s Bitcoin exchange reserve had seen a sharp rise. Binance’s reserve had also seen a small increase, but it was much less in scale compared to the inflows Coinbase observed.<\/p>\nThe different versions of the exchange reserve metric | Source: CryptoQuant<\/a><\/pre>\n
