For analysts and traders alike, increasing exchange deposits—especially whale-sized transfers of 1,000 BTC or more—have always been reliable early warnings of distribution and coming price weakness. These inflows increase the likelihood of a correction or extended consolidation when they line up with prices pushing against significant resistance, as is the case near $76,000. To remain ahead of the trend, market players should pay close attention to on-chain indicators including CoinMarketCap's inflow-outflow differentials, CryptoQuant's exchange netflow data, and Glassnode's seven-day SMA of whale transfers to exchanges. These tools provide the earliest possible indication in the present atmosphere of whether the lately increased supply is just a caution shot or the start of a more serious correction.
