Analyst Insights

CryptoQuant contributor Amr Taha pointed out a simultaneous decline in Bitcoin inflows on Binance and Coinbase from mid-sized investors (those holding between 100 BTC and 1,000 BTC).

"The simultaneous decline is significant because inflows to exchanges are often interpreted as a sign of potential selling or profit-taking. When investors transfer BTC to exchanges, the market typically anticipates possible selling pressure," the expert explained.

Inflows to Binance and Coinbase have dropped to levels last seen in late February, while the Coinbase Prime metric has fallen to early April lows.

This recent decline is viewed as more positive for Bitcoin's short-term outlook, according to Taha.

Technical analyst Axel Adler Jr. noted that Bitcoin is still holding a resistance level at $58,000.

Bitcoin is holding key support at $58K.
But the real problem is elsewhere: fresh capital is not entering the market.
New Investor Flow has turned negative, around -$1.2 billion. Right now, BTC is being held by old hands, not new demand.

However, the expert believes the real issue lies elsewhere—new capital is not entering the market:

"The inflow of new investors has turned negative, around -$1.2 billion. Currently, Bitcoin is in the hands of old investors, not benefiting from new demand."

It is worth noting that QCP Capital stated that the agreement between the U.S. and Iran has reduced risks of issues in the global energy market, yet Bitcoin continues to show weakness due to concerns over further selling from Strategy.
