The price of Bitcoin has been moving mostly sideways over the past week, briefly flirting with the $87,000 level on Thursday, March 20. The latest on-chain data suggests that this choppy market condition might not improve soon, as the premier cryptocurrency might be at risk of downward pressure over the coming weeks. What Does Rising Exchange Whale Ratio Mean For Price?


In a Quicktake post on the CryptoQuant platform, an analyst with the pseudonym EgyHash revealed that the activity of Bitcoin whales on centralized exchanges has been rising in the past few weeks. The on-chain analyst offered insights on how this budding trend could impact the price dynamics of Bitcoin.

This on-chain observation is based on the changes in the “Exchange Whale Ratio” metric, which calculates the ratio between the sum of the top 10 largest transfers into centralized exchanges and the total exchange inflow. For context, the 10 largest exchange inflows are from whale addresses — entities that hold significant influence on the market due to their substantial crypto holdings.


This Exchange Whale Ratio indicator offers insight into the activity of this investor class relative to the other investors in the crypto market. A high value for this metric suggests that the 10 largest exchange inflows are cumulatively larger than the incoming transfers from the rest of the market. Conversely, when the Exchange Whale Ratio is low, it implies that whales contribute a relatively healthy part of funds flowing into centralized exchanges.


According to the Quicktake analyst, the Bitcoin Exchange Whale Ratio has climbed to levels not seen since last year. The chart below shows that this metric has been on the rise since December 2024 before reaching a new high of over 0.6 in the past week — and for the first time since September 2024.

Typically, inflows into centralized exchanges tend to negatively impact the value of the flagship cryptocurrency, as selling is one of the services offered by these platforms. Egyhash noted that the steady rise in the Exchange Whale Ratio could be a bearish signal for the price of Bitcoin, as it indicates that large investors might be pulling out of the market. 


Moreover, whales sending their assets to exchanges can trigger a sell-off cascade, as other investor cohorts often monitor their trades due to their significant market influence. Ultimately, the selling pressure that might result from the rising Exchange Whale Ratio could threaten Bitcoin’s future trajectory.  Bitcoin Price At A Glance
