After reaching a new all-time high of $123,000, Bitcoin is showing signs of short-term cooling, driven by on-chain investor behavior. According to Exchange Netflow data, we observed a noticeable spike in inflows toward centralized exchanges, indicating a wave of profit-taking activity by short-term holders and some whales.

This kind of movement typically suggests a local top and could lead to a healthy correction or consolidation in the coming days. It's a classic pattern we've seen after previous parabolic rallies — profits are realized, weak hands exit, and price finds a new base.

However, it’s important to note that despite this inflow spike, the overall momentum remains bullish:

Long-term holders are still sitting tight.

ETF inflows and macro sentiment remain positive.

No significant outflows from institutional wallets.

In summary:

✅ Short-term correction likely due to profit-taking

✅ No major long-term trend reversal

✅ Bullish momentum intact
