ETH/BTC OI Flow Ratio (All Exchanges) – ForeDex
Current: 57.68% (Neutral Zone)
• The indicator just completed a strong spike above 80% in early 2025, followed by a deep correction below 40% → now recovering to the 57.68% zone.
• Top chart: BTC price sitting at ~$76k (has not yet reached the 100k dashed line).
Historical Insight: Every time this ratio has broken above 65%, altcoins received strong capital inflow, with ETH/BTC surging. Below 45% → BTC absorbs nearly all liquidity.
Current Market Phase: We are in a critical transition period. If the ratio continues rising and retests 65%+ within the next 2-4 weeks, it will be a key signal to watch.
Conversely, if it drops below 45% → BTC remains the dominant leader.
Closely monitoring this indicator for early market signals.

#Stablecoins (ERC20) Are Reversing Between Spot & Derivative Exchanges

According to @CryptoQuant Quicktake data on the two charts — Spot Exchanges Supply Ratio and Derivative Exchanges Supply Ratio.
These two indicators have shown a clear inverse movement, especially in recent months:
As Spot Ratio rises → more stablecoins are concentrating on spot exchanges.
As Derivative Ratio falls → stablecoins are withdrawing from derivative (futures/perps) exchanges.
Currently, #stablecoin flows are shifting from Derivative to Spot.
The Exchange Supply Ratio reflects the proportion of stablecoins held on exchanges relative to total #erc20 supply, helping observe capital movement between the two types of venues.
Throughout $BTC ’s recent consolidation period, even as leverage increased during price recoveries, the market appears to be leaning toward a more cautious sentiment — with stablecoin flows favoring spot exchanges.

Bitcoin On-Chain Deep Dive: Fund to All Exchange Reserve Ratio
The #bitcoin Fund to All Exchange Reserve Ratio (All Funds Supply ÷ All Exchanges Supply) on CryptoQuant is currently at an all-time high of ~ -0.5.
Meanwhile, BTC price has diverged from the trend and dropped sharply to the ~76-78K USD zone.
This metric measures the ratio of $BTC held by institutional funds (#etf + institutional funds) compared to total reserves across all exchanges. It is a classic sign of strong institutional demand.
One key positive: Supply on exchanges remains tightly controlled → high potential for a #supplyshock once demand returns.
This $BTC on-chain metric will be the main focus to watch in the coming weeks to assess the real health of the Bitcoin cycle.

$ETH Sentiment Update (Binance)
According to the 2 charts on CryptoQuant regarding the derivatives market:
ETH’s Taker Buy Sell Ratio is currently >1 and increasing strongly in Mar-Apr 2026 → Longs are dominating aggressive trading.
Open Interest has increased slightly after the bottom, showing that new leverage is mainly flowing into Long positions.
In the context of ongoing macro instability (persistent inflation, geopolitical tensions, tight liquidity, and higher-for-longer interest rates):
Leverage volume (OI) has only increased modestly and has not exploded → indicating that traders are building positions cautiously, leaning Long but not taking excessive risk.
→ Short-term sentiment is leaning toward Longs, but OI has not yet returned to previous highs → not a strong squeeze yet.

Bitcoin funding rate (30D) on Binance has just fallen into its deepest negative zone in many years.

According to CryptoQuant’s BTC funding rate (30D) indicator, during this recovery phase, it is rare to see this kind of condition within a single cycle (October 2022, June 2021, April 2020). History often shows that when the majority believes “it will keep falling,” the market begins to reset and move against expectations. This is an extremely important psychological threshold — while most people think it will decline further, price may instead recover significantly from this zone.

This is not a guaranteed bottom signal, but it is an extreme sentiment area worth paying attention to. More capital flow indicators should be monitored for further confirmation.

The All Stablecoins (ERC20) Exchange Supply Ratio on Binance is currently holding around the elevated zone of ~0.30+.

This indicates that the amount of stablecoins sitting on the exchange remains large, meaning the market still has capital waiting for opportunities to buy crypto.

However, this is not an absolute bullish signal yet. Stablecoins flowing onto exchanges do not necessarily mean they will be used to buy immediately. Part of the funds may be waiting for a clearer trend, being used as futures/margin collateral, or moving internally.

The current situation is not negative, and even slightly leans positive because liquidity remains abundant. Historically, crises tend to happen when prices fall while stablecoins on exchanges also decline, meaning capital is leaving the market at the same time. But looking at the current situation, capital appears to be taking a safer stance and waiting for a clearer signal.

📊 According to the STRK Token God Mode chart on Nansen, exchange supply risk is increasing.

Over the past 90 days, the amount of STRK held on exchange wallets has risen to 4.72B STRK, up +8.97%.

This suggests that supply is gradually being moved onto exchanges, increasing the risk of selling / profit-taking if price momentum starts to weaken.

Notably, the Smart Money segment has reduced holdings by 27.28%, while STRK price has rallied strongly during the same period.

Price trend remains positive, but based on Nansen data, distribution risk is rising. Exchange Balance should be closely monitored during the next upward moves.

Bitcoin ETF Netflow Showing Positive Momentum

According to the data from Bitcoin Spot ETF Netflow Total on ForeDex, institutional capital flows are showing more positive signals compared to the previous period.

The 30-day moving average of netflow has recovered back into positive territory, indicating that selling pressure/outflows have eased while inflows into ETFs are improving.

However, it is still worth monitoring whether these flows can sustain above current levels before confirming this as a strong institutional accumulation phase.

Taker Buy Dominance is back on Bitcoin Spot Taker CVD (90D).

This suggests that over the past 3 months, active spot buying has started to outweigh active selling.

Buyers are gradually regaining control, spot sell pressure is cooling down, and real demand is improving — not just futures-driven volatility.

Still, this is not an immediate breakout confirmation.

If buying pressure continues, it could support the next leg higher. If not, BTC may remain sideways.

Bitcoin: Exchange Supply Is Shrinking Sharply

cryptoquant_com Exchange Reserve data shows a clear trend: as $BTC price rises, the amount of #Bitcoin held on major exchanges is declining significantly.

The drop in reserves reflects stronger long-term holding behavior from long-term holders, institutions, and whales. With liquid supply on exchanges decreasing → natural selling pressure is lower even as price has risen substantially.

Compared to the 2020–2021 cycle (when price increases often came with rising reserves due to retail FOMO), the current phase reflects a more mature market, influenced by Spot #ETFs and greater awareness of the risks of holding $BTC on exchanges.

$BTC is currently trading at around ~$77.6K, yet reserves continue to decline rather than rebound.

This signals that supply-demand dynamics are tilting toward tighter supply conditions compared to previous cycles.

BTC Market Sentiment

According to CryptoQuant funding rate data across exchanges, rates have been persistently negative, indicating that the crowd is leaning toward SHORT positions, with dominant sentiment being fear + disbelief.

Meanwhile, data shows that long-term holders have almost stopped selling and have accumulated a net 309k $BTC. In other words, retail investors are bearish.

Smart money is re-accumulating. This is a typical structure of a “disbelief rally setup”: when the majority doesn’t believe in the upward move yet, but supply pressure has already started to contract.

BTC is currently in a late correction / early re-accumulation phase — not yet an euphoria top, nor resembling a panic bottom.

Current sentiment is not bullish. But the capital flow structure is less bearish than it appears on the surface. This is the kind of market that easily leaves the majority positioned incorrectly.

#BTC #bitcoin #Onchain

The #Bitcoin supply on #Binance is still sharply decreasing

Based on the Exchange Reserve chart on #Binance from cryptoquant_com
, we can see that the Bitcoin supply on the exchange continues to decrease significantly, while demand is increasing, which could lead to a price increase trend after the market has bottomed out.

👉 When the supply decreases at market bottom levels, this could be due to investors holding onto Bitcoin instead of selling and transferring it to personal wallets for storage, making the market more scarce, even though $BTC is inherently scarce. This often leads to a sharp price increase in the next bullish cycles.

🔑 The relationship between #supply and price shows that when supply is constrained, higher demand drives up the value of $BTC .

NRPL (Net Realized Profit/Loss) – What is this indicator telling us about the market?

NRPL measures the net value between realized profits and losses on-chain.

- Large positive spikes often appear near short-term tops → periods of strong profit-taking
- Deep negative spikes usually coincide with stress or bottom zones → signs of capitulation / panic selling

Recently, NRPL has been contracting around a neutral zone after a period of strong negative volatility, which often signals a region near the bottom.

NRPL is not used to “predict price,” but to understand who is under pressure — those in profit or those in loss.
When combined with price structure and liquidity, this metric provides clearer insight into whether the market is in accumulation or distribution.

Liquidity on Binance is making a comeback.

Two on-chain charts from CryptoQuant signal something:

- The number of stablecoin (ERC20) deposits to Binance has recently experienced a strong surge, at one point reaching nearly 85,000 transactions per day – the highest level in several months.
- The total stablecoin reserves on Binance have steadily increased to $47.7 billion, showing signs of recovery after a prolonged decline.

This indicates:

- Capital is flowing back into major exchanges.
- When more stablecoins are deposited into Binance, it typically reflects that investors and traders are preparing to take long positions. This is not just random money flow – actual liquidity is being added.
- After a long period of sideways movement, the simultaneous increase in both deposit transactions and stablecoin reserves is one of the most reliable on-chain signals that new capital is entering the market.
- Will this capital flow be strong enough to push the market into a new acceleration phase?
- Monitor spot volume and on-chain data closely in the coming weeks.

Margin Borrow Interest Rate (Binance)

The current margin borrowing interest rate for $BTC is only ~0.008% — an extremely low level compared to the peak of nearly 0.18% in 2024-2025. $BTC is currently trading around 75.27k.

- US inflation is projected to rise to 3.3% (March 2026), primarily due to sharply increased energy prices stemming from Middle East tensions and the Strait of Hormuz conflict.

- The Fed is keeping interest rates at 3.5-3.75%, with expectations of only limited cuts this year.

Low margin interest rates indicate limited market leverage, reflecting cautious sentiment amidst a macroeconomic environment that hasn't truly eased.

🚨 AAVE CRISIS: Exchange Reserve Soar as Token Drops to Around $91

cryptoquant chart shows a sharp increase in $AAVE spot trading reserves — clearly due to distribution and selling pressure from holders.

This is caused by the $292 million Kelp DAO rsETH cyberattack that created massive bad debt ($200 million) on Aave V3, pushing the utilization rate to 100% and triggering a massive $6.6 billion outflow.

$AAVE remains the largest lender in DeFi, but this liquidity shortage is exposing real weaknesses.

Caution if you are at risk.

🚨 $RAVE (RaveDAO) Update – Classic Pump & Dump Case

Last week, $RAVE exploded ~4,500%, skyrocketing from under $0.30 to nearly $28. Many people FOMO’d in.

However, on-chain data showed clear red flags:

- Top 100 wallets control 97% of the total supply (extremely risky)
- Tens of millions of RAVE tokens were transferred in bulk from Bitget Deposit to Main Wallet in just 1-2 days (see attached images)
- On-chain investigator zachxbt exposed suspicions of insider manipulation

Result: The price has crashed over 95%, now trading around $1.20.

This is a textbook example of how a token heavily controlled by whales can be pumped hard and then dumped, leaving retail investors as exit liquidity.

Two notable positions from this whale wallet on HyperliquidX

The short position on $BTC has yielded significant profits, indicating good timing and clear macroeconomic analysis.

However, the short position on $HYPE is incurring heavy losses, meaning this trader is either trading early, expanding into a broader argument, or still expecting a major reversal from here.

Donald J. Trump has posted a statement saying that Iran has announced the Strait of Hormuz is fully open and ready for normal passage.

If this is officially confirmed, it could be a major development for regional stability, global shipping, and energy markets, as the Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world’s most important maritime routes.

Bitcoin: Exchange Whale Ratio - All Exchanges

The chart from cryptoquant shows the relationship between the price of Bitcoin and the Exchange Whale Ratio (the ratio of the top 10 inflows compared to the total inflow into exchanges).

Currently, the price of $BTC is around 74.7K USD, while the Whale Ratio has significantly increased compared to previous levels.

A high ratio indicates that whales are making up a larger portion of the total inflow into exchanges. On the other hand, a lower ratio typically reflects activity mainly from retail investors.

Historical data shows that sharp increases in the Whale Ratio often occur during significant price fluctuations of #Bitcoin
