Our good friends at Darkfost have been dabbling in some on-chain analysis-engaging in that delightful pastime of digging through data like a raccoon rummaging through a trash can. They’ve discovered that while the big fish, or whales as they call them, are sending more Bitcoin to exchanges (a sure sign they might be ready to unload), the total supply held by these aquatic giants has been swimming upstream instead of downstream. Quite the conundrum, wouldn’t you say?

Once upon a time, Solomon treaded cautiously around the cryptocurrency realm, like a cat on a hot tin roof. While he still doesn’t don the cape of a Bitcoin superhero, he grudgingly acknowledged its potential as a store of value, akin to gold for the more adventurous investor. However, our dear Solomon quickly reminded us that Bitcoin’s prices are as stable as a drunken tightrope walker, swinging violently up and down in a whimsical dance.

CryptoQuant’s recent report is a masterclass in gloom, revealing that altcoins are being sold off with the enthusiasm of a man fleeing a funeral. The cumulative Buy/Sell Difference? A staggering -$209 billion, which is about as thrilling as a lecture on tax policy. Last year, this metric was “neutral,” but now it’s a one-way ticket to the abyss, with sellers clearly in the driver’s seat.
