Bitcoin sellers 'dry up' as weekly exchange inflows near 2-year low
Bitcoin () faces a new “consolidation zone” as exchange inflows tag multiyear lows, new analysis says.
In an April 1 , Axel Adler Jr., a contributor to onchain analytics platform CryptoQuant, declared that Bitcoin sellers had “dried up.”
Average exchange inflows down 64% since November
Bitcoin sell-side pressure has eased considerably since its first push above the $100,000 mark in late 2024, data shows.
Analyzing BTC inflows to major crypto exchanges, Adler revealed a sharp drop in the seven-day average total sent for sale.
“The average selling pressure on top exchanges has dropped from 81K to 29K BTC per day,” he said alongside a CryptoQuant chart.
“Welcome to the zone of asymmetric demand.”

On March 23, seven-day average inflows hit their lowest levels since May 2023, when BTC/USD traded at less than $30,000.
Given that current prices are almost three times that amount, Adler sees the potential for light at the end of the tunnel for a 2025 Bitcoin bull market correction.
“The market has successfully absorbed waves of profit-taking following the break above $100K,” he concluded.
“Sellers have dried up, and buyers seem comfortable with current price levels - setting the stage for a structural supply shortage. April-May could turn into a consolidation zone - a calm before the next impulse.”
