$32B and Climbing — AI Crypto Market Blazes With Multi-Day Gains

After failing to decisively break above the $120,000 level in mid-July, 
Bitcoin (BTC) could face further price corrections as whales continue to 
increase BTC inflows to the Binance crypto exchange. Is Bitcoin Losing Its 
Bullish Momentum? According to a recent CryptoQuant Quicktake post by 
contributor Arab Chain, fresh data from the Binance Whale-to-Exchange Flow 
indicator suggests that BTC may soon experience additional downside pressure.

Drop In Tron USDT Transfers The analyst noted that despite growing retail 
participation in the BTC market, persistently high whale inflows into Binance 
&#8211; combined with a declining Bitcoin price &#8211; signal that the market could be 
entering a technical correction phase. Arab Chain shared the following chart, 
where the purple zone shows that whale inflows to Binance remained 
consistently high throughout July and early August. At the same time, the drop 
in BTC price reflects a distribution pattern, where whales begin unloading BTC 
on exchanges following a sharp rally. Although there were no extreme spikes, 
whale inflows into Binance stayed elevated in the $4 billion to $5 billion 
range, indicating that these large holders are actively moving BTC onto the 
exchange &#8211; often a precursor to major sell-offs. The fact that these inflows 
remain high on Binance despite the drop in BTC price suggests that either 
whales are still selling their holdings on the exchange, or they are waiting 
for a price rebound to exit the market. Similarly, the light blue area in the 
chart shows a notable increase in retail inflows to Binance during late July 
and early August. Historically, such late-stage retail participation often 
marks the final phase of a bullish cycle, providing exit liquidity for whales. 
The analyst concluded: Despite the rise in retail participation, the market 
shows signs of internal weakness, with sustained whale inflows to Binance and 
loss of upward momentum. If this behavior continues, the market may be 
entering a medium-term correction phase. Investors Still Optimistic About BTC 
While signals suggest the current BTC rally may be overextended, some 
investors remain confident, employing strategies like Smart Dollar-Cost 
Averaging (DCA) to accumulate BTC in anticipation of further price gains.

Warns Of Fragility Fellow CryptoQuant analyst Oinonen noted that while the 
recent pullback in BTC price may have raised concerns about further declines, 
the asset’s historical Q4 performance could propel it to a new all-time high 
of $200,000 by the end of 2025. After hitting a recent low around $111,800, 
BTC has recovered part of its losses and is now trading near $116,500. Still, 
some analysts caution investors against “excessive optimism.” At press time, 
BTC was trading at $116,501, up 0.2% over the past 24 hours. Featured image
