CryptoQuant: Surge in BTC and Altcoin exchange deposits may indicate increased market volatility.
According to CryptoQuant, as reported by Odaily Odaily, the inflow of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Altcoin into exchanges has increased significantly recently, a pattern that historically often foreshadows a period of higher volatility in the crypto market. Julio Moreno, Head of Research at CryptoQuant, pointed out that the inflow of nearly 49,000 BTC into exchanges on June 30th is a rare and extreme level. There have only been four similar single-day deposit peaks approaching 50,000 BTC this year, and these peaks are typically followed by significantly amplified price volatility and clear directional price movements. The report argues that at the current inflow level, the market is absorbing a significant amount of Bitcoin that has been transferred to exchanges. Since transfers to exchanges typically imply potential selling pressure, position adjustments, or increased demand for derivatives margin, this could trigger more volatile price movements. CryptoQuant also points out that the inflow of Ethereum and Altcoin into exchanges is also increasing, indicating that the pressure is not limited to Bitcoin but is spreading to the broader crypto asset market. Overall, the surge in exchange deposits may indicate a more significant shift in market direction in the short term.

Analysis: The market lacks new liquidity, and approximately 40% of Altcoin are trading near historical lows.
ChainCatcher reports that CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated that approximately 40% of Altcoin are currently near their all-time lows. Indicators show that these tokens have fallen to within 25% of their all-time lows, reflecting the extreme weakness of the Altcoin market. Darkfost noted that this percentage rose to 45% when Bitcoin fell below $60,000 in late June. Latest data shows this percentage is approximately 39.9%. He also pointed out that the current market environment has changed significantly. CMC statistics show that there are approximately 53.5 million existing cryptocurrencies, with about 60,000 new tokens appearing daily. Without strong incremental liquidity, most cryptocurrencies face the risk of failure.
