- CryptoQuant Exchange Netflow data shows the difference between coins flowing into and out of exchanges. An increase in exchange inflows (a positive value) is mostly bearish, while the increase in outflows from exchanges (negative value) is mostly bullish. In BTC’s case, the netflow shows -45,500 BTC on Monday, indicating that 45,500 BTC were removed from exchanges and stored in the holders’ wallets, suggesting buying activity and reducing selling pressure.

Technical analysis: BTC price could rally if it retests 200-day EMA
Bitcoin price faced a pullback at around the daily resistance level of $65,379 on Sunday, declining 2.2% on Monday. At the time of writing on Tuesday, it continues to retrace down by 0.6% at $62,416.
If BTC continues to retrace, it could find support at the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $62,267.
If BTC bounces off $62,042, it could rise to $65,379 before potentially rallying by 7% to restest its July 29 high of $70,079.
This bounce is supported by indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Awesome Oscillator (AO) on the daily chart, which sit comfortably above their respective mean levels of 50 and zero. These momentum indicators signal indecisiveness among investors.

However, if Bitcoin’s price closes below the August 21 low of $58,783, a 5% decline towards daily support at $56,022 would be on the cards as it would set a lower low on the daily chart. This scenario would invalidate the bullish thesis.
