Bitcoin (BTC) whales on Binance appear to be reducing their selling pressure, but the potential for increased BTC sales from miners could introduce new downward pressure on the market.

According to CryptoQuant’s community analyst Darkfost, whale activity on Binance, which handles some of the largest Bitcoin trading volumes, is showing signs of decline. 

The exchange whale ratio, a metric that tracks the proportion of the top 10 inflows to the total inflows on an exchange, is decreasing. Elevated values of this ratio typically indicate heightened activity from large holders, often signaling increased selling pressure.

On the other hand, a decreasing exchange whale ratio suggests that whales are not selling as much Bitcoin, which historically has been associated with market stabilization or the beginning of bullish trends. 

If this pattern continues, it could indicate that the recent market correction is nearing its end. This metric has previously acted as a leading indicator of potential trend reversals, making it a key factor to watch in the current market environment.

While whale activity on Binance is slowing, Bitcoin miners may become a new source of selling pressure. CryptoQuant verified author Axel Adler Jr. noted that miners are experiencing conditions similar to those seen after the most recent Bitcoin difficulty adjustment, which often precedes miner capitulation.

Miner capitulation refers to periods when miners are forced to sell Bitcoin to cover operational costs. This typically happens when mining profitability declines due to rising costs or falling prices. 

When miners offload their holdings, additional supply can enter the market, potentially counteracting any reduction in selling pressure from whales.

Historically, miner capitulation has led to significant market movements. The extent miners will sell in the current environment remains uncertain, but their activity will be a key factor in determining Bitcoin’s short-term price trajectory.
