The “ Exchange Netflow ” here refers to an indicator that keeps track of the net amount of the cryptocurrency that’s entering into or exiting out of the wallets associated with a given centralized exchange. When the value of this metric is positive, it means the investors are depositing a net number of coins to these platforms. As one of the main reasons why holders would transfer to exchanges is for selling-related purposes, this kind of trend can lead to a bearish outcome for the asset. On the other hand, the indicator being negative implies there are more outflows taking place on the exchange than inflows. Such a trend can be a sign that the investors are accumulating , which can be bullish for the coin’s price.
