Data: Bitcoin Top 10 Whale Inflows Form Historic Bear Signal

On-chain data shows the top 10 Bitcoin whale inflows are forming a historic bear signal right now, something that could spell trouble for the new rally.

Bitcoin Top 10 Exchange Inflows (Whales) Form A Peak Recently

As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, the BTC top ten exchange inflows have showed a bearish formation recently.

The “all exchanges inflow” is an indicator that measures the total amount of Bitcoin entering wallets of all exchanges during a specific period.

Investors usually deposit their BTC to exchanges for selling purposes. Therefore, any spikes in the metric can be bearish for the price of the crypto.

A modification of this indicator is the “top 10 exchange inflow,” which measures the sum of the ten largest transactions going to centralized exchanges.

As these transfers usually belong to whales, high values of the metric may be a sign of dumping from these massive Bitcoin holders.

On the other hand, low top ten inflow values may suggest that whales are selling a normal amount of coins at the moment.

In the above chart, the quant has marked the important regions of trend for the top ten Bitcoin exchange inflows during this period.

It seems like whenever the indicator has formed a peak, the price of Bitcoin has always taken a hit soon after the trend.

Now, the top ten whale inflows seem to be forming a similar peak again. If the pattern holds true, then this could be a bearish signal for the price of the coin.

However, it’s also worth noting that the metric hasn’t yet formed a full turn yet, so it could still continue to go up or move sideways and the signal won’t go off.

BTC Price

Yesterday, Bitcoin’s price finally gained some strong momentum and broke past the $45k barrier. Now, the price is above $47k, a level that the coin hasn’t visited since the very start of the year.

At the time of writing, the coin is trading around $47.2k, up 15% in the last seven days. Over the past month, the crypto has gained 25% in value.

The below chart shows the trend in the price of BTC over the last five days.

DeFi isn’t dead, it just needs to fix these 3 critical problems

It’s been a rough year for DeFi, and it may not get any better until projects focus more on security, regulation and usability. The persistent challenges  decentralized finance  face have been well documented by a handful of analysts and the recent collapse of the Terra ecosystem re-enforced the fact that something is critically wrong with DeFi. I think DeFi today is completely broken for 99% of the population. The promise of a more transparent financial system has been overtaken by greed.

ENS DAO delegates offer perspective on DAO governance and decentralized identity

AlphaWallet CEO and Spruce co-founder talk about their roles as contributors to the Ethereum Name Service following the project's recent airdrop. Earlier this month, the Ethereum Name Service, or ENS, formed a decentralized autonomous organization, or DAO, for the ENS community.  Cointelegraph spoke to two ENS DAO delegates who applied for the opportunity to represent the community and stay involved in the decision making process: Victor Zhang, CEO of AlphaWallet, an open source Ethereum wallet, and Gregory Rocco, co-founder of Spruce, a decentralized ID and data toolkit for developers. Zhang spoke about his experience as an external contributor to ENS and an early supporter since 2018. Zhang initially sought to help ENS by offering Alpha Wallet as a user-friendly tool for  resolving .eth names and cryptocurrency wallet addresses. Essentially, if a user inputs an .eth name in the AlphaWallet, it will show the wallet address, and vice versa using reverse resolution. Alpha...
