On-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant recently shed light on the second-largest Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) outflow from BitMEX ever, a potentially bullish indicator.

What Happened: The recent outflow of 35,486 BTC, the second-largest outflow in the exchange’s history may be interpreted as bullish since historically, the “Exchange Netflow” indicator on BitMEX has shown a strong correlation with Bitcoin price movements.

Large Bitcoin outflows from BitMEX have often suggested that major investors are withdrawing their holdings, possibly for cold storage or strategic sales on other platforms. This behavior reduces immediate selling pressure on the exchange, potentially stabilizing or even increasing Bitcoin’s price.

Why It Matters: BitMEX has always been a significant point of interest for analysts and enthusiasts due to its influence on the cryptocurrency derivatives market.

When large Bitcoin outflows occur, media attention and social media discussions increase, fueling investor optimism and contributing to upward price movements for Bitcoin. Therefore, the recent outflow is a significant event that should not be ignored.

Bitcoin options traders are expecting a bout of volatility as the apex crypto is trying to digest selling pressure from different entities.
