ChainCatcher message, according to CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost, in December, the inflow of Bitcoin from Binance whales dropped from approximately $7.88 billion to $3.86 billion, halving in just a few weeks. This sharp contraction indicates that the largest holders are significantly slowing down their deposits of BTC into Binance, which is an important signal given their strong influence on market dynamics.

Darkfost believes that when influential participants like whales see a decrease in inflows on the platform, it typically means their selling pressure is also decreasing. In other words, the reduction in deposited BTC mechanically implies that short-term selling will decrease, which is a relatively positive signal for short-term market balance.
