OKEx also shows a positive on-chain BTC transaction volume with $95 million going into the exchange and $50 million going out. The popular Bitcoin margin trading exchange, BitMEX, is also in the green with $33 million in and $17 million out. At the same time, Bitfinex is almost at break-even with $51M in and $50M out.

The rest of the monitored exchanges are in the negative. Binance’s ratio is $90M to $107M, Bitstamp – $28M in and $32M out, Poloniex – $6M/$7M, and Kraken – $32 M has landed in, while $44 M has been withdrawn.

Interestingly enough, Huobi’s positive ratio has continued over the last seven days, as well. TokenAnalyst’s website indicates that almost $500 M has gone in the exchange during this period, while $332 has been taken out.

Correlation With Bitcoin’s Price?

As the cryptocurrency community saw yesterday, Bitcoin and most of the market, went through a noteworthy price surge. In the past, some people have tried to establish a conclusive correlation between a severe price movement and the 24h Bitcoin flows.

BitMEX, in particular, has been brought up when it had huge inflows, and the price of Bitcoin consequently dropped.

However, the motion, in this case, it the exact opposite. Still, the community began speculating if this was a possible reason behind the unusually high volatility. It’s also worth showing another plausible argument in this manner. As Cryptopotato reported, 124946 BTC were transferred yesterday, which equals to 0.7% of all mined bitcoins. Such a transaction could also have an impact on the price, as its value in USD exceeds $1.08 billion.
