Key Takeaways:
Bitcoin is testing Cryptoquant’s Traders’ Realized Price at $76,800, a resistance level that capped the January 2026 rally. Hourly bitcoin exchange inflows hit 11,000 BTC on April 15, 2026, the highest reading since late December 2025. Cryptoquant data shows daily realized profits near $500M, with the $1B threshold signaling a potential local top ahead. Cryptoquant: Bitcoin Exchange Inflows Hit 11K BTC, Highest Since December 2025The share of large deposits as a percentage of total exchange inflows jumped from below 10% to above 40% within a matter of days, according to Cryptoquant. The speed of that shift points to urgency among large holders to position for distribution as price tests the resistance zone. Historically, readings above 40% large-deposit share have aligned with elevated near-term selling pressure.
The confluence of rising exchange inflows, higher average deposit sizes, and growing large-holder concentration at a historically resistant price level presents a clear set of signals for traders watching near-term direction.
Cryptoquant’s data does not rule out further upside, but the onchain picture as of mid-April 2026 reflects a market where large holders are actively positioning near resistance, and where the cost basis of short-term traders sits just above current prices.
