The events of the past week have led to significant sell pressure across the crypto market. Since FTX insolvency rumors broke on Nov. 6, peak outflows saw $270 billion leave the market.

Despite the bearish market conditions, on-chain data analyzed by CryptoSlate showed all Bitcoin ( $78,201.00 ) cohorts have flipped into accumulation mode, with whales buying most aggressively.

Whale Exchange Net Position Change

Exchange Net Position Change shows the 30-day change in the Bitcoin ( $78,201.00 ) supply from exchange wallets. Readings above 0 indicate inflows into exchange wallets, while below 0 show BTC leaving exchange wallets.

The chart below shows this data for whales and super whales. Recent days show exchange whale and super whale holdings have spiked higher. The last time this happened, to a comparable degree of significance, was during August.
