CryptoQuant Analyst: Bitcoin Exchange Outflows Signal Improved Supply, But Neutral Outlook Remains

ChainCatcher report: CryptoQuant analyst CoinNiel stated that, as of October 27 (UTC), Bitcoin exchange outflows suggest an improvement in supply conditions, but the evidence still supports a neutral stance. Exchange flows shifted from a net inflow of 7,278 BTC on October 26 to a net outflow of 12,702 BTC on October 27, with 7-day and 30-day net outflows at 4,633 BTC and 4,048 BTC respectively; however, four of the past seven days recorded net inflows. The funding rate stands at +0.00762%, above the 7-day and 30-day averages, indicating bullish sentiment without overheating; open interest is at $25.67 billion, up 0.56% over 7 days and 0.33% over 30 days. The LTH-SOPR declined from 1.1657 to 1.0124, nearing the breakeven point, but cannot confirm a reduction in selling volume. CoinNiel maintains a neutral outlook until a sustained trend of net exchange outflows emerges; if net outflows continue and funding rates and open interest remain stable, the bullish bias will strengthen, but if net inflows reappear alongside significant increases in both metrics, a reassessment will be necessary. Recent outflows have been largely driven by a single day’s activity, funding rates remain positive, and open interest growth has been modest.
