Just witnessed a significant shift—170,000 BTC (approximately $15.5 billion) exited major exchanges in a short timeframe.
Here's what matters: these coins aren't hitting the market. They're moving into cold wallets and self-custody solutions.
When you see this kind of supply drain, it typically reflects accumulation behavior rather than distribution. Holders are taking their BTC off the order books, which tightens available sell-side liquidity considerably.
This pattern has historically preceded upside moves. Less coins available for sale usually means fewer natural sellers stepping in at current levels. Watch how the market responds when supply gets this tight.

1.7 million BTC fleeing? Something big is about to happen now
Cold wallets are aggressively accumulating, indicating that major players have already seen through
Really, every time this happens, it signals a takeoff

ngl the supply squeeze narrative is lowkey the meta-text of our entire asset class... what happens when scarcity becomes the only proof point left? 🤔

170,000 BTC coming out? The whales are about to make their big move. With such a tight supply, a explosion is inevitable.

170,000 tokens released is really a big move, but don't get too excited yet - let's see how it develops next
The "mouse warehouse" is still truly accumulating; we'll find out the next step
With so many in the cold wallet, either big players are hoarding, or... what are you all waiting for?

170,000 coins have exited the market, and the chips are truly locked in. It seems that the big players are determined to accumulate.

1.7 million tokens have been released this time, and it's really different now. Major investors are stocking up.
Are you optimistic or pessimistic? The key is whether this wave can truly lead to a supply shortage.
So many funds have been transferred to cold wallets. Are retail investors about to get cut again?
History always repeats itself. In the face of tight supply, prices will speak.
If this rebound fails again this time, you better remember it well.

17 million BTC leaving the market? Haha, that's nothing. I've already withdrawn all of it to my cold wallet, just waiting to watch the show.
