A notable development is occurring in the cryptocurrency markets regarding selling pressure. According to the latest report published by blockchain analytics company CryptoQuant, there has been a significant slowdown in Bitcoin transfers to centralized exchanges, while the selling trend among large investors continues unabated.

According to company data, on February 6th, as the Bitcoin price dropped to the $60,000 level, the amount of BTC deposited on centralized exchanges rose to approximately 60,000 BTC. However, looking at the average over the last seven days, this figure is said to have fallen to around 23,000 BTC.

The CryptoQuant report stated, “This slowdown indicates that the acute selling wave is easing. Although inflows to exchanges remain high compared to previous months, downward pressure has decreased. Lower exchange inflows mean less selling pressure on prices.”

On the other hand, while total inflows to exchanges decreased, there was a significant shift in the composition of these inflows. CryptoQuant’s “Exchange Whale Ratio” indicator, which measures the ratio of the top 10 transfers to total inflows, reached 0.64, its highest value since 2015.

This ratio reveals that 64% of the total Bitcoin entering exchanges was invested by the top 10 investors. The company stated that this indicates that large investors are more active on the selling side.

CryptoQuant analyst J.A. Maartun, in his assessment in December, described 2025 as a period of “great redistribution.” According to Maartun, Bitcoins held by long-term investors are being transferred in waves to new investors. The analyst defined this process as “great redistribution.”

According to the report, the likelihood of a strong short-term upside in Bitcoin also appears limited. CryptoQuant’s previous analyses had indicated that the asset’s “ultimate bear market bottom is around $55,000.”

EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data

EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data

The post EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/CHF weakens for a second straight session as the euro struggles to recover post-Eurozone inflation data. Eurozone core inflation steady at 2.3%, headline CPI eases to 2.0% in August. SNB maintains a flexible policy outlook ahead of its September 25 decision, with no immediate need for easing. The Euro (EUR) trades under pressure against the Swiss Franc (CHF) on Wednesday, with EUR/CHF extending losses for the second straight session as the common currency struggles to gain traction following Eurozone inflation data. At the time of writing, the cross is trading around 0.9320 during the American session. The latest inflation data from Eurostat showed that Eurozone price growth remained broadly stable in August, reinforcing the European Central Bank’s (ECB) cautious stance on monetary policy. The Core Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), which excludes volatile items such as food and energy, rose 2.3% YoY, in line with both forecasts and the previous month’s reading. On a monthly basis, core inflation increased by 0.3%, unchanged from July, highlighting persistent underlying price pressures in the bloc. Meanwhile, headline inflation eased to 2.0% YoY in August, down from 2.1% in July and slightly below expectations. On a monthly basis, prices rose just 0.1%, missing forecasts for a 0.2% increase and decelerating from July’s 0.2% rise. The inflation release follows last week’s ECB policy decision, where the central bank kept all three key interest rates unchanged and signaled that policy is likely at its terminal level. While officials acknowledged progress in bringing inflation down, they reiterated a cautious, data-dependent approach going forward, emphasizing the need to maintain restrictive conditions for an extended period to ensure price stability. On the Swiss side, disinflation appears to be deepening. The Producer and Import Price Index dropped 0.6% in August, marking a sharp 1.8% annual decline. Broader inflation remains…
