Bitcoin experienced a sharp price increase yesterday, reaching $74,000. Ethereum also significantly gained, stabilizing above the $2,100 level.

According to the latest data from CryptoQuant, there is a troubling yet encouraging trend: inflows of Bitcoin onto exchanges have significantly decreased, while purchases of the asset are steadily increasing. This shift in market dynamics has far-reaching implications, signaling a gradual easing of the selling pressure on the cryptocurrency market and, consequently, a simultaneous increase in demand.

The reduction in the volume of BTC entering trading platforms serves as a barometer for the decreasing number of coins available for immediate sale. When investors hold their assets off exchanges, it indicates their intention to retain them for the long term, believing in future price increases. This, in turn, reduces liquidity for sellers and limits their ability to exert price pressure.

In parallel, the increased buying activity indicates growing interest in Bitcoin. This heightened demand, combined with limited supply on exchanges, naturally creates conditions for the onset of an upward price trend. Investors likely see the current situation as an opportunity for profitable purchases, anticipating future growth.

Such a combination of factors—decreasing supply and increasing demand—serves as a classic signal of a potential market rally.

As for the intraday strategy in the cryptocurrency market, I will continue to rely on major pullbacks in Bitcoin and Ethereum, anticipating the continuation of a long-term bullish market that has not gone away.

As for short-term trading, the strategy and conditions are described below.
