Bitcoin (BTC) holders have sent nearly 5,983 BTCs to exchanges during Thursday’s early Asian session. This move opens up the pioneer crypto to more southbound movement after it recently plummeted 10% at the end of August and early September.
Bitcoin whales make a move
In the early Asian session on September 7, nearly 5,983 BTCs were sent to centralized exchanges. This uptick can be spotted on data analytics platform CryptoQuant’s exchange netflow index.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin price trades at $25,798, which makes this inflow worth $155 million.

The $155 million BTC is 1.97% of the 24-hour trading volume of Bitcoin, which currently sits at $7.88 billion, according to crypto data aggregator CoinGecko.
The supply on exchanges has also seen a considerable uptick in the last week. Between September 1 and 7, 12,832 BTC moved to centralized entities, signaling a potential build-up of selling pressure.

Where will Bitcoin price go next?
At the time of writing, Bitcoin price trades around $25,780, with liquidity resting on either side. Considering the spike in exchange reserves and recent inflow, a sweep of the sell-side liquidity resting below $25,280 and $24,581 is likely.
A breakdown of the $25,142 support level would lead to a retest of $24,267, which is another key foothold.

On the other hand, Bitcoin price might squeeze early bears by pushing up to $26,151 and collecting the buy-side liquidity. Any stop-losses placed below the aforementioned level would invalidate the bearish thesis.
A prolonged spike in bullish momentum could open the path for BTC to retest the 200-day Simple Moving Average at $27,576.
