HOW TO USE IT: Big Transactions and News are the main elements which can impact the price direction. When you see Whales (Big crypto investors) making multiple big transactions occurred in a short period of time, this can be a signal of big price correction within the following hours.

1. Hot Wallets Exchange - POSITIVE (+) Transactions - Bearish Signal

• Transfer BITCOIN into exchange’s wallets suggests an intent to sell. Bearish. Usually when you see a green transactions (inflow) to the Exchange Hot Wallet, it means that people want to sell Cryptos.

2. Hot Wallets Exchange - NEGATIVE (-) Transactions - Bullish Signal

• Transfer BITCOIN out of Exchange Hot Wallets suggests an intent to hold. If money is transferred to a Exchange Cold  Wallet this could be a bullish signal. If money is transferred to an other Hot Wallet Exchange, probably this is not going to have a big impact on the price direction.

3. Cold Wallets Exchange - POSITIVE (+) Transactions - Bullish Signal

• Money go back to Exchange Cold Wallets as they are not used by investors. This could be a signal that Whales and investors don't or don't want to sell Cryptos and so Exchanges move them to more secure wallets (Cold wallets = not online wallets).

4. Cold Wallets Exchange - NEGATIVE (-) Transactions - Bearish Signal

• Transfer of BITCOIN out of Exchange Cold Wallets could represent different situations. If Cryptos have been moved to an Exchange Hot Wallet this could suggest that people want to sell. In this case we can look also at Hot Wallets Exchange - POSITIVE (+) Transactions, with a possible Bearish Signal.
• If Bitcoins have been moved to other Exchange Cold Wallets, this doesn’t have a particular impact the the price direction.
