According to on-chain data, around 200,000 BTC worth $3.4 billion and more than 1 million ETH left various centralized cryptocurrency trading platforms, which makes it the biggest migration of funds from CEXes since 2021. Such a tendency is an indicator of a number of things.

First, the decreasing amount of assets on exchanges quite often correlates with a descending trend in open interest and overall selling pressure on the market. Once traders move their funds away from the open market, they tend to hold them longer in comparison to those investors who store their funds on exchanges' wallets.

If the trend prevails, the selling pressure we witnessed back in November will descend, along with the volatility. The outflow of funds from exchanges usually heralds an accumulation stage, which comes right before the overall recovery of the market.
