Typically, users deposit their stablecoins to exchanges when a price upsurge is in the cards. Those stablecoins are used to buy cryptocurrencies.

As the Bitcoin (BTC) price fails to grow, decreasing stablecoin reserves may be interpreted as a sign of purchaser weakness. Thus, every Bitcoin (BTC) sent to an exchange emphasizes the danger of selling pressure.

Meanwhile, other analysts opine that the Bitcoin (BTC) number on exchanges is also shrinking. Thay claim that this trend is dominant as it has been registered for 15 months in a row.

Bullish catalysts needed
