Glassnode: CEX bitcoin deposits remain the largest and most persistent source of selling pressure
Glassnode's disclosure data shows that miners have historically been a major source of selling pressure, yet each halving event reduces their supply correlation. Net miner flows over the past 12 months show a general change in weekly total balances of around ± 500 BTC. Net deposits/withdrawals on centralized exchanges and net flows into wallets on the ETF chain typically see large fluctuations of ± 4000 BTC, data analytics results show:
1. Miners' high selling pressure often occurs during periods of price volatility.
After the market hit a new high in March, ETF outflows dominated, mainly led by GBTC products.

Bitcoin deposits on centralized exchanges remain the largest and most persistent source of selling pressure.
