Exchange balances for $BTC keep draining. Historically this preceded major moves. Not financial advice, just sharing the data.

Seeing $BTC consolidate nicely around the $68k-$70k region after the recent leg up. ETF flows remain strong, suggesting underlying demand. A break above $71k could trigger a move towards retesting prior highs.

• Instrument: $BTC/USD
• Direction: Long
• Entry: $71,200
• Stop: $69,800
• Target: $74,500

Glassnode data shows long-term holders accumulating, and UTXO realized price distribution indicates strong hands are not selling into minor dips. Exchange reserves continue to decline. This suggests underlying bullish sentiment even as price consolidates. Could be setting up for another leg higher soon.

With FOMC minutes and CPI data ahead, alongside continued ETF activity, what do you think will be the primary catalyst for $BTC price action?
