On-chain metrics: Signal or Noise in current BTC volatility?
Been looking at the recent BTC moves, and it feels like the on-chain metrics, while informative in a macro sense, are just getting drowned out by the short-term price action and broader market sentiment. We've seen significant net outflows from exchanges, which should be bullish, yet we're still wrestling with these resistance levels. Even with the institutional narrative stronger than ever, and a token like $HKD seeing a +3.01% day, it makes me wonder if the on-chain data is more of a lagging indicator right now.
Anyone else feeling like the on-chain deep dive is less actionable in this environment? Or am I missing something crucial in how to interpret it amidst the current volatility? Push back if you think I'm off base.

I hear you on that. It's tough to reconcile those bullish on-chain signals with the current price action, almost like the market's got its own agenda sometimes. Do you think institutional movements are just slower to impact short-term volatility than retail reactions?
