BTC Price Eyes $40,000 Soon as Massive Number of Bitcoins Move Off Exchanges
The world’s largest cryptocurrency Bitcoin (BTC) continues to show strength with the BTC price now trading 2.55% up at $38,678, and is now eyeing a move above $40,000. The bullish indicator comes as centralized exchanges witness a sizeable exodus of coins.
According to Glassnode data, investors have withdrawn over 37,000 BTC, equivalent to $1.4 billion, from exchanges since November 17, indicating a trend of investors opting for direct custody of their coins. This outflow suggests a preference for a long-term holding strategy, possibly influenced by factors such as Binance’s guilty plea.
The inclination toward holding reflects robust demand and reduced sell-side pressure, coinciding with optimism surrounding the anticipated launch of a spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the U.S. Historically, exchange outflows have correlated with local price lows, supporting expectations of a medium-term price increase.

Anticipated interest rate cuts by central banks in the coming months could attract capital to various markets, potentially leading to increased volatility in speculative sectors like cryptocurrencies, according to some market observers.
With the Federal Reserve pausing its rate hiking cycle and other central banks globally following suit, there is speculation that we may have reached the peak of this tightening cycle. To sustain a significant boost in risk assets, a clear trajectory toward lower interest rates and the conclusion of Quantitative Tightening is deemed essential.
As 2024 approaches, there is a possibility of entering a phase with a net positive liquidity outlook for the markets. Bitcoin, acting as a barometer of net liquidity, would require favorable liquidity conditions to substantiate any substantial bullish movements.
