CryptoOnchain <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptoquant.com\/quicktake\/69f3129ee2872616b411bdfa-Binance-Exchange-Whale-Ratio-100-SMA-Hits-ATH-Heavy-Distribution-Warning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">said<\/a> the 100-day simple moving average of Bitcoin\u2019s Exchange Whale Ratio on Binance hit 0.494. The reading marks an all-time high for the metric.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>The Exchange Whale Ratio tracks the top 10 exchange inflows compared with total exchange inflows. A higher reading shows that large wallets are making up a bigger share of deposits.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Whale deposits signal selling pressure<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The analyst said the record reading points to a long period of heavy whale deposits on Binance. These inflows may reflect selling, margin use, or other large exchange activity.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin fell from a peak of $127,000 in October to $63,000 in February. It later recovered to around $76,000 by late April, but the elevated whale ratio remains a warning sign.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Market analyst Ali Martinez <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/alicharts\/status\/2049437034708959654?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">pointed<\/a> that Bitcoin is testing its Short-Term Holder Realized Price near $79,300. This level shows the average cost basis of investors who bought BTC in the past 155 days.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin traded near $76,086 at the time of reporting, below that level. Ali said bulls need a sustained close above the $80,000 area to shift the structure.<\/p>\n<p>A rejection could trigger selling from short-term holders trying to exit near break-even. He said such a move may open a retest of the macro floor near $65,000.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fed policy adds liquidity pressure<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>XWIN Japan <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptoquant.com\/quicktake\/69f27985e2872616b411bd2f-Policy-Credibility-Risk-and-Bitcoin-%E2%80%94-The-New-Dominant-Driver-After-the-FOMC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">said<\/a> Bitcoin also faces pressure from policy and liquidity conditions after the latest FOMC meeting. The Fed held rates, but its language showed inflation remains a concern.<\/p>\n<p>Jerome Powell also addressed central bank independence, saying \u201ccentral bank independence separates successful countries from unsuccessful ones.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>XWIN Japan said higher long-term yields, a stronger dollar, and delayed rate cuts could limit Bitcoin upside. The analyst added that Bitcoin needs fresh capital through ETF inflows or stablecoin growth to support a stronger rally.<\/p>\n<p>According to crypto.news data, Bitcoin\u2019s market cap stood near $1.52 trillion, with 20 million BTC in circulation. The asset was down 1.24% in 24 hours and 2.50% over the past week.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer\">\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__icon\">\n            <svg class=\"icon icon-info\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon-info\"><\/use> <\/svg>        <\/div>\n<p class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__content\">\n            Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice.
