With bullish momentum gaining traction, investors are now shifting into accumulation mode across the market, which has led to a notable withdrawal of the flagship asset from cryptocurrency exchanges.<\/p>\n<h2>Growing Accumulation Drives Bitcoin Off Exchanges<\/h2>\n<p>Currently, a notable shift is unfolding in the supply dynamics of Bitcoin. While <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/change-of-bitcoin-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Bitcoin\u2019s price <\/a>is showing upward momentum following a broader market recovery, investor demand for the leading crypto asset has reportedly been returning beneath the surface.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin continues to flow off cryptocurrency exchanges at an accelerating pace during this brief price rebound. As <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Darkfost_Coc\/status\/2044408063398908157?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">stated <\/a>by Darkfost, a market expert and verified author at the CryptoQuant platform, this has been ongoing for the past two months, during which Bitcoin was withdrawn from exchanges nearly every day.<\/p>\n<p>This consistent withdrawal indicates a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/bitcoin-news\/bitcoin-whales-accumulation-holdings-2-month-high\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">significant wave of accumulation<\/a> as investors are shifting their holdings into long-term storage. When exchange reserves dry up, it implies that the number of coins readily for sale is decreasing, a trend that could often precede upward price movements.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-676587 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Darkfost-3.jpeg?w=640&amp;resize=640%2C360\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Darkfost-3.jpeg?w=4000 4000w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Darkfost-3.jpeg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Darkfost-3.jpeg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Darkfost-3.jpeg?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Darkfost-3.jpeg?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Darkfost-3.jpeg?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Darkfost-3.jpeg?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Darkfost-3.jpeg?w=1140 1140w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Darkfost-3.jpeg?w=3000 3000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/p>\n<p>After his examination of the Bitcoin Exchange Netflow metric, Darkfost found that the monthly average has also turned negative, which is currently positioned at -1,640 BTC. What this simply means is a clear accumulation trend that has been building over the past few months.<\/p>\n<p>Darkfost has highlighted that, in particular, when Bitcoin departs from exchanges like this, it is usually with the goal of retaining the asset for a longer time. In a scenario where this kind of behavior persists, it is no longer about <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-transfer-activity-slumps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">sporadic transfers<\/a> that are sometimes driven by exchanges themselves. Rather, it is a genuine structural trend, which is considered a very positive signal.<\/p>\n<h2>BTC Bear Market Still Present Despite Growing Strength<\/h2>\n<p>As the market recovers slowly, several indicators are starting to point to robust growth for Bitcoin. However, despite these bullish signals, a crypto expert <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/0xAralez\/status\/2044432240365486307?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">claims<\/a> that the broader trend is still indicating that the <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-capital-rotation-trend-shows-rare-signal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">bear market phase <\/a>is not yet over. \u201cMarket is showing strong growth, but bear market is still ongoing,\u201d Aralez stated.<\/p>\n<p>According to the expert, the market is already running final bullish manipulations that will come to an end soon in a strong drop to and below the $60,000 zone. After this, several key upcoming events are expected to take place, shifting the price dynamics.<\/p>\n<p>Below the $60,000 mark, Aralez foresees accumulation in the $45,000 and $55,000 range backed by the formation of a cyclical bottom. A gradual upside is expected from here, as institutional inflows increase. By the end of Spring 2027, the market will approach its previous all-time high and eventually break above it. For now, the <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-bearish-flag-crash\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">market is still bearish<\/a>, and Aralez advises patience, stating that better entry opportunities are coming.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/VebC0ZZz\/\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"2084\" height=\"1636\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a sudden upward move earlier this week, the Bitcoin price appears to be stabilizing near the $74,000 mark as bullish sentiment persists.
