63K BTC Moved to Exchanges as Whales Add 71K, BTC at $76K

On April 14, one-day transfers of profitable bitcoin to exchanges totaled about 63,000 BTC, the highest single-day level recorded so far in 2026 and up from a 44,800 spike on Jan. 14. On the same day, addresses identified as accumulation received more than 71,000 BTC.

On-chain cohort data show the one-day-to-one-week group moved nearly 2,000 BTC back to Binance during the period, indicating recently purchased coins flowed into sell-side liquidity while bitcoin traded near $76,000.

Crypto analyst Amr Taha called the activity the first clear wave of profit-taking after a retest of monthly highs and said it reflected a cooling phase as newer holders secured gains at resistance.

Market analyst CW reported a single-day inflow of over 71,000 BTC into accumulation addresses, the largest bullish inflow since early 2022, and described the transfers as a shift of coins from weaker hands to stronger hands that removed supply from short-term sellers.

Price action stalled near the mid-$70,000s. After forming equal highs near $76,000, bitcoin was rejected at the 100-day exponential moving average-its first test of that trendline since Jan. 14-and slipped to about $73,500. On shorter time frames the uptrend remained, with internal liquidity clustered around $73,000 and $72,000.

A liquidation heatmap showed roughly $1.4 billion in cumulative long liquidations concentrated near $73,000 and about $3.5 billion in long exposure at risk around $70,500. A move toward $80,000 would put roughly $2 billion in leveraged short positions at risk.

Analysts noted the opposing on-chain flows-short-term profit-taking into exchanges and large-holder accumulation-were the dominant trends on April 14.
