Everyone’s Bullish Again... But I’m Watching This Quiet Sell Signal (Part 3)

Preparing my exit while everyone else is still celebrating.

Let me say this loud and clear:

Everyone’s bullish again.
Bitcoin is back at $104K.
Feels like price discovery is next.

Green candles are flying.
Altcoins are catching bids.
Crypto Twitter is posting laser eyes again.

But me?

I’m not chasing this pump.

I’m doing what I’ve always done:
Preparing my exit while everyone else is still celebrating.

Same thing I did in the last cycle.
Same thing I’ll do again this time.

Because while most of the market is focused on price...

I’m focused on behavior.

And one metric I use — that almost no one is watching right now — is quietly flashing a sell signal.

Let’s break it down.

📊 The Metric: “Bitcoin Exchange Reserve”

This indicator tracks how much BTC is currently sitting on centralized exchanges.

Why does that matter?

Because BTC sitting on an exchange = BTC that can be sold at any time.

If whales or large holders want to dump?
They can’t do it from cold wallets.
They have to move it to exchanges first.

So, what do we watch for?

🔁 How to Read Exchange Reserve Like a Pro

  • Falling reserves = coins moving off exchanges
    → Bullish (people want to HODL, not sell)

  • Rising reserves = coins moving onto exchanges
    → Bearish (people are prepping to sell)

Think of it like a pressure gauge.

If reserves are draining → pressure is low
If reserves are spiking → pressure is building

🚨 What’s Happening Right Now?

Right now, BTC is sitting near $104,000.

And the “Exchange Reserve” metric?

It’s been declining for months…

Until this week.

It just ticked higher for the first time in a while.

Not enough to trigger panic.

But enough to raise eyebrows. 👀

Because when reserves start rising after months of downtrend?

That’s your first whisper of distribution.

Not a scream. Not a headline.

A whisper.

And smart money hears it loud and clear.

They start scaling out quietly.
They sell into strength.
They rotate into stables.
They prep their next move while everyone else is still tweeting “$150K is inevitable.”

🧠 So What Do You Do With This?

You don’t panic.
You don’t nuke your bags.

But you pay attention.

You:

  • Start watching reserves daily

  • Look for continuation in this trend

  • Prepare your exit strategy BEFORE headlines confirm it

  • Watch volume. Watch price structure. Watch behavior.

Because if reserves keep climbing over the next few weeks?

That’s your early warning.

That’s when you don’t FOMO into pumps.
You rotate. You protect capital.
You exit clean before the flush.

This is how I exited in 2021 while others held into a -60% crash.

It wasn’t luck.
It was metrics.
