## Interpretation <a href="#interpretation" id="interpretation"></a>

### By value itself <a href="#interpretation" id="interpretation"></a>

* **Increase of inflow** to exchanges is mostly a **Bullish** sign
* **Increase of outflow** from exchanges is mostly a **Bearish** sign

Considering the fact that moving coins costs fees, wallets outside from exchange send their coins to the exchanges for two possible reasons.

#### 1) To buy coins - Bullish&#x20;

In the case of inflow to spot exchange, it is highly likely that investors are sending Stablecoins for buying coins.&#x20;

This reason of action mostly leads to the price rise which indicates a bullish sign.

#### 2) To trade in derivatives market - volatility risk

The purpose for sending coins to derivative market wallets indicates that more trades will be happening on the derivative market. This could possibly lead to increased volatility risk as a result of increased trading activity, investors looking to take profits, and/or to rebalance to de-risk their investment portfolios. This type of action has difficulty in deciding the effect on price since coins in the derivative market could be used to open both long/short positions.&#x20;

Instead, it should be interpreted as increased volatility risk.
