# Whale Dumping

Significant Bitcoin deposits from whales usually indicate whale dumping

There are two ways to check whale deposits on the exchange to see the possibility of whale dumping. If these two indicators say that there are many whales on the exchange, Bitcoin price is likely to be bearish or moving sideways.

## BTC: All Exchanges Inflow Mean (24h MA)

This is the average amount of bitcoin deposited into all exchanges. Our users typically utilize this indicator with a 24-hour moving average (or 144 blocks - 10 minutes for block interval). In the 144-block moving average chart, if this indicator goes over 2 BTC during a surge, Bitcoin whale dumping is likely to happen. If it goes below 2 BTC immediately after the dip, it means victim whales are depositing to exchanges but have not yet sold.

## BTC: Exchange Whale Ratio (72h MA)

The exchange Whale Ratio is the relative size of the top 10 inflow transactions to total inflows. In the bull market, it often stays below 85%. On the other hand, in the bear market or a fake bull for a mass-dumping, it usually stays above 85%.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://userguide.cryptoquant.com/quickstart/6-minute-feature-guide/top-10-presets/whale-dumping.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
