# Miner Selling

## BTC: All Miners to All Exchanges Flows Transactions Count

This indicator helps to see how frequently all miners transfer Bitcoin to all exchanges. Miners periodically send a certain amount of Bitcoin to the exchange from their mining wallets. If they send Bitcoin to exchanges more frequently, the price will likely be bearish as they are likely to sell additional bitcoin on the exchange, not through the OTC market.

## BTC: All Miners' Outflows

This indicator is the total transferred amount from mining wallets that have received Bitcoin block rewards. Miners periodically send Bitcoin to other wallets, but if the price is unusually high, they will sell bitcoin in over-the-counter (OTC) market or exchanges. Significant miner outflow is a bearish signal.

## BTC: Miners' Position Index (MPI; 30-day MA)

MPI is all miners' outflow divided by its one-year moving average. If miners withdraw an unusually large amount of Bitcoins compared to the past year, the MPI increases, and the Bitcoin price is likely to be bearish. If you draw lines when MPI is higher than 2.5, it often matches both local and all-time-highs. On the other hand, if the MPI is low, miners hold Bitcoin, meaning it's likely to be bullish. They were HODLers in the 2018 and 2020 great sell-offs though.
