BTC near $88K; on-chain activity, inflows at yearly lows now

Bitcoin range-bound near $88,000 as on-chain activity and exchange inflows hit yearly lows; liquidity clusters at $85,800–$86,500 and $90,600–$92,000.

  • Bitcoin trades near $85,000–$90,000 with network activity at yearly lows.
  • 30-day active addresses fell to about 807,000, signaling reduced participation.
  • Coinbase seven-day inflows fell ~63% to $7.8 billion; Binance inflows fell to $10.3 billion by Dec. 21.
  • Defined liquidity zones sit at $85,800–$86,500 (long liquidation risk) and $90,600–$92,000 (short liquidation risk).

Data shows Bitcoin traded near $88,000 in late December while onchain activity and exchange flows dropped, limiting sustained moves above $90,000. According to CryptoQuant, the market entered a low-participation phase.

The 30-day moving average of active addresses fell to roughly 807,000, the lowest in the past year. Deposit and withdrawal address counts on Binance also dropped to annual lows, matching the broader slowdown.

Lower deposit activity suggests long-term holders are not rushing to sell, which keeps sell-side pressure contained. Reduced withdrawals indicate accumulation by aggressive buyers has paused.

Exchange inflow values show a sharp liquidity contraction. On Nov. 24, seven-day cumulative inflows reached about $21 billion on Coinbase and $15.3 billion on Binance. By Dec. 21, Coinbase inflows fell nearly 63% to $7.8 billion, while Binance inflows declined to $10.3 billion.

Price stayed range-bound between $85,000 and $90,000 and below the monthly volume-weighted average price (VWAP). VWAP is a price measure that reflects the average price weighted by trading volume over a period. See the four-hour chart on TradingView.

Liquidity clusters point to two key fair-value gaps (FVGs). An FVG is a price gap where orders are likely to concentrate. The buy-side FVG at $85,800–$86,500 would put over $60 million of leveraged long positions at liquidation risk. The sell-side FVG at $90,600–$92,000 holds roughly $70 million in short liquidation exposure, as shown by a liquidation heatmap from CoinGlass.

With liquidity defined above and below the current price, near-term direction depends on which side of the range is tested first.
