"No spike on a single exchange, no localized selling pressure." That's how CryptoQuant analyst Amr Taha summarized the current Bitcoin picture on July 23, and the data backs him up. Mid-sized investors are not rushing to dump coins, and BlackRock's ETF keeps pulling in serious capital. Two things that rarely line up this neatly.

On July 23, Binance recorded inflows of 3,000 BTC, down from 3,446 BTC on June 22. Coinbase took in 2,600 BTC, a touch above its June 22 figure of 2,170 BTC, while Coinbase Prime logged 1,264 BTC against the earlier 1,560 BTC. Add it up and you get 6,864 BTC across all three platforms, just under the 7,176 BTC the market absorbed on June 22. The gap between Binance and Coinbase inflows shrank dramatically too, from 1,276 BTC to a mere 400 BTC. That matters because past corrections in October 2025 and January 2026 both featured sharp inflow spikes concentrated on one exchange, which created the kind of one-sided selling pressure that hammers price fast. Right now there's nothing like that. Bitcoin was trading near $65,800, having pulled back mildly from a two-day-ago high of $66,900, and the restrained, evenly spread inflows help explain why the dip stayed shallow.

On the institutional side, BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust pulled in roughly $557 million across four straight positive sessions between July 14 and July 21. The breakdown: $155 million on July 14, $131 million on July 17, $114 million on July 20, and $157 million on July 21. The last three sessions alone accounted for about $402 million. July 20 also saw 21Shares' ARKB attract around $70 million, so BlackRock and ARKB together brought in roughly $184 million that single day. Taha's read is that individual session size is less significant than the streak itself. Four consecutive positive days signals a pattern, not a one-off allocation.

Taken together, the picture Taha paints is one where muted on-chain selling and steady ETF demand are reinforcing each other. Neither factor alone would be enough to call a bullish shift. Both at once, and with no exchange showing the kind of concentrated inflow spike that preceded earlier sell-offs, it's a meaningfully different setup than what traders saw at the start of the year.
