Centralized Exchange flows analytics is based on monitoring cryptos moving in and out of CEXs by analyzing on-chain transactions.

It records a money flow of a particular token transferred to and from centralized exchange wallets to evaluate investors’ behavior.

 

Understanding CEX Inflows & Outflows

  • CEX Inflows: traders deposit tokens on CEX, more likely for selling.
  • CEX Outflows: traders withdraw tokens from CEX, more likely for holding, staking, or farming.

 

Identify Bullish and Bearish Signals

A surge in a token’s CEX Net Inflow value indicates depositing and selling activity on CEX. Conversely, the CEX Net Outflow value increases represent buying, withdrawing, and holding.

Indicator: Top CEX Net Inflow

Formula: Tokens deposits to CEXs minus Tokens withdrawals from CEXs.

Condition: An ascension in CEX Net Outflows for a particular token may indicate increasing sale activities on centralized exchanges.

Signal: Bearish

In the latest version, Candlestick has developed 4 new signals for smarter trading by token CEX flows.

 

New Explore Token Lists — Top CEX Net Inflow / Top CEX Net Outflow

Two new leaderboards on the Explore page discover top tokens based on the Net CEX inflow & Outflow amounts.

New Chart — Net CEX Outflow Indicator

The green line means the token amount withdrawals from CEX is larger than the token amount transferred into CEX, which is a bullish signal.

The red line indicates more tokens are deposited to centralized exchanges than withdrawn — a bearish signal as the followed-up action is likely to sell on CEX.
