CryptoQuant: Altcoin Sell Pressure Hits a Five-Year High

The combined difference between altcoin buy and sell volumes on spot exchanges has dropped to the lowest level ever recorded. This was reported by a CryptoQuant analyst who goes by IT Tech and published a chart showing the trend. The metric covers altcoins excluding Bitcoin and Ether, and it captures an uninterrupted outflow of capital underway since the start of 2025.

The indicator came close to zero in early spring 2025, after which it sharply reversed downward and has kept falling. The current reading is a record low since calculations began in 2020, surpassing the lows seen during the 2022–2023 period.

The analyst stresses that this is not a short-term correction but a fifteen-month trend of systematic selling. The chart shows a divergence between the price of Bitcoin, which is holding above the $60,000 mark, and the falling altcoin metric, which points to liquidity flowing out of secondary assets while interest in the major cryptocurrencies holds up.
