In the shadowy corners of CryptoQuant, the enigmatic The Enigma Trader (a name so fitting, it could only belong to a crypto analyst) reveals a tale of shifting tides. The Bitcoin: Exchange Netflow metric, that fickle barometer of market sentiment, has swung from a deep, wintry -11,500 BTC to a modest +1,100 BTC. 🌡️ What does this mean, you ask?
