- What is exchange net flow, and is it bullish or bearish?
- Net flow is coins moving INTO exchange wallets minus coins moving OUT each day. A negative net flow (outflow) means more QRL is leaving exchanges than arriving — traders generally read it as accumulation and reduced sell pressure, since coins on exchanges are the ones readily available to sell. A positive net flow (inflow) is the opposite. It's a signal, not a guarantee.
- What's the difference between inflow and outflow?
- Inflow is the gross amount of QRL arriving on exchanges over a window; outflow is the gross amount leaving. Net flow is simply inflow minus outflow. Showing both halves matters: a quiet market has small inflow and outflow, while a churning one can move large amounts each way that happen to net near zero — which the net figure alone would hide.
- How much QRL is on exchanges, and what does the balance trend show?
- The supply-on-exchanges chart tracks the running balance held in labelled exchange wallets over time — the level, where net flow is the daily change. A rising line means coins are accumulating on exchanges (more sell-ready supply); a falling line means they are draining into private wallets. Watch the trend rather than the absolute number.
- Does a big exchange balance or inflow mean a sell-off is coming?
- No. Exchange wallets hold customer deposits and treasury floats, so a large balance just means a lot of QRL is custodied there — not that it will be sold. Rising balances and inflows lean toward sell pressure and falling balances toward accumulation, but these are probabilistic signals, best read alongside other indicators rather than as a prediction.
- How are exchange wallets identified, and how complete is the coverage?
- From a curated set of address labels — known deposit, hot and cold wallets for exchanges that hold QRL. Only labelled addresses count, so every figure is a lower bound: an unlabelled exchange wallet is not included until it is tagged. Labels are reviewed before they go live and added over time, so coverage improves.
- Can a large deposit or withdrawal just be the exchange moving its own funds?
- Sometimes — exchanges shuffle coins between their own hot and cold wallets. To keep the largest-transfers feed meaningful, transfers between two labelled exchange wallets are excluded, so it leans toward genuine deposits (a holder sending to an exchange) and withdrawals (an exchange sending to a holder) rather than internal rebalances.
