Altcoin deposits just tagged the October 2025 zone.
That's the 7-day inflow count, not dollar volume. More wallets sending alts to CEX after a clean run. That's usually holders lining up an exit, not fresh demand.
Makes sense. Market ran, some of the summer bags finally went green, and people take it. A pullback or even just a quiet week from here wouldn't be a surprise.
Not calling a top. Just not treating this spike as fuel for the next leg.
If you've been riding alts, this is the tape that says size the next add smaller — or wait for the dip those deposits are probably trying to sell into.
That’s another point on the board that the downtrend is actually flipping — not hopium, just how prior cycles stopped making lower highs.
Same sequence every time: take out the last major high, hold above it, structure turns. After that the tape stops being “sell every bounce” and starts looking like grind-up, correct, grind-up.
2022 vs now is almost 1:1 on the daily. Same circled highs, same flush, same reclaim of the level that used to cap every rally.
Doesn’t mean a new ATH next week. A trend change is not a moon bag. It’s a staircase.
Those stairs are the add. Especially if you sat out the summer lows waiting for a print that never came. We’re in one of those pullbacks now — if it goes deeper, that’s the spot bid. $BTC first, then whatever you actually want to hold.
