Recent data signals trouble for six altcoins as a surge in exchange deposits raises fears of potential sell-offs.
Tokens such as WLD, MOVE, MKR, stETH, OM, and RSR have seen significant transfers to major exchanges, sparking concerns about price drops amid shifting market sentiment.
A notable increase in supply on trading platforms suggests that investors might be looking to offload their holdings. Reports indicate substantial portions of these altcoins were deposited on Bybit, Binance, Coinbase, and KuCoin, which could lead to downward pressure on prices. Historically, rising exchange balances have often preceded price corrections as traders prepare to sell.
Despite the heightened risk, price action remains mixed. While WLD, OM, stETH, and RSR posted modest gains, MOVE and MKR experienced slight declines. Investors remain cautious as they assess whether these assets can sustain their recent momentum or succumb to selling pressure.
