Points to be aware

CryptoQuant always try to be precise and take immediate actions but addresses that are newly created or not labeled need some time to be corrected.

For example, large amount of bitcoin could be seen to get its way out of the exchange but it could be just an internal wallet change. It gives an impression of an outflow but instead it is just the same bitcoin staying in the same exchange.

However, the accuracy of labeling and tracking exchange addresses continues to increase making the flow and indicators in the same way. Also, the heuristic running to label the exchange addresses continues to evolve around time.
