Forecast Trend Report by Period
A total of $2.2bn worth of Tether (USDT) was deposited into global cryptocurrency exchange Binance on the 18th (local time), data showed.
Amr Taha, a contributor at CryptoQuant, said that day, “$2.2bn worth of Tether flowed into Binance today,” adding that it was “the largest daily stablecoin deposit since November 2025.” He said it “could be seen as a signal ending the liquidity slowdown that has persisted for several months,” and that “some interpret it as whales (large investors) or institutions supplying fresh firepower to the upside rally to prevent a sharp (Bitcoin) pullback.”
Taha also noted that the (surging) sidelined liquidity could absorb selling pressure. He said the spike in Tether deposits “shows confidence among large investors,” and analyzed that, coming as it does alongside a (Bitcoin) breakout, it “suggests the sustainability of the uptrend.”
Meanwhile, Bitcoin is trading sideways around $74,000 ahead of the US Federal Reserve’s (Fed) interest-rate decision later that day. According to CoinMarketCap, as of 8:05 p.m. KST, Bitcoin was trading at $73,815.01, up 0.03% from the previous day. That marks a 6.03% gain compared with a week earlier.
