About this metric
What it measures
Exchange Net Position Change (30d) is the tracked exchange BTC balance minus its level 30 days earlier, measured in BTC. Positive values show reserve growth over the rolling window; negative values show a decline.
How to read it
Above zero, exchanges hold more BTC than 30 days earlier; below zero, they hold less. The series reached about +300,717 BTC on December 26, 2017 and about -279,010 BTC on December 8, 2022, illustrating the scale of past monthly reserve expansions and contractions without setting a repeatable market threshold.
Successive observations share most of their 30-day window, so adding them double-counts the same balance changes. A reading can turn because an old flow leaves the window, even if today’s flow is small. Address reclassification and custody transfers also affect reserves without establishing a trade.

FAQ
Is 30-day exchange net position change a monthly calendar total?
No. Each date compares the tracked reserve balance with its level 30 days earlier. The window rolls forward every day rather than resetting at the start of a calendar month.
How does it differ from daily exchange net flow?
Daily net flow measures deposits minus withdrawals for one day. The 30-day position change compares two reserve balances and roughly corresponds to accumulated net flows over that window when address coverage is consistent.
Can the 30-day change improve while coins still leave exchanges?
Yes. A large earlier outflow can leave the rolling window, making the reading less negative even while new outflows continue. A rising line below zero still means reserves are lower than 30 days earlier.
