Short-term trends can be gauged using on-chain indicators like exchange inflows/outflows, active addresses, funding rates, whale wallet activity, and realized profit/loss ratios. Rising exchange inflows may signal selling pressure, while outflows often precede accumulation. Spikes in active addresses indicate increased user activity, often leading price rallies. Monitoring derivatives funding rates highlights leverage imbalances. Combined with mempool data and liquidity depth, these metrics provide early signals of short-term volatility and directional bias.
