EnsoTrade vs CryptoQuant
Exchange flows versus the live order book. Both watch the whales, one counts coins moving to exchanges, the other watches them hit the bids.
CryptoQuant is sharp on on-chain and exchange flows, where coins are moving and what whales are staging. But staging is not striking. The strike lands in the order book. Round by round:
