On-chain data shows that the Bitcoin exchange supply has only continued to slip further recently despite the price drop to the $29,200 that BTC has observed.<\/p>\n
According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Santiment<\/a>, the latest decline in the price doesn’t look to have triggered a severe reaction from the market yet.<\/p>\n The relevant indicator here is the “supply on exchanges<\/a>,” which measures the total amount of Bitcoin supply that’s currently being stored in the wallets of all centralized exchanges.<\/p>\n When the value of this metric goes up, it means that the investors are making a net amount of deposits to these platforms right now. As one of the main reasons why the holders would transfer their coins to exchanges is for selling-related purposes, this kind of trend can have bearish consequences for the price.<\/p>\n On the other hand, the indicator’s value decreasing suggests the investors are taking coins off to self-custodial wallets, potentially to hold onto them for extended periods. Naturally, such accumulation can have a bullish effect on the asset in the long term.<\/p>\n Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin supply on exchanges over the past few months:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin supply on exchanges has observed a constant downtrend during the last few months or so. This means that the investors have been consistently taking their coins off these platforms during this period despite price declines.<\/p>\nThe value of the metric seems to have been going down in recent weeks | Source: Santiment on Twitter<\/a><\/pre>\n
