Ethereum and Bitcoin are experiencing historic lows in supply on exchanges, with Ethereum at under 4.9% and Bitcoin at 7.1%, signaling a shift towards holding assets in private wallets or DeFi platforms.
Bitcoin's exchange supply has decreased by 1.7 million BTC over the past five years, while Ethereum has seen 15.3 million ETH moving off exchanges.
Despite favorable supply dynamics, Ethereum's price action has been range-bound recently, trading between $2,300 to $2,580, with major support at $2,100 and resistance at $2,800.
Traders are cautious due to the lack of a clear breakout from the current range, with attention focused on potential signs of a breakout and the impact of the low exchange supply on future price movements.
