Ethereum supply on exchanges increases, but…
Despite recent accumulation trends and the observed negative exchange inflow reported by CryptoQuant, one might have expected a decrease in the supply on exchanges.
However, an analysis of the supply on exchange data from Santiment showed a recent increase. The chart showed that from around 13th January, the supply has risen by about 2 million.
At the time of this writing, the supply on exchange was 12.66 million, up from around 10.66 million in early January.

It is worth noting that despite this increase, the supply on exchanges remained significantly lower compared to the supply outside of exchanges.
Further analysis of the supply outside exchanges showed that 121.12 million ETH are currently held off exchanges.
ETH recovers slightly
A detailed analysis of the Ethereum price trend on a daily timeframe chart showed a decline of over 1% on 21st February. This reduction followed the previous day’s surge into the $3,000 price range, which led to a notable increase in liquidation volume.
