Wisselsali decrease up to 9 years low
According to Glass node Data, the amount of ETH held on exchanges, has fallen from approximately 31 million to around 14.8 million ETH – a decrease of 52% compared to the 2016 level.
Many of those coins are probably in stopping contracts, cold portfolios or institutional detention, and the recent launch of the first Ethereum strike ETF has helped to pull more stock from stock markets.
Lower exchange calves mean fewer coins ready to be sold directly at fairs, so that the price movements can become sharper when large orders come on the market.

$ 3,700 becomes a line in sand

Those figures underline how quickly institutional sentiment can change: large inflow can disappear just as quickly and ETF flows now add a new, considerable layer to price dynamics.
Lookonchain Data also emphasized an earlier accumulation of approximately $ 204 million in ETH, with similar patterns of large players who performed during dips.
Retail traders now seem more careful. But the order of large purchasers of institutional quality suggests that some buyers see dips as opportunities, while others choose to wait on the sidelines.
