Exchange Reserves Drop

Definition

An exchange reserves drop is a measurable decrease in the total amount of a specific cryptocurrency held in the wallets of centralized exchanges. This indicator signifies that a net quantity of a digital asset has been moved off exchanges, reducing the supply readily available for trading on those platforms. A consistent drop in exchange reserves can suggest a bullish sentiment, as fewer assets are held for immediate sale, potentially leading to increased price pressure. It often reflects a preference for self-custody or deployment in decentralized applications.
