An exchange supply squeeze describes a market condition where the amount of a particular digital asset available for sale on exchanges becomes critically low. This scarcity arises from a combination of strong buying pressure and assets being moved into long-term storage, reducing the liquid supply. A severe supply squeeze can lead to rapid price increases as demand significantly outstrips available supply. It reflects a significant imbalance between buyers and sellers.
