Bitcoin’s price outlook Exchange reserves are thin Exchange balances for Bitcoin have plummeted to new multiyear lows, falling to about 2.19 million BTC, a level not seen in a very long time. On paper, that sounds like the perfect setup for a classic supply shock: fewer coins available for sale, rising scarcity and the potential for an outsized upside reaction once demand reignites.   Bitcoin’s price outlook The chart of exchange balances shows an unbroken, steady decline over the past year.
