Bitcoin [BTC] strikes careful balance with the ascent of these two metrics

• Bitcoin’s total address count has been on an incline recently
• Supply on exchanges has also appreciated, with BTC’s price breaching its January highs

Bitcoin’s [BTC] meteoric ascent has allowed it to re-visit and even break beyond its January high on the price front. In fact, the king coin has been more volatile than usual due to its ups and downs on the charts. Nonetheless, the aforementioned uncertainty has not deterred new investors from becoming holders in this market.

Here, it’s worth noting that the RSI had a reading of 67 at press time. Simply put, the RSI was on its way to the overbought zone – A sign of the market’s bullishness.

More Bitcoin hits exchanges

While the price and quantity of Bitcoin addresses have increased recently, the supply on exchanges has also increased over the past few days. In the last five days alone, around 50,000 BTC or $1.2 billion have been put into well-known crypto exchange wallets, according to Alicharts. 

Consider this – At the time of writing, Santiment’s data revealed that 1.3 million BTCs were available on exchanges.

How much are 1,10,100 BTCs worth today

The increase in supply on exchanges is a sign that there is liquidity available. The availability of liquidity may be advantageous as the number of Bitcoin addresses grows. However, BTC’s value will fall if the scales tilt and there is more supply than demand. 

If the current equilibrium maintains itself, it might aid BTC’s ascent and help it build a more robust support base between $25,000 and $26,000.
