Ethereum's supply scarcity on Binance reached a record 2.47 in April, the highest reading in seven years of data, while price simultaneously sold off to $2,260. ETH has since recovered to $2,410, now approaching the resistance level that capped price on April 21.
Bitcoin reached $79,000 on April 22 for the first time since early February, recovering the full range of its two-month correction. The 1-hour RSI sits at 79.21 on volume that does not match the size of the move. What's underneath the price is more telling than the price itself.
Bitcoin crossed $78,000 on a news-driven spike but April 21 ETF data showed just $11.84M in net inflows, with BlackRock carrying almost the entire positive side alone.

For years, stablecoins occupied an awkward middle ground in financial debates - too small for central banks to treat seriously, too large for regulators to ignore comfortably.
Ethereum's open interest collapsed across multiple exchanges for the second time this month. Three years of taker ratio data put the recovery in a context the short-term chart alone cannot provide.
XRP's exchange reserves remain at a multi-month high while whale selling has collapsed and active network addresses hit their lowest level in weeks, three datasets pointing in three different directions at the same time.
For years, Polkadot occupied a peculiar position in the blockchain space - technically ambitious, consistently behind Ethereum and Solana in developer adoption, and perpetually described as a project with "unrealized potential."
Michael Saylor's Strategy is no longer a tech company that owns Bitcoin on the side - it is closer to a financial institution that borrows from capital markets to accumulate a single fixed-supply asset.
