It has hit the $464 level but then began sliding back down.

Exchange ETH deposits and withdrawals hit a major low

Another tweet from Glassnode said that ETH exchange netflow (which is the difference in volume between ETH sent to and from crypto exchanges) is down to a 16-month low of -14,004.623 ETH.

Users are not in a rush to transfer their ETH to trading platforms and are not withdrawing much.

The good news, though, is that the amount of ETH non-zero addresses has reached an all-time high of 46,369,750, increasing from the previous value of 46,367,456.
