Data Suggests Buying On Coinbase Behind The Bitcoin Pump

Data shows the Bitcoin Coinbase premium gap has surged up to positive values, suggesting that buying from investors on the exchange could be behind the pump to $22k.

Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap Observes Sharp Rise To Positive Values

As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, after many months of negative values, the Coinbase premium gap is now above zero.

The “Coinbase premium gap” is an indicator that measures the difference between the Bitcoin price on Coinbase  Pro (USD pair) and the value on Binance (USDT pair).

Since Coinbase is popularly used by US investors (especially institutionals), while Binance is used more in other parts of the world, the difference in BTC prices between the exchanges can suggest where the buying/sell pressure could be coming from.

When the value of the premium gap is greater than zero, it means the value of the crypto listed on Coinbase is currently more than on Binance. This suggests that US investors have recently been buying more compared to the rest of the world.

On the other hand, negative values of the metric suggest US investors may be applying more selling pressure/lesser buying pressure on the market at the moment.

Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Coinbase premium gap over the past couple of days:

Also, it’s apparent from the chart that the latest pump in the price of the crypto looks to have occurred concurrently with this spike in the premium gap.

This could suggest that buying pressure from investors in the US may be behind Bitcoin catching some new upwards momentum.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s price floats around $21.6k, up 12% in the last seven days. Over the past month, the crypto has lost 31% in value.

Earlier in the day, Bitcoin broke past $22k for the first time since mid-June. Since then, the crypto seems to have retraced back a little.
