The cryptocurrency market is on high alert today after new data from CryptoQuant shows that the Coinbase Premium Gap for Bitcoin has turned negative for the first time in two months. This important metric may be signaling that buying demand in the United States is growing weaker, which could put more pressure on Bitcoin in the short term.
Coinbase’s Bitcoin Premium Turns Negative
For the past 60 days, Bitcoin has been trading at a higher price on Coinbase compared to Binance. This usually signals strong buying interest from U.S.-based investors, especially big institutions. Coinbase is preferred in the U.S. due to its regulatory trust and cleaner reputation.
But now, for the first time since late May, this premium has flipped. Bitcoin is cheaper on Coinbase than on Binance. Meanwhile, this flip suggests that U.S. demand has slowed down, especially from big institutions that usually use Coinbase to trade.
If this trend continues, Bitcoin might drop further. Analysts believe prices could retest support levels between $118,000 and $116,000
CryptoQuant: Weak U.S. Demand Could Pressure Prices
Experts at CryptoQuant warn that this drop in U.S. interest might lead to short-term price pressure. In the past, similar negative shifts were linked to U.S. traders becoming cautious.
Adding to this concern, Bitcoin ETF inflows have also slowed down in recent weeks, further showing that investor interest from the U.S. might be cooling off, at least for now.
Ethereum Coinbase Premium Turn Neutral
On the other hand, CryptoQuant’s data also highlights that the Ethereum Coinbase Premium Gap is now neutral, which also means US investors are no longer eager buyers.
The shift indicator shows that the Ethereum price will slide toward $3,750 to $3,800. But if the premium gap turns positive again soon, it could be a sign that US buyers are returning, which might help push prices back up.
As of now, Ethereum is trading around $3,874, reflecting a slight drop seen in the last 24 hours.
