The Coinbase Premium Gap has turned positive, which means Bitcoin is trading at a higher price on Coinbase than on Binance. How quaint, that the playground of American technocrats should momentarily outpace the gritty bazaars of Binance. 🧐
Coinbase is typically used by U.S. institutions, hedge funds, and high-net-worth individuals using Coinbase Prime/Pro. Because nothing says “democratic revolution” like a platform that charges 4% fees and occasionally freezes withdrawals. 💸
A positive gap confirms that the rally is being driven by spot buying demand from American institutions.

This is a rather positive signal for the ongoing rally since it is not driven by leveraged bets. Oh, the sweet, naive optimism of a market untainted by the invisible hand of leverage! 🙃
Why the rally stalled
The leading cryptocurrency topped right as the U.S. session closed. How poetic that the rally should pause with the precision of a government-issued timepiece. ⏰
Institutional buying is often algorithmic and tied to standard U.S. stock market hours (9:30 AM to 4:00 PM ET). Because even robots need to clock out and collect their 401(k) dividends. 🤖
The moment the U.S. trading day ended (4:00 PM ET), and the aggressive buying pressure from these institutions stopped. Perhaps they’re all attending a Zoom seminar on “How to Worry Your Stockbroker While Black.” 📉
Bitcoin is currently changing hands slightly above the $94,000 level. Only slightly above, because why let a good narrative get in the way of a price chart? 🚀
