Data shows the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Index remained at negative levels despite the rebound in BTC’s spot price back toward $78,000.

Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap Points To Selling Pressure From US Traders

As pointed out by analyst Axel Adler Jr in an X post, the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Index has been inside the negative territory recently. This indicator tracks the percentage difference between the BTC spot price listed on Coinbase (USD pair) and that on Binance (USDT pair).

In short, what this metric tells us about is how the trader’s buying and selling behaviors compare between Coinbase and Binance. Below is the chart shared by Adler Jr that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Index over the past year:

As is visible in the graph, the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Index was at mostly positive levels during the second half of 2025, indicating that the asset was going for a higher price on Coinbase as compared to Binance. Such a trend naturally implies that Coinbase users were providing a higher amount of buying pressure.

The trend flipped toward the end of the year as Coinbase users took to selling alongside the price drawdown. From the chart, it’s visible that 2026 only furthered the downward trajectory in the metric, with a massive negative peak coming alongside the crash at the start of February.

As the market has stabilized since this crash, the index has also calmed down, but negative values have still largely dominated. Interestingly, the latest streak of red levels has come despite the recent recovery that BTC has witnessed.

Coinbase’s main traffic is made up of US-based investors, with institutional entities from the nation being prominent customers for the platform. The spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which have been around for nearly 2.5 years now and have acted as a gateway for institutions, also use the exchange as a custodian.

In recent years, the price has often tended to correlate with the Coinbase Premium Index, suggesting that American whales have driven the market. As such, it may not be surprising that the recent recovery surge fizzled out when Coinbase users didn’t back it.

This pattern may also have played out again on a shorter timeframe. During the past day, Bitcoin witnessed a surge back toward the $78,000 level, but the move couldn’t last, and the coin has since retraced. The Coinbase Premium Index is sitting at a value of -0.098 right now, which is the lowest level this month. This relatively high selling pressure on Coinbase may be the source of the retrace.

Keshav is currently a senior writer at NewsBTC and has been attached to the website since June 14, 2021.

Keshav has been writing for many years, first as a hobbyist and later as a freelancer. He has experience working in a variety of niches, even fiction at one point, but the cryptocurrency industry has been the longest he has been attached to.

In terms of official educational qualifications, Keshav holds a bachelor’s degree in Physics from one of the premier institutes of India, the University of Delhi (DU). He started the degree with an aim of eventually making a career in Physics, but the onset of COVID led to a shift in plans. The virus meant that the college classes had to be delivered in the online-mode and with it came free time for him to explore other passions.

Initially only seeking to make some beer money, Keshav unexpectedly landed clients offering real projects, after which there was no looking back. Writing was something he had always enjoyed and to be able to do it for a living was like a dream come true.

Keshav completed his Physics degree in 2022 and has been focusing on his writing career since, but that doesn’t mean his passion for Physics has ended. He eventually plans to re-enter university to obtain a masters degree in the same field, but perhaps only to satiate his own interest rather than for using it as a means to find employment..

Keshav has found blockchain and its concepts fascinating ever since he started going down the rabbit-hole back in 2020. On-chain analysis in particular has been something he likes to research more about, which is why his NewsBTC pieces tend to involve it in some form.

Being of the science background, Keshav likes if concepts are clear and consistent, so he generally explains the indicators he talks about in a bit of detail so that the readers can perhaps come out having understood and learnt something new.

As for hobbies, Keshav is super into football, anime, and videogames. He enjoys football not only as a watcher, but also as a player. For games, Keshav generally tends towards enjoying singleplayer adventures, with EA FC (formerly FIFA) being the only online game he is active in. Though, perhaps due to being ultra-focused on the game, he is today a semi-pro on the EA FC scene, regularly participating in tournaments and sometimes even taking back prize money.

Because of his enthusiasm for anime and games, he also self-learned Japanese along the way to consume some of the untranslated gems out there. The skill didn’t merely remain as just a hobby, either, as he put it to productive use during his exploration for small-time gigs at the start of COVID, fulfilling a couple of Japanese-to-English translation jobs.

Keshav is also big into fitness, with agility and acceleration-related workouts making a big part of his program due to the relevance they have in football. On top of that, he also has a more traditional strength based program for the gym, which he does to maintain an overall fitness level of his body.
