Bitcoin has broken above $22,000 again as on-chain data shows signs that whales have been buying BTC on Coinbase recently.

Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap Has Been Highly Positive Recently

As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, the Coinbase Premium Gap has been rising in recent days. The “Coinbase Premium Gap” here is an indicator that measures the difference in the Bitcoin price listed on the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase and that listed on Binance.

Coinbase is popularly known to be more heavily used by US-based investors (especially institutional holders), while Binance receives a more global traffic. This means that the premium gap can provide insight into which of the two userbases are providing more buying pressure (or selling pressure) to the asset right now.

When the value of the indicator is negative, it means the price listed on Coinbase is currently lesser than that on Binance. This would suggest that Coinbase users have been doing more selling (or simply, lesser buying) than the global users recently.

On the other hand, a positive premium gap implies the American investors are buying the asset more heavily than the world userbase at the moment as the price on Coinbase is higher.

Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap over the past couple of weeks:

As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap had been around neutral values for most of the last two weeks, but after BTC plunged to around $19,500, the metric’s value started to see some rapid rise.

This increase would suggest that as BTC hit those low prices, whales on Coinbase began to buy large amounts of the cryptocurrency, pushing the price higher on the exchange.

Bitcoin Long-Term Holders Still Holding Strong Despite Price Decline

These high values have continued since then, implying that the buying pressure on the platform hasn’t dropped off relative to the activity taking place on Binance.

After the Coinbase Premium Gap hit these high values, the price also stopped declining further. And in the last 24 hours, Bitcoin has even observed some rapid uptrend, which may confirm that whales are indeed buying heavily on Coinbase and the premium gap isn’t simply because of a lesser amount of selling taking place from US-based investors as compared to global holders.

BTC could continue to see further bullish momentum if the premium gap remains at high values and whales keep up the buying. The quant also notes in the post that if the whales intend to keep the rally going, then it’s also unlikely that the asset would fall below the $19,500 level anytime soon, since that’s where the indicator’s value first started to observe the rise.

BTC Price

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $22,000, down 2% in the last week.

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.
