Whenever this index flips positive, it shows an uptick in the demand from the U.S market. The opposite holds true when the index is negative.

According to the Analytics insight from CryptoQuant, the data points proves there is a dominance of buying pressure in the American market. The analytics platform also confirmed that Bitcoin’s 14-day Simple Moving Average also flipped positive 3 days ago, the first time in 3 years.

Since the 72-hour timeframe, BTC price has jumped by 4%, edged closer to $100,000, a move that aligns with historical contexts. CryptoQuant pointed out that when the Coinbase Premium last turned positive in November, 2024, price jumped from $69,000 to $108,000.
