Coinbase Premium Index: BTC Demand Returns
Bitcoin’s recent drop from the new all-time high of $99,655 reached on November 22 to a weekly low of $90,742 on November 26 may be attributed to a decrease in demand from the United States. This was evident by a sharp drop in the Coinbase Premium Index over that period.
The Coinbase Premium Index measures the difference in pricing between the BTC/USD pair on the largest US exchange, Coinbase, and Binance’s BTC/USDT equivalent.

Bitcoin Balance on Exchanges Falls to 6-Year Lows
The BTC balance on exchanges continued to drop despite Bitcoin’s rise toward $100,000 when all of the investors were in profit, data from CryptoQant shows.
