Bitcoin’s Price Rebound and Market Dynamics
Bitcoin recently rebounded to $105,000, driven by strong buying interest on Coinbase where the BTC premium hit its second-highest level this year. Meanwhile, Binance saw a surge in retail inflows, suggesting increased activity among smaller traders.
Understanding the Coinbase Premium and Binance Inflows
The Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index remained positive through June, indicating sustained U.S. investor demand, likely fueled by spot ETF activity. At the same time, Binance recorded its highest retail inflow percentage in two years, with notable growth in small BTC deposits (0-1 BTC range).
Market Sentiment and Future Outlook
The price surge to $105,000 resulted primarily from short liquidations rather than new long positions. While the Coinbase premium suggests institutional buying interest, Binance’s retail inflows may indicate profit-taking behavior. For sustained growth, Bitcoin needs stronger buying volume and open interest recovery. However, if funding rates rise without open interest support, a bearish reversal could occur.
