Bitcoin has observed a sharp rally beyond the $47,000 level as data shows buying pressure on Coinbase has displayed no signs of letting off.<\/p>\n
After the asset’s indecisiveness over the last few days, the cryptocurrency has appeared to have picked its direction in the last 24 hours, as its price has increased sharply.<\/p>\n
At the peak of this surge, the coin had crossed beyond the $47,300 mark, but since then, the coin has registered some pullback as it’s now down to $46,500. The below chart shows how Bitcoin has performed during the last few days.<\/p>\n

The only cryptocurrencies in the top 20 market cap list that have attained better returns during this period are Solana (SOL) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH).<\/p>\n
This latest rally to levels not visited since March 2022 has come for the cryptocurrency as the US SEC deadline for a decision on BTC spot ETFs<\/a> is approaching fast.<\/p>\n
With the expectation in the market widely being that the ETFs would get approved, it’s not surprising that buyers may be jumping in, expecting the asset to rally further after the ETFs start trading.<\/p>\n
Data of an indicator could also point towards large entities being involved in accumulation in this leadup to the day of decision.<\/p>\n
BTC Coinbase Premium Gap Has Been Positive For More Than A Week Now<\/h2>\n
As CryptoQuant Netherlands community manager Maartunn pointed out in a post<\/a> on X, the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap has been positive for several consecutive days.<\/p>\n
The “Coinbase Premium Gap<\/a>” refers to a metric that keeps track of the difference between the Bitcoin prices listed on cryptocurrency exchanges Coinbase (USD pair) and Binance (USDT pair).<\/p>\n
This indicator’s value tells us about the difference in the buying (or selling) behaviors on the two largest platforms in the sector. Below is a chart showing the recent trend in this metric’s 14-day simple moving average (SMA).<\/p>\n

Thus, this indicates that large institutional traders have possibly been going shopping recently. Another indicator that suggests accumulation from the whales<\/a> is the “large holders netflow” metric from IntoTheBlock<\/a>, which has displayed positive spikes recently.<\/p>\n
