In the volatile world of cryptocurrency trading, price discrepancies between exchanges can offer crucial insights into regional demand and market<\/a> sentiment. Bitcoin is trading at a discount on Coinbase, a leading US-based crypto exchange, compared to its prices on global platforms. The exchange\u2019s spot pricing has slipped into a discount relative to major offshore platforms.<\/p>\n

Market Sentiment Softens Ahead Of Key Economic Data<\/b><\/h2>\n

A full-time crypto trader and investor, Daan Crypto Trades, has highlighted<\/a> on X that it\u2019s not unusual for Bitcoin to trade at a discount on Coinbase, and this happens quite often during a larger market pullback. However, the current discount is not as substantial as it was in the previous cycle.<\/p>\n

The discount is fundamentally created when the market is oversupplied with spot selling pressure originating from the Coinbase platform, particularly from the ETFs, US investors, and institutional investors. Generally, this discount on Coinbase is not the strongest sign, but it points to downward momentum. As seen on the chart, the market rarely bottoms<\/a> locally without first undergoing such a period of heavy selling, which generates the discount.<\/p>\n

\"Bitcoin\"<\/p>\n

Daan noted that this data is similar to tracking ETF flows, and the fact that BTC\u2019s price on Coinbase is negative is not a bullish indicator. However, if the BTC price<\/a> can sustain or start grinding higher after absorbing this period of heavy selling pressure, which is indicated by the discount, that could be a bullish sign for BTC. \u201cAlways compare the data<\/a> to know how the price is moving,\u201d the expert mentioned.<\/p>\n

Why This Cycle Might Last Longer Than Expected<\/b><\/h2>\n

Crypto analyst Batman has highlighted<\/a> a fascinating perspective from giants like Wintermute, which suggests that the concept of the Bitcoin four-year cycle is no longer relevant. However, Wintermute is now calling for a BTC supercycle. Offering his insights on the statement, Batman is supporting the idea using the BTC chart against the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) and Purchasing Managers\u2019 Index (PMI) composite.<\/p>\n

According to the expert, risky assets like BTC historically flourish in a growing economy. When the economy shows signs of slowing down, as reflected by the ISM and PMI contracting, it usually coincides with the cycle<\/a> top for BTC and ushers in a period of price slowdown.<\/p>\n

Despite BTC not maintaining an all-time high<\/a> level, the ISM and PMI are literally just beginning to expand, making this cycle different. A prolonged debt cycle due to the global Covid-19 shutdown may also cause the delay of the BTC cycle, as shown by the ISM and PMI starting to turn around toward an upward direction.<\/p>\n
