In a December 9 market briefing, COINOTAG, citing Coinglass data, reports that the Bitcoin Premium Index on Coinbase has stayed in positive territory for seven straight sessions, currently at 0.0215%. This index measures the price delta between Coinbase and the global market, serving as a barometer for U.S. market demand and institutional participation.

With a positive premium, the market signals stronger buying pressure in the U.S. market and potential inflows from institutions, aided by liquidity in USD. A negative reading would imply risk-off sentiment or capital outflows. The current modest premium implies a cautious but persistent demand dynamic rather than a sustained breakout.

Traders and analysts may anchor risk assessment around this data alongside other indicators such as funding rates and open interest, ensuring decisions rely on a composite view rather than a single datapoint.
