Data shows the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap has plunged into the red zone alongside the latest drop in the BTC spot price below the $80,000 level. Bitcoin Has Retraced Some Of Its Recent Price Recovery Bitcoin saw recovery surges above $82,000 on Sunday and Monday, but these spikes failed to set the tone for the week as BTC has since followed a downward trajectory. This decline observed an acceleration on Wednesday, with the cryptocurrency’s price even briefly sinking below $79,000. Related Reading: Dogecoin TD Sequential Flashes Sell Signal: Price Correction Ahead? Below is a chart that shows the price action that Bitcoin has experienced recently. As is visible in the graph, Bitcoin has made some recovery from its low, as its price is now floating around $79,600, but compared to the Sunday high, it remains down about 3.3%. Now, what was the cause behind the drop? The data of the Coinbase Premium Gap may provide some hints. BTC Coinbase Premium Gap Has Turned Negative Recently As pointed out by analyst Maartunn in an X post, the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap has declined recently. This indicator measures the difference between the BTC spot price listed on Coinbase (USD pair) and that on Binance (USDT pair). When the value of the metric is positive, it means BTC is going for a higher rate on Coinbase than on Binance. Such a trend implies users of the former are applying a higher buying pressure (or lower selling pressure) than the latter’s traders. On the other hand, the indicator having a sub-zero value suggests Binance investors may be applying a higher buying pressure as BTC is trading at a higher price on the platform. Now, here is the chart shared by Maartunn that shows the recent trend in the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap: As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap has dipped into the red zone recently, indicating that the asset has been trading at a discount on Coinbase. These negative values in the metric have coincided with the cryptocurrency’s pullback, a potential sign that selling pressure on the platform may have a role to play in it. Bitcoin showing some correlation to the Coinbase Premium Gap isn’t a new development. In fact, it’s a pattern that has established itself in recent years. The reason behind it lies in the growing presence of the US-based institutional entities in the cryptocurrency sector, which happen to be the biggest users of Coinbase.

Market maker giant Jane Street is again drawing intense attention in crypto markets, with experts claiming the firm’s “next target” may now be Ethereum (ETH). The speculation comes after reports that Jane Street made several major adjustments to its positions during the week, following months of scrutiny tied to alleged trading manipulation connected to Bitcoin (BTC). From Bitcoin Retreat To Ethereum Expansion Jane Street, one of Wall Street’s most active proprietary trading firms, reportedly reduced multiple Bitcoin-linked holdings in the first quarter (Q1) of the year, while meaningfully increasing its exposure to assets tied to Ethereum. Jane Street’s position in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) fell by 71% quarter-over-quarter to about 5.9 million shares, with a reported value near $225 million. Related Reading: Bitcoin And XRP Climb On CLARITY Act News—But Clear Path To Law Isn’t Done Yet The firm also cut its stake in Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), where holdings fell approximately 60% to around 2 million shares, valued at nearly $115 million at quarter-end. The reduction also extended to Strategy (previously MicroStrategy). Jane Street’s Strategy holdings fell from about 968,000 shares in Q4 2025 to roughly 210,000 shares by the end of Q1. The reported value declined from close to $146 million to around $27 million. But while the firm was dialing back Bitcoin exposure, it was simultaneously building its Ethereum footprint. Jane Street expanded its holdings in Ethereum ETFs, with positions in BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust nearly doubling during the quarter. The firm also added substantially to Fidelity’s Ethereum fund. Combined additions across the two ETH products were estimated at approximately $82 million. Smaller Derivatives, Bigger Impact? The move is now being framed by analysts as a potential continuation of the same pattern some observers associate with Jane Street’s earlier Bitcoin-linked controversies. Analysts at Bull Theory suggested that the firm behind a “daily 10 AM Bitcoin dump,” the same firm that was reportedly sued for insider trading in the $40 billion LUNA collapse, and the same firm with $567 million frozen by Indian regulators could now be targeting Ethereum. Their central argument is that ETH may be easier to move than BTC, primarily because of market structure and scale. Bull Theory pointed out that Bitcoin futures open interest stands at roughly $60 billion, while Ethereum’s is slightly more than half at about $34 billion. Related Reading: Hyperliquid (HYPE) To $100? Expert Forecasts Major Rise Before Summer 2027 The thesis is that a smaller derivatives market can make it possible to influence price with a smaller amount of capital. They also emphasized relative market size, noting that ETH’s market cap is $273 billion compared to BTC’s $1.6 trillion. Under their logic, the same amount of capital would create 6 times greater price impact in ETH. The analysts also argued that the Ethereum ETF market is still relatively early. They claimed that Bitcoin ETFs hold roughly 6.67% of all circulating BTC supply, while Ethereum ETF penetration is lower, meaning there may not yet be the same institutional “demand floor” to absorb coordinated selling. Their conclusion was pointed: they believe the rotation into Ethereum is not happening primarily because Jane Street is forecasting bullish fundamentals for ETH, but because Ethereum is “easier to move.” At the time of writing, ETH was trading at around $2,292, with almost no change from Wednesday’s price. Meanwhile, other assets such as Bitcoin and XRP saw gains of around 2% and 4% respectively during the same period. Featured image created with OpenArt, chart from TradingView.com

Bitcoin’s latest push has run into a difficult stretch, with the price falling back under the $80,000 mark in the past 24 hours. This context gives more weight to a new quarterly chart analysis that places the most important levels much lower than the current price. According to the analyst, Bitcoin may continue to move sideways within the present quarter, but the structure of the quarterly candle makes the $65,000 region a major area to watch if the current resistance continues to hold. The Resistance Zone That Could Define This Quarter Technical analysis of Bitcoin price action on the 3-month candlestick chart shows important price levels for Bitcoin traders in this quarter. The analysis, which was posted on X by crypto analyst Minga, puts the most immediate observation on the $80,600 to $82,500 range. This is a band that, based on the quarterly chart, represents the ideal area for Bitcoin to find rejection in the current candle. Related Reading: The 3 Bitcoin Rules That Tell When The Bear Market Is Fully Over This zone is important because it sits near the upper boundary of the current quarterly structure and has already acted as a difficult area for bulls to reclaim. Bitcoin tested the 200-day SMA resistance around $82,500 early in the week, but buyers have so far failed to secure a strong breakout above the level. The outlook is that Bitcoin should ideally reject inside the $80,600 to $82,500 range. If Bitcoin cannot close above this region in this quarter, then it shows that the price action lacks the conviction required to push into price discovery on this particular cycle’s terms. On the other hand, if Bitcoin reclaims this area, then the quarterly candle will end up engulfing the previous quarterly candle, which is something that hasn’t happened during a bear market before. $65,000 Is Very Important The bearish side of the setup depends on Bitcoin continuing to reject from $80,600 to $82,500, but there are important support levels to watch when there is a rejection. The analyst identified Bitcoin’s quarterly open at around $68,200, and this level stands out as the first major support area below the current price action. A move back to the quarterly open would therefore place Bitcoin at an important decision point for the broader timeframe. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts Biggest Bitcoin Bull Trap Of The Cycle, Calls Out 50% Crash To $42,000 However, perhaps the most important line in the sand for this quarter is $65,000, and this is because there are untapped lows around that area on the lower timeframes. Bitcoin has yet to revisit these untapped lows, and therefore, $65,000 represents areas of likely liquidity. However, there is a strong possibility that Bitcoin holds the region as support and stages another upside bounce from there. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $79,820, down by 1.8% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

Morgan Stanley alone manages roughly $7 trillion in client assets. If its advisers shift even 3% of that into Bitcoin, the math gets staggering fast. That scenario sits at the heart of what financial adviser Ric Edelman calls a potential “flywheel effect” — a chain reaction of institutional money that could send Bitcoin soaring past $150,000 before 2026 ends. Related Reading: XRP Bulls Gain Momentum As ETF Inflows Reach Multi-Month High Wall Street Is Waiting For A Green Light Edelman laid out the argument during a recent appearance on the Milk Road podcast with host John Gillen. He said traditional financial firms have largely stayed on the sidelines not because of disinterest, but because of regulatory uncertainty. Once the Clarity Act passes, he said, that changes. Large brokerages, wealth managers, and fund companies would be free to move — and Edelman believes many are ready to do exactly that. Morgan Stanley has already told its advisers to begin adding small crypto positions to client portfolios. Other Wall Street firms are watching closely. The ripple effect, Edelman argued, could be enormous. Rising prices pull in more investors. More investors push prices higher. That cycle feeds itself, and the result could be a rally unlike anything the crypto market has seen before. He also said his longer-term target remains $500,000 per Bitcoin before the decade closes. Why The 60/40 Portfolio Is Losing Ground Much of Edelman’s case connects to a broader shift in how he thinks retirement investing should work. For decades, the standard advice pointed investors toward a 60/40 split — 60% stocks, 40% bonds — with the bond share growing as retirement approached. Edelman says that model was built around a world where people died in their mid-80s. That world is fading. His research with institutions including the Stanford Center on Longevity and MIT AgeLab points to a future where living to 100 becomes common. Under traditional strategies, many of those people would run out of money. His answer is an 80/20 model, keeping 80% in equities and growth assets well into old age. Related Reading: Bitcoin Faces Major Test As 37% Recovery Collides With Bear Resistance Within that 80%, he said at least 10% belongs in crypto. Younger investors with higher risk tolerance, he suggested, could go as high as 40%. Edelman did not push a single coin. Bitcoin remains the dominant choice, but he acknowledged the growing role of Ethereum and Solana. Some investors use a market-cap weighted approach, putting more into Bitcoin while holding smaller positions in other assets. Others prefer exposure through companies like Coinbase and Robinhood, which are tied to the growth of the broader crypto sector. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView
