The buying sentiment in the U.S. market continues to improve, with the Coinbase Bitcoin premium index remaining positive for the ninth consecutive day.

As of April 17, per Coinglass data, the Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index has stayed positive for 9 straight days, currently standing at 0.0117%. U.S. market buying sentiment continues to improve, following 15 consecutive days of negative premiums. BlockBeats Note: The Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index measures the gap between Bitcoin’s price on Coinbase (a top U.S. exchange) and the global market average. It’s a key indicator for tracking U.S. market capital inflows, institutional investment interest, and shifts in market sentiment. A positive premium means Coinbase’s Bitcoin price is above the global average—typically signaling strong U.S. market buying interest, active inflows of institutional or compliant funds, ample USD liquidity, and broadly optimistic investor sentiment. A negative premium, by contrast, means Coinbase’s price is below the global average, usually reflecting heavy U.S. market selling pressure, reduced investor risk appetite, heightened market risk aversion, or capital outflows.
