Bitcoin appears to be entering a period of consolidation following a brief burst of upward momentum earlier this week. After reaching nearly $86,000, the cryptocurrency has retraced slightly and is trading around $84,650 at the time of writing.
Despite the pullback, analysts continue to monitor on-chain data to assess whether renewed buying pressure could support a more sustained recovery.
One of those analysts, CryptoQuant contributor Avocado Onchain, recently shared his insights in a post titled “Coinbase Premium Signals Signs of Recovery Amid Market Turmoil, While Korea Premium Index Remains Lagging.”
Avocado noted that escalating trade tensions between the US and China have added volatility to global markets, including Bitcoin. As gold rallies in response to the risk-off environment, Bitcoin has managed to hold above a critical support level after undergoing a more than 30% correction.
Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Tightens While Korea Lags
According to Avocado, the Coinbase Premium, which measures the price difference between Bitcoin on Coinbase and other major exchanges, has begun to show a constructive pattern. The analyst wrote:
Since the beginning of the prolonged correction in March 2024, the Coinbase Premium has displayed a pattern of compressing highs and lows. This was followed by a sharp rise in buying activity on Coinbase, causing the premium to spike and Bitcoin’s price to surge.
Currently, the premium is once again narrowing into a triangle pattern of lower highs and higher lows. Avocado interprets this as a potential precursor to renewed upside momentum in the market, similar to past cycles.
“This pattern suggests that institutional and US-based demand is recovering, even as overall market conditions remain unstable,” he added. In contrast, the Korea Premium Index, which tracks the price spread between Korean exchanges and global averages, has shown a weaker profile.
Avocado explained that this index trended lower throughout 2024 and only began to rise after Bitcoin had already started to rally, indicating delayed participation from Korean retail investors.
This divergence between the two metrics highlights a shift in regional market leadership, with US investors currently taking a more proactive role.
Highlighting the Role of Regional Indicators in Market Recovery
In his analysis, Avocado concluded that although macroeconomic uncertainty continues to influence short-term movements, indicators like the Coinbase Premium are showing signs of healthy demand. He pointed to the ongoing formation of a support base near $84,000 as a positive development in market structure.
“Although overall market conditions remain unstable, the upward trend in the Coinbase Premium’s lows indicates healthy demand,” he noted. “This bodes well for a potentially strong mid- to long-term recovery in Bitcoin’s price trajectory.”

Meet Samuel Edyme, Nickname – HIM-buktu. A web3 content writer, journalist, and aspiring trader, Edyme is as versatile as they come. With a knack for words and a nose for trends, he has penned pieces for numerous industry player, including AMBCrypto, Blockchain.News, and Blockchain Reporter, among others.
Edyme’s foray into the crypto universe is nothing short of cinematic. His journey began not with a triumphant investment, but with a scam. Yes, a Ponzi scheme that used crypto as payment roped him in. Rather than retreating, he emerged wiser and more determined, channeling his experience into over three years of insightful market analysis.
Before becoming the voice of reason in the crypto space, Edyme was the quintessential crypto degen. He aped into anything that promised a quick buck, anything ape-able, learning the ropes the hard way. These hands-on experience through major market events—like the Terra Luna crash, the wave of bankruptcies in crypto firms, the notorious FTX collapse, and even CZ’s arrest—has honed his keen sense of market dynamics.
When he isn’t crafting engaging crypto content, you’ll find Edyme backtesting charts, studying both forex and synthetic indices. His dedication to mastering the art of trading is as relentless as his pursuit of the next big story. Away from his screens, he can be found in the gym, airpods in, working out and listening to his favorite artist, NF. Or maybe he’s catching some Z’s or scrolling through Elon Musk’s very own X platform—(oops, another screen activity, my bad…)
Well, being an introvert, Edyme thrives in the digital realm, preferring online interaction over offline encounters—(don’t judge, that’s just how he is built). His determination is quite unwavering to be honest, and he embodies the philosophy of continuous improvement, or “kaizen,” striving to be 1% better every day. His mantras, “God knows best” and “Everything is still on track,” reflect his resilient outlook and how he lives his life.
In a nutshell, Samuel Edyme was born efficient, driven by ambition, and perhaps a touch fierce. He’s neither artistic nor unrealistic, and certainly not chauvinistic. Think of him as Bruce Willis in a train wreck—unflappable. Edyme is like trading in your car for a jet—bold. He’s the guy who’d ask his boss for a pay cut just to prove a point—(uhhh…). He is like watching your kid take his first steps. Imagine Bill Gates struggling with rent—okay, maybe that’s a stretch, but you get the idea, yeah. Unbelievable? Yes. Inconceivable? Perhaps.
Edyme sees himself as a fairly reasonable guy, albeit a bit stubborn. Normal to you is not to him. He is not the one to take the easy road, and why would he? That’s just not the way he roll. He has these favorite lyrics from NF’s “Clouds” that resonate deeply with him: “What you think’s probably unfeasible, I’ve done already a hundredfold.”
PS—Edyme is HIM. HIM-buktu. Him-mulation. Him-Kardashian. Himon and Pumba. He even had his DNA tested, and guess what? He’s 100% Him-alayan. Screw it, he ate the opp.
