Coinfomania and CoinTurk News EN both report a 90-day negative Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index but credit different individuals as the source of the observation.

What all sources agree on

  • Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index has recorded a 90-day negative streak.
  • The negative streak stretches from May 19 to August 16.
  • The index reading is close to -0.1% (Coinfomania states -0.1066%; CoinTurk News EN states 'close to -0.1%').
  • This is described as the longest such negative streak on record.
  • A negative index reflects Bitcoin trading at a discount on Coinbase relative to Binance, suggesting weaker U.S. buying demand.

What to make of it

Treat the 90-day negative streak, its date range, and the roughly -0.1% reading as established since both outlets agree on these figures; the identity of who first reported or is credited with the observation is unresolved, as the two accounts cannot both be correct.
