Bitcoin (BTC) Trading Among US-Based Investors Declines
Bitcoin’s (BTC) price troubles have reduced trading activity on the leading cryptocurrency exchange, Coinbase.
This is measured by the coin’s Coinbase Premium Index (CPI), which has dipped into negative territory.
American Investors Reduce Their Exposure
On-chain data show that Bitcoin’s Coinbase Premium Index is -0.003 at press time. This metric measures the difference between BTC’s prices on Coinbase and Binance.
When its value grows, it suggests significant buying activity by US-based investors on Coinbase. Conversely, when it declines and dips into the negative territory, it signals less trading activity on the US-based exchange.
Confirming this, the coin’s Coinbase Premium Gap (CPG) trends similarly. As of this writing, BTC’s CPG is -2.1%. When BTC’s CPG is negative, it indicates a decline in buying pressure from US-based investors on the exchange.
In a recent interview with BeinCrypto, Julio Moreno, the Head of Research at CryptoQuant, confirmed low BTC trading activity amongst US-based investors. According to Moreno
“US investor demand for Bitcoin has entered negative territory as measured by our Inter-exchange Flow Pulse (IFP) indicator. US investor demand growth is associated with higher Bitcoin prices.”
This metric measures the movement of BTCs between spot and derivative exchanges to gauge investor sentiment and potential future price trends.
When it rises, it is a bullish signal. It suggests that more coins are flowing from spot exchanges to derivative exchanges. It means that BTC holders are becoming more risk-tolerant and potentially positioning themselves for price increases through leverage.
On the other hand, when the coin’s IFP falls, it is a bearish signal that shows the flow of coins out of derivative exchanges and back to spot exchanges. It means that investors are selling their holdings or withdrawing from leveraged positions.

As of this writing, BTC’s IFP is declining at 649,500, and its price is currently below the 90-day average. A similar trend occurred between December 14, 2023, and February 24, 2024, after which the coin’s price corrected from $46,000 to a low of $39,000.
BTC Price Prediction: Is the Next Price Level Under $58,000?
At press time, BTC trades at $58,633. Still trailed by significant bearish sentiments, the leading coin risks falling below the $58,000 price level again.
According to readings from the coin’s Parabolic Stop and Reverse (SAR), the indicator’s dots lie above BTC’s price, and they have been so positioned since July 4.
This indicator measures an asset’s price trends and potential reversal points. When its dots lie above an asset’s price, the market is said to be in a decline. It indicates that the asset’s price has been falling and may continue to do so.
If the decline continues, BTC’s price may drop to $57,983.
However, if buying activity surges, the coin’s price may rally to $59,737.

Exploring Hottest New Coins: FINE, CHILLGUY, and CHILLFAM
New coins such as FINE, launched three days ago, have seen their market cap reach $2.5 million. CHILLGUY, driven by TikTok hype, has amassed 120,000 holders and achieved $129 million in daily trading volume.
CHILLFAM, following in CHILLGUY’s footsteps, has quickly reached a $10 million market cap with a 300% price surge, showing the potential for continued interest in these emerging tokens.
This Is Fine (FINE)
FINE, launched on Pumpfun just three days ago and now graduated into Raydium, is attempting to capitalize on the growing trend of coins paired with animated video.
As of this writing, the coin boasts over 26,000 holders and a market cap of $2.5 million. However, it has experienced a steep decline, dropping more than 50%. If FINE can stabilize after this sharp drop, it may present an attractive entry point for traders eyeing a potential recovery.
FINE’s RSI is 35, indicating that it is approaching the oversold zone. This suggests that selling pressure may be reaching an extreme, potentially setting the stage for a reversal or bounce if buying interest returns. However, the current bearish momentum highlights the need for caution before expecting a recovery.
Just a chill guy (CHILLGUY)
CHILLGUY, a Solana-based meme coin that gained popularity through TikTok, has quickly risen to prominence in less than a week. The coin’s rapid adoption is evident in its impressive metrics, boasting over 120,000 holders and amassing 112,000 transactions per day.
The coin’s daily trading volume has surpassed $129 million, showcasing substantial market activity and strong interest from traders. This level of engagement highlights CHILLGUY’s potential to sustain its momentum if the hype continues to drive liquidity and participation.
CHILLGUY’s RSI sits at 52.3, indicating a neutral zone where neither buyers nor sellers have a dominant edge. This balanced sentiment suggests the market is stabilizing after initial volatility, leaving room for the token to move in either direction depending on future market activity and demand.
Chill Family (CHILLFAM)
CHILLFAM, inspired by the success of CHILLGUY, was launched just two days ago. With nearly 58,000 holders and a daily trading volume of $55 million, the token is gaining traction among meme coins enthusiasts on Solana.
Currently boasting a $10 million market cap, CHILLFAM has surged almost 300% in 24 hours, highlighting strong early interest. If it can maintain this momentum and sustain its $10 million market cap, the coin could potentially aim for $15 million or even $20 million.
CHILLFAM’s RSI is at 43, suggesting that the token is in a slightly bearish to neutral zone. This level indicates that the recent rally may be cooling off, providing a period of consolidation. If buying interest returns, it could reignite bullish momentum and push CHILLFAM toward higher valuations.

XRP To Hit $40 In 3 Months But On This Condition – Analyst
XRP remains one of the crypto market’s current trailblazers rising by 23.21% in the past 24 hours. Over the last two weeks, the prominent altcoin has recorded a 154% price gain establishing itself as the sixth-largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of $89.82 billion. With this current momentum and the crypto bull season still in its early stages, analysts remain highly bullish on XRP’s potential to reach lofty price levels.
Can XRP Repeat 2017 Historical Price Movement?
In an X post on November 22, an analyst with the username CryptoBull stated that XRP could trade at $40 over the next three months if the token mirrors its first prominent price surge from 2017.
Data from CoinMarketCap shows that XRP rose $0.006 to a market peak of $0.33 in early 2017, representing a 5,400% gain. Considering its recent price rally, the altcoin may be gathering momentum to reproduce such price movement in a highly anticipated crypto bull run, especially considering recent happenings.
Most notably, popular anti-crypto Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Gary Gensler recently announced his intentions to resign on January 20, a move largely behind the current bullish sentiment among XRP investors considering the Commission’s long-lasting regulatory battle with Ripple. In fact, Gensler’s decision to leave the SEC has been described as the “best thing” for Ripple, which holds significant weight for XRP’s future.
Gensler’s resignation coincides with the inauguration of pro-crypto incoming US President-Elect Donald Trump who has promised to introduce a more friendly approach to digital asset regulation in the US. Aside from XRP finally being free from the regulatory scrutiny of the SEC, the potential introduction of a spot ETF under Trump’s pro-crypto regime also contributes to bullish sentiments on the altcoin’s profitability.
According to CryptoBull, if XRP follows its price explosion from early 2017, the token is expected to hit a price target of $1.96 in November, $6.30 in December, and $40 in January.
Price Resistance Levels In XRP’s Dream Surge
While XRP presents much potential for a high price target, CryptoBull predicts the token to face significant resistance at the $1.96 price region. If buying pressure proves sufficient to move past this level, the analyst expects XRP to confront another resistance at $3.84 which represents the token’s current all-time high price.
Considering the current robust bullish sentiments in the market, the altcoin is likely to move past these highlighted resistance levels. However, the token’s Relative Strength Index remains far in the overbought zone (91.73) indicating significant potential for a price pullback.
At the time of writing, XRP continues to trade at $1.78 reflecting a 79.57% gain in the past week. Meanwhile, the token’s daily trading volume is up by 103.57% and valued at $20.29 billion.

Kraken Eyes Token Expansion as Trump Promises Crypto Support
Kraken, one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges, has announced plans to list 19 new tokens, including a range of popular meme coins, and to integrate three additional blockchains.
This development has sparked optimism across the crypto industry, with many anticipating a more favorable environment for token listings under the incoming Trump administration.
Kraken Plans to List 19 Tokens and Integrate 3 Blockchains
According to its recently published tradeable asset roadmap, Kraken will add the Binance Smart Chain, dYdX, and Arweave blockchains to its platform. Each integration will include support for the native tokens of these networks.
“Kraken lists BNB,” Binance founder Changpeng Zhao stated.
In addition to these three, Kraken plans to list 16 other tokens, primarily meme coins. Some of the notable additions include FWOG, TRUMP, NEIRO, DOGS, GOAT, PNUT, MOODENG, and COW, alongside eight others. These tokens belong to blockchains already integrated into Kraken’s ecosystem.
However, the exchange clarified that listing plans are not guaranteed. Funding and trading for these tokens will only begin after an official announcement through Kraken Pro’s account on X. The company warned that Depositing tokens prematurely could result in losses.
Kraken’s planned token expansion comes at a time when the exchange is navigating legal challenges. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has accused Kraken of operating an unregistered securities exchange and offering staking services in violation of federal laws. The exchange has been actively defending itself against these allegations.
Despite regulatory hurdles, crypto industry stakeholders are optimistic that the incoming administration will ease restrictions on token listings. Many believe President-elect Trump’s pro-crypto stance could pave the way for a more supportive regulatory environment. Expectations include a clear regulatory framework, the potential establishment of a Bitcoin reserve, and a departure from the SEC’s regulation-by-enforcement approach.
Already, major US exchanges are capitalizing on the growing market optimism to expand their token listings. Coinbase recently listed PEPE and FLOKI, leveraging the ongoing meme coin trend.
Similarly, Robinhood expanded its offerings by adding tokens that the SEC previously described as securities — XRP, Cardano, and Solana. These moves reflect a broader effort by exchanges to capture market momentum and cater to diverse investor interests.
