Bitcoin Updates: American Bitcoin Holders Pull Back While Asian Markets Strengthen Amid Changing Crypto Liquidity
- Coinbase's Bitcoin premium index hit -0.0499% on Nov 19, its widest negative level since Q1 2025, reflecting U.S. selling pressure and institutional profit-taking. - U.S. Bitcoin ETFs saw $2.47B in redemptions (63% of total outflows) as prices fell to 7-month lows, contrasting with rising Asian liquidity in spot markets. - Asian markets absorbed BTC inflows while U.S. capital retreated, signaling geographic liquidity reallocation rather than structural demand decline. - Macroeconomic factors including fa

The next few weeks will be pivotal in determining whether this correction is a temporary adjustment or the start of a longer bearish trend.
