ETHEREUM Binance Inflows Could Be Preparation for the FED Decision
Recently, there have been approximately 55,471 ETH in inflows to Binance and 47,596 ETH in outflows. In other words, we see net inflows of 7,875 ETH outweighing outflows. This means that the amount of ETH available for sale on Binance increased that day, and short term selling pressure may have risen slightly. The recent downward trend in the price also proves this. The recent decline in both flows suggests that trading and transfer activity may have quieted down. The cumulative number of transactions to the Ethereum 2.0 deposit contract continues to rise steadily. Although this is not a direct indicator of demand for ETH, it suggests that the network’s active use holds promise. On the macroeconomic front, the U.S. 10 year Treasury yield is around 4.97%, and oil prices remain high. Higher bond yields and inflation concerns may limit appetite for risk assets that do not generate yield. In addition, markets are cautious ahead of the Fed’s decision on October 28; interest rate expectations and bond movements may increase volatility in liquidity-sensitive assets such as crypto. For this reason, if net inflows continue throughout the week, ETF outflows persist, and bond yields remain high, selling pressure could intensify. The risk would increase if the price fails to hold the approximately $2,280–$2,300 area toward the end of October. The net inflow at the end of the chart is slightly negative in the short term; while the cumulative Ethereum 2.0 line is positive for long term network activity, it does not help the market today. Given the price decline throughout October, ETF outflows, and the upcoming Fed decision, it seems more consistent to take downside risks more seriously for now and wait for confirmation in flows and price before assuming a recovery.

Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap Falls to Five-Month Low, Signaling Weaker US Demand
The Coinbase Premium Gap indicator recorded a negative value of -$118.49, coinciding with Bitcoin trading at approximately $80,000, its lowest level in five months. This reading reflects a lower Bitcoin price on Coinbase compared to Binance, indicating a widening negative price gap between the two exchanges. The indicator measures the absolute price difference between an asset on Coinbase Pro, traded against the US dollar (USD), and its price on Binance, traded against the USDT stablecoin. It expresses this difference in dollar terms rather than as a percentage. When the reading is positive and the gap widens, Bitcoin is priced higher on Coinbase than on Binance, potentially reflecting stronger relative demand from US-based market participants, including institutional investors and traders using USD-denominated markets. Conversely, when the gap narrows or turns negative, it may indicate weakening demand from US market participants relative to those trading on Binance. This can result from reduced buying activity or increased selling pressure among participants using USD-denominated markets. The current reading of -$118.49 indicates that Bitcoin is priced relatively higher on Binance than on Coinbase, suggesting weaker relative demand on Coinbase. However, the indicator alone cannot determine whether this is driven by reduced buying activity or increased selling pressure. persistent negative readings may reflect relatively weaker demand on Coinbase compared to Binance, while a narrowing gap or a return to positive territory could signal an improvement in relative demand. Monitoring these indicators alongside trading volumes, ETF flows, and derivatives data can provide a more comprehensive view of Bitcoin market conditions. Written by Arab Chain
