The Coinbase premium gap dropped to -$64, indicating that Bitcoin is trading at a discount in the United States compared to global markets. Crypto Briefing reported that this decline reflects caution or selling pressure from US-based institutional investors, marking a negative streak of more than 77 consecutive days, the longest phase on record.

COIN closed at $185.74 on October 6, 2026, as traders monitor Bitcoin price levels between $62,000 and $63,000. According to Crypto Briefing, while the current -$64 reading is not the most extreme historical low—with previous dips reaching -$167.8—analysts at CryptoQuant and 10x Research interpret the prolonged negative trend as a sign of institutional liquidation or weakened demand.
