BTC strength shifts to US trading hours, reversing late 2025 trend

Bitcoin has been showing strength during U.S. market trading hours, a reversal from late last year when selling pressure was concentrated in that same period, CoinDesk reported. According to data from Velo, BTC has gained approximately 8% during U.S. hours and 3% during European hours year-to-date, while experiencing a slight decline during Asian trading hours. CoinDesk noted that this trend is not necessarily driven by U.S. investors, as prices have sometimes risen even with a negative Coinbase Premium, suggesting the influence of broader global investor activity.
