After plummeting below $41,000 the previous day as a result of the Matrixport FUD, the price of bitcoin increased by 3% on Thursday but then fell again.
Two days ago, VanEck, Grayscale, and Fidelity all submitted their applications to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to register their securities.
As a result of the SEC's meeting with the NYSE, NASDAQ, and CBOE exchanges to discuss the spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), the approval hype momentum is in full gear.
As a result of investors being aware of the false information that was behind the drop, the price of bitcoin has practically rebounded one day after the crash. On the other hand, the rationale for the false information was also dispelled as spot BTC ETF applicants made another step ahead in reassuring customers who are waiting for permission from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The Daily Digest Market Movers: Applicants for the Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund have submitted fresh applications
The 8-a forms for the registration of the securities were submitted on Thursday by VanEck and Grayscale, following in the footsteps of Fidelity, which had already done so. The applicants are not, contrary to what would seem to be the case, resubmitting their applications. This is something that should be taken into consideration.
This stage is a component of the procedure that necessitates the submission of this information by each and every application. This is done to guarantee that they do not overlook anything that might potentially impede their acceptance during the first wave, which is anticipated to take place between January 8 and 10.
As a result of the fact that it requires the applicant to include a description of the sort of securities that are being offered, data about the issue date, distribution date, and conditions, this document functions as a brochure for investors who are not very familiar with the investment product.
These submissions were made less than a day after the regulatory body had a meeting with the exchanges that were anticipated to assist in the launch of the investment products that the applicants had submitted. In order to get their feedback about the possibility of spot Bitcoin ETF approval, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) held meetings with the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), Nasdaq, and Cboe exchanges.
With all of these occurrences pointing in the direction of a bullish result, it is impossible to know for definite what will occur until it actually takes place.
Investors were alarmed when the price of Bitcoin dropped below $41,000 on Wednesday; but, as this article is being written, the cryptocurrency has recovered by 2.3% and is now trading at $44,234. This price movement is still, for the most part, fulfilling the bullish divergence that has been witnessed over the course of the preceding several days.
As a result, Bitcoin is on the right track and is expected to maintain the upward trend it is now experiencing in order to break beyond the $45,000 level before the spot BTC ETF approval. There is a possibility that it may encounter some resistance around $45,259; nevertheless, transforming it into a support floor would allow for further increase.
However, if the barrier is not broken, Bitcoin might retrace its steps to $44,000 or below, which would indicate that the short-term bullish argument is not supported.
