In a significant turn of events, just two days after the United States unveiled a $4.3 billion settlement plan with leading cryptocurrency exchange Bina Holdings, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) surged to a fresh yearly high, surpassing the $38,000 mark during the early New York trading session on Friday. The cryptocurrency market had been eagerly awaiting a breakout, with Bitcoin’s recent consolidation in a pennant pattern signaling the potential for a bullish move.

Bitcoin’s Impressive Rally
Friday’s breakout in Bitcoin’s price has ignited a sense of excitement among traders, leading to renewed FOMO (fear of missing out) sentiment. This surge has set the stage for Bitcoin to potentially target the next significant resistance level at around $42,000 in the coming weeks.#BTC #Onchain #cbdc

Are Bitcoin ETFs good for adoption or ‘watered-down crypto’? Debate rages

As hype builds for spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S., some are concerned the industry is moving away from the “core promise” of cryptocurrencies.
CoinList founder Andy Bromberg believes that spot Bitcoin (BTC $36,155) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are just “watered down crypto” and a sign the industry is heading in the wrong direction, amid growing hype over potential ETF approvals in the United States.

Bromberg — also CEO of payments-focused wallet app Beam — told Cointelegraph: “If a Bitcoin ETF is considered crypto, we’ve failed as an industry.”

He said a Bitcoin ETF would “absolutely” be a net positive for crypto adoption but asserted the space’s success comes from helping people self-custody assets and decouple from the traditional finance system — the antithesis of a TradFi ETF.

“If crypto adoption happens mostly through ETFs and similar centralized financial instruments, then the core promises of the technology won’t be realized — decentralization and true ownership.”
Bromberg’s take is contrary to the prevailing sentiment of excitement around the potential for spot ETFs to bring in institutional money. Some predict ETFs could see Bitcoin’s market capitalization double and the price hit $150,000 by the end of 2024.

CoinShares head of research James Butterfill told Cointelegraph that setting up a wallet for safe self-custody was still a daunting task for many non-tech-savvy institutional and retail investors. He believes an ETF will improve market access and will “help further democratize Bitcoin.”

“Self-custody simply isn’t possible for many institutional funds, as it steps outside the regulated framework they must operate in,” Butterfill said, adding that it’s also the case for some retail investors.#BTC #Blur

Top 3 Price Prediction Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple: BTC holds up as US DoJ clears path to spot ETF approval

Bitcoin price must hold above the critical support at $36,788 to keep hope for a continuation of the intermediate trend alive.
The $1,935 support level continues to hold for Ethereum price but the slump is likely to continue 5% lower.
Ripple price extends south, invalidating the bullish thesis with the potential for a further 8% slump to $0.5392.
Bitcoin (BTC) price remains bearish, but there is hope, after the US Department of Justice may just have cleared the path for the approval of spot BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs). According to some analysts, one of the stumbling blocks to the approval was the dominance of Bina exchange in the industry.

Bitcoin price tests key support:

Bitcoin (BTC) price is showing weakness, recording a 3% fall on the day, with most of these losses recorded following news around Bina exchange. Testing the critical support at $36,788 and with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) showing weakening momentum, BTC could fall.
Conversely, increased buying pressure from investors looking to capitalize on the retest of $36,788 could send Bitcoin price north, first clearing the local top at $37,972 before testing the range high at $37,980 and ultimately claiming the $40,000 psychological level, 10% above current levels.#BTC $BTC

Dogecoin has been on the radar of many top crypto analysts over the last few weeks because its indicators have been flashing bullish for the longest time. The meme coin has also not performed at the same level as some other altcoins, hence the widespread belief that it will see a delayed but explosive move. One of the analysts who envision a big blowout for the meme coin is Alan Santana who took to TradingView to share his bullish sentiment for the DOGE price.

Mapping Out The 6-Month Timeframe For Dogecoin

In the analysis that was posted on TradingView, crypto analyst Alan Santana put the Dogecoin price breakout on a six-month timeframe. According to Santana, this is a likely timeframe that the meme coin’s price will see the much-anticipated recovery. But what’s even more interesting is the price target that the analyst has set out for the altcoin.

There are three targets mapped out over this timeframe with each one higher than the last. The first target here is a 70% move up from its current price level that could bring the meme coin above $0.1 finally and as high as $0.136 for a start.

The next target from this 70% move lies just above $0.15. Hitting this target would mean DOGE’s price moves 94% from its present value, and this target is one that other analysts have expected Dogecoin to hit soon$$BTC #Blur #BTC #etf

Bitcoin (BTC) price reclaimed $37,000 on Monday as the crypto market started the week strongly and with investors regaining confidence in the market. On-chain analysis identifies the key reasons that could propel BTC prices higher this week.

Bitcoin was up 1.77% and was halfway to the vaunted $38,000 level at the time of writing, with its trading volume soaring 21% to a little over $14 billion. The recent gains in the crypto’s price have also helped it to erase some of its recent losses, as evidenced by a surge of around 0.55% in its price over the last seven days.

Anticipation Of Bitcoin ETF Nod
This increase is a reflection of the mar#BTC #Blur #Blur ket’s rising hope for the US government to approve a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund. But the SEC is still on the fence, putting off judgments on many Bitcoin ETF proposals until 2024.

Bitcoin (BTC) continues to generate significant discussion on social media, despite the SEC failing to meet the designated eight-day timeframe for approving spot Bitcoin ETFs.

Bitcoin is trading right at the 36,500 dollar resistance - but what's really interesting, is that BTC is doing so in the shape of an ascending triangle, a bullish pattern.

But it gets even more interesting: Not only is Bitcoin about to break out of this triangle, but today is also Saturday. This means that we might very well be about to see some volatility on this weekend as well.

Bitcoin used to have its normal volatility on weekends, but that pretty much stopped around a year ago. Getting this volatility back on weekends would, in my opinion, indicate that the market is attracting more interest again.#etf #BTC #Nocturne

#BTC #The loudest investor chatter for months has insisted the heavyweights of the Nasdaq have been everything to the market in 2023. We hear much less about how they've done less than nothing over the past two years. Sunday is the second anniversary of the all-time closing high in both the Nasdaq Composite and Nasdaq 100 indexes, which remain 12% and 4 % underwater even after their monster gains in recent months. It's relatively rare for the Nasdaq 100 – the most easily investable part of the Nasdaq and the one most reflective of the mega-cap dominance – to enter a two-year downturn. The recent phase is the third such episode in nearly 30 years, the prior two being the gutting payback for the still-singular tech bubble and the market-wide carnage of the global financial crisis. As this plot I commissioned from YCharts shows, even at the Covid-crash low, the NDX was merely flat – and almost exactly so, on March 16, 2020 – over the prior two years. This doesn't mean the index must levitate from here, of course. But it's a reminder that with its 45% surge year to date, its near-record outperformance over the average stock and the weighting of the top six Nasdaq names within the S & P 500 up above 27%, most of the move has been a carom effect from the outsized 36% decline into its December 2022 trough. The market looks a lot less top-heavy and stingy over a two-year span, the NDX outperforming the equal-weight S & P 500 by seven percentage points compared to the 42-percentage-point advantage in 2023. QQQ RSP mountain 2021-11-17 Invesco QQQ Trust vs. Invesco S & P Equal Weight ETF Of course, the Nasdaq is simply an amplified version of the overall market, which is also in pretty rare territory sitting on slightly negative two-year performance. Citi chief investment strategist Scott Chronert points out the S & P 500's rolling two-year return "ranks in the 16 th percentile based on a 30-year look-back," which he believes explains the muted character.

#ETH The SEC Has Engaged With Exchanges Over Spot ETFs’: Reports

In recent developments, Eric Balchunas, Bloomberg’s senior ETF analyst, took to social media and opened up about the ongoing discussions between the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and exchanges regarding spot Bitcoin ETF applications.

Balchunas noted that the SEC’s Trading & Markets division has been actively involved in talks with exchanges this week, specifically addressing 19b-4s related to spot Bitcoin ETFs.

The SEC is reportedly advising exchanges to opt for cash creates, as opposed to in-kind transactions, and has encouraged them to submit amendments in the coming weeks. While not entirely unexpected, this engagement is viewed as a positive sign for the industry.

Following these latest developments, the price of Bitcoin experienced an $800 spike. Balchunas explained that the SEC’s preference for cash creates, makes sense because broker-dealers are restricted from dealing directly in Bitcoin.

Opting for cash creates, places the responsibility on ETF issuers to transact in Bitcoin, eliminating the need for broker-dealers to involve unregistered subsidiaries or third-party firms when dealing with Bitcoin.

He wrote on X, “Only 2-3 filers had planned cash creates, the rest wanted to do in-kind. So may have to adjust or risk delay. Anyway, this doesn’t change our 90% odds up or down but is good sign the process marching and SEC has a path fwd in the plumbing that they are comfortable with.”

Balchunas pointed out that, initially, only 2-3 filers had planned to use cash creates, while the majority preferred in-kind transactions.
This may necessitate adjustments for those seeking to adhere to the SEC’s guidance or face potential delays in their applications. He clarified that while these developments don’t significantly alter the 90% probability for or against spot Bitcoin ETF approval, they indicate positive progress in the SEC’s approach and comfort level with the evolving landscape.

#Rune #crypto Solana (SOL) has emerged as a standout performer, recently reaching a new yearly high following a staggering 13% daily surge. The blockchain network has exhibited an impressive 30-day return profile, boasting over a 170% gain. Although SOL touched a 2023 peak on Nov. 10, its price still lingers at approximately four times below its all-time high of $259.96.Notably, Solana’s meteoric rise has outpaced other major cryptocurrencies. This exceptional growth is attributed to various factors. This includes increased user activity and the success of decentralized applications (dApps) like Jito.At press time, SOL was trading at $65.40 with a 13.6% daily rise.Solana’s Surging Growth:The driving force behind Solana’s recent price surge lies in its growing user base, fueled by the success of Jito. This is a top-performing decentralized application on the SOL blockchain. The liquidity staking platform has played a pivotal role in attracting users, contributing to SOL’s daily active users hitting the 2023 high, reaching an impressive 200,000. Concurrently, SOL’s revenue has surpassed $1 million in the last 30 days, reflecting a substantial 78.2% increase.Jito’s success on the Solana blockchain has become a key catalyst for the platform’s overall growth.Cathie Wood’s Endorsement:Solana’s momentum received a notable boost when ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood commended the network’s efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Notably, Wood highlighted Solana’s speed and cost-effectiveness, comparing it favorably to Ethereum.Wood emphasized that Solana is even faster and more cost-effective than Ethereum. She went on to underscore its potential to outperform not only traditional cryptocurrencies but also established blockchain networks.

Bitcoin Price Needs To Hold $36,400
In a subsequent post, crypto analyst Ali Martinez revealed that the Bitcoin price had finally found support at $36,400 after it recovered. However, the bulls are not entirely out of the woods as they need to maintain the $36,400 support and risk falling lower.Martinez posits that if the price were to break below $36,400, then the next significant level for demand rests at $34,300. This would mean an about 5% plunge from the current levels. But it doesn’t end there as a further plunge could take the price back to $30,200.For now, Bitcoin is holding steady above $36,600 which is a good sign. The volume has also seen a 39% increase, bringing it above the $18 billion mark, suggesting that investors took advantage of the dip to load their bags. If the excitement surrounding a possible Spot BTC ETF sustains, then the price could resume its uptrend above $37,000 soon$BTC #sol #

Bitcoin’s Short-Term Rally Sparks Discussions Among Investors

BTC Analysis from Crypto Analyst

Bitcoin’s Historical Rallies

Bitcoin Price Analysis

Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a short-term rally that pushed its price above $35,000. This surge has sparked discussions among investors about how long the upward trend will continue as BTC sets its sights on the next all-time high.

BTC Analysis from Crypto Analyst

Crypto analyst CryptoCon shared a tweet highlighting Bitcoin’s recent encounter with a rare breakout indicator and the possibility of a significant historical movement.

According to CryptoCon, this indicator, which is associated with short-term downward trends and breakouts, has only occurred for the second time in the current cycle, making it an exceptional situation.

Historically, such events have preceded significant movements in the cryptocurrency market, and some of the most notable bull runs in Bitcoin’s history have occurred after these types of movements.

This not only typically indicates good things in the short term, but also marks the beginning of all major historical movements.

The breakout indicator may not only be interpreted as a positive sign for the short term but also as an indicator for the beginning of significant historical movements in the direction of BTC.

Nearly 40 million Bitcoin addresses now in profit

According to on-chain analytics firm Glassnode, as of October 30th, the number of Bitcoin addresses in profit reached a historic high of 39.1 million. This milestone surpasses the previous peak of 38.1 million recorded in November 2021 when Bitcoin was trading at its all-time highs.

Interestingly, this surge in profitable addresses has occurred even though Bitcoin’s spot price remains significantly lower than its peak levels. The total number of non-zero balance Bitcoin addresses is currently 48.3 million, suggesting that nearly 81.1% of these addresses are in profit – a level not seen in the past 18 months.
This shift towards profitability has been swift, with the percentage of in-profit addresses surging from 60% to 80% over the last two months. On the flip side, the number of addresses at a loss has decreased to just over 9 million, a significant drop from over 20 million recorded in December 2022, post the FTX meltdown.

The past week has seen Bitcoin’s price action break through multiple resistance levels, returning both long-term and short-term holders to profit. This has triggered profit-taking, particularly as Bitcoin surpassed the $34,000 mark.

James Van Straten, a research and data analyst at CryptoSlate, highlighted the difference in mentality between different types of investors. He noted, “Bitcoin has shown remarkable strength above $34k for the past five days while witnessing one of the strongest profit-takings in the past two years, from short-term holders.”

The crypto community is looking toward the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the possibility of approving the first BTC spot exchange-traded fund in the US.

Companies intending to operate the ETFs have been working around the clock over the last couple of weeks modifying their proposals ahead of the potential approvals.

While greenlighting the first Bitcoin spot ETFs is not guaranteed, reports have indicated that the SEC would be inclined to make the approvals to avoid possible lawsuits.

The agency has already suffered a related blow in a lawsuit against Grayscale, the largest digital asset fund manager. Grayscale sued the SEC for declining to approve the conversion of its Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) product to a BTC spot ETF and won the case.The fact that the agency did not appeal the ruling that gave Grayscale the node to seek regulatory approval for the spot ETF, implies that the approval is around the corner.

In a couple of reports, analysts at JP Morgan predicted that the SEC could give the first node within the next few months. The investment bank also warned that the SEC could face multiple lawsuits if it fails to approve the ETFs.

Bitcoin price flipped bullish around mid-October following fake news purporting that the SEC had approved an ETF proposal by BlackRock.

The largest crypto ascended above $30,000, lifting the rest of the market in the process. BTC achieved a new 2023 high slightly above $35,000 although it pulled back to test support at $34,000 ahead of the next breakout targeting highs above $30,000.

A bull market occurs when security prices rise persistently over a period of time. If a market index rises an average of 20% or more over two months, the pros consider the trend to indicate a bull market.
Bull markets are accompanied by periods of economic growth and optimism among investors.Another strategy many crypto investors employ is dollar-cost averaging, in which you'd invest a set amount of money (say $50) every week or month, whether the asset is rising or falling. This distributes your risk and allows you to invest through bull and bear markets alike
