Weekly Preview: Top 5 Cryptos To Watch This Week

Despite the ongoing correction in the crypto market, opportunities abound for investors. In the spotlight this week is Bitcoin, but the world of altcoins is equally brimming with potential.

#1 Bitcoin (BTC) – The King Of Crypto

Bitcoin remains the bellwether of the crypto market, and its price action is once again expected to set the tone for the week. Grayscale’s GBTC ETF, which currently holds 566,973 BTC ($23.21B), is a key focal point. The ETF has seen outflows of approximately 52,227 BTC ($2.14 billion) since it was passed, leading to speculation about when these outflows will end.

Crypto analyst Ignas | DeFi Research pointed out the psychological impact of Grayscale’s continuous selling: “Grayscale’s continuous dumping every working day gave the market trauma. Now, everyone expects another BTC transfer from GBTC to Coinbase and BTC dumped in advance. A massive rebound awaits when that anticipated morning transfer never happens.”

Thus, the spot Bitcoin ETF flows in general (how can the “newborn nine” absorb the GBTC outflows) and the GBTC outflows particular will be key data points, which will determine the price trend this week. At press time, BTC was falling towards the 6-week low at $40,270.
