Market Analysis – ETH surged 20% on the news, is it still a good time to enter the market?

In the early morning of yesterday 5/21, a post from a Bloomberg analyst stated that the SEC's attitude toward Ethereum spot ETFs may change drastically. As soon as the news came out, ETH surged by more than 20% in one day, and the entire market was affected. Rising, BTC also rose by about 8% in one day. This news injected a boost into the decline of the entire cryptocurrency market for about two months. So far, ETH has once exceeded $3,800, and BTC has once exceeded $72,000. , there is currently a slight correction.

Originally, the market was mostly pessimistic about whether the SEC would approve the Ethereum spot ETF on 5/23. However, one of the reasons for such a big reversal may be attributed to political factors. The end of this year is the presidential election in the United States. In the increasingly fierce election, candidates from both parties will try their best to release bullish news to gain the support of voters. Recently, Republican presidential candidate Trump has been labeled as cryptocurrency-friendly, and he is also open to Cryptocurrency donations, in comparison, Democratic candidate Biden has not done much in the field of cryptocurrency. Therefore, it may be rumored that the ruling party wants to take this opportunity to pressure the SEC to approve bullish news related to cryptocurrency, and strive for more The support of cryptocurrency voters is why some macro analysts believe that the chances of passing the Ethereum spot ETF have greatly increased this time.

Looking back at this surge in ETH, in fact, there were some signs of ETH before the rise. The main force in Bitfinex ETH/BTC spot long leverage added positions again on 5/19. This is the first time since 3/11. Three large positions were added, and the increase was Bitfinex's largest in the past two years, which is equivalent to showing that the main force is optimistic about ETH. In addition, the technical aspect also shows that before breaking through the downward trend line, the 12-hour MACD indicator has diverged from the bottom multiple times, forming a bullish signal of bottom divergence. These two signals were also reminded in the GT Radar community before the rise. Yes, congratulations to those who noticed.

Judging from the current trend, it is not recommended for those who have not yet jumped on the bus to chase the rise of ETH now. First of all, ETH has less than 7% room left from the high of 4,100 US dollars before March this year. Even if it rises, the profit margin is relatively limited. Secondly, The above-mentioned Bitfinex main players have significantly reduced their positions and made profits. In addition, the market has already reflected the bullish news that the probability of passing the Ethereum spot ETF has greatly increased. Chasing ETH now is actually equivalent to betting on whether the 5/23 resolution will be passed. .

According to Bloomberg data, the Ethereum spot ETF applied by VanEck will usher in the final decision on May 23, U.S. time, while the Ethereum spot ETF applied by Ark and 21 Shares will usher in the final decision on May 24. Decision moment. If it passes, it will definitely rise, but if it does not pass, the short-term downward correction is certain, so it is recommended that contract players not to chase the rise now, but spot players can refer to entering a batch of spot goods now, and wait for the decision result to be released, whether it is passed or The postponement is confirmed to be a batch of entries, because judging from the current general trend, the market has taken the right direction, and the overall AltCoin market is likely to rise. GT Radar will also make position adjustments this week, turning the conservative mode into a positive mode.
