Trade Radar | Bitcoin PUMP! Are You Ready for the Ride?
Another Weekly Session with Loui, M+ Online Head of Research.
What happened? Last Monday, Bitcoin was having a super run towards the USD30k zone on the back of a false report of a spot ETF approval was posted on social app X (formerly known as Twitter). Quickly, the selling pressure picked up. - Coindesk (Bitcoin Jumps to $30K, Then Dumps, as False Spot ETF Approval Report Circulates)
Emergence of a Unique ID on DTCC. Again, another pump was seen yesterday when the iShares Bitcoin Trust was listed on the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC, which clears Nasdaq Trades). While it's not a guarantee of ETF approval, the fact that BlackRock is expressing confidence is certainly a positive indicator.
Positive vibe in the crypto space. Bitcoin trended positively and several other coins such as Polkadot (DOT) and Polygon (MATIC) are rising in tandem, while Ether (ETH) and Ripple-related coin (XRP) showed some momentum as well.
How can you benefit? Since the Bitcoin Spot ETF could be listed soon, we expect more trading activities around this crypto space and likely another PUMP is nearby. Traders may utilize the Crypto-related ETF for exposure within the segment.
