Bitcoin, in today’s subdued Asian trading session, has shown promising signs of firmly grasping 30k level finally. Last week, the digital currency experienced a brief yet sharp ascent, triggered by a false report of the SEC approving a Bitcoin spot ETF. Although this ascent was short-lived, the subsequent pullback was moderate, underscoring the resilience of the ongoing rally.
Expectations surrounding the approval of a Bitcoin spot ETF continue to percolate through the crypto community. Most analysts harbor hopes for a green light sometime in 2023. The ephemeral spike in Bitcoin’s value last week underscores the market’s sensitivity to such developments, suggesting that potential approval is not yet fully accounted for in current prices. This dynamic could lead to heightened responsiveness to positive news, refocusing investor attention on cryptocurrencies ahead of the much-anticipated “halving” slated for April next year.
On the technical front, bullish sentiment in the near term is likely to prevail as long as 28071 support level remains intact, with eyes set on retesting 31815 high.
More comprehensive insights emerge when viewing the broader picture: robust support from 55 W EMA (now at 27115) coupled with 38.2% retracement of 15452 to 31815 at 25564 augments the bullish narrative.
Nevertheless, the real test lies ahead. For market enthusiasts to be convinced that Bitcoin’s “summer” is in full swing, a significant hurdle awaits. The cryptocurrency will need to convincingly break through long-term Fibonacci resistance at 38.2% retracement of 68986 to 15452 at 35901.
