In what could be a pivotal day for the Bitcoin price, the last day for the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to appeal the Grayscale Bitcoin (BTC) spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETF) decision is approaching, and the crypto community is eagerly awaiting the outcome.
The implications of this decision are significant, as it could pave the way for the approval of several other spot Bitcoin ETFs.
Impending Approval Of All Proposed Bitcoin Spot ETFs?
to crypto YouTuber Crypto Rover, if the SEC does not appeal the court’s ruling by the end of the day, it would potentially lose its ability to deny future applications, resulting in the likely approval of all proposed spot ETFs.
The current list of applicants seeking approval includes prominent names such as Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, Ark/21 Shares Bitcoin Trust, Bitwise Bitcoin ETF Trust, BlackRock Bitcoin ETF Trust, VanEck Bitcoin Trust, WisdomTree Bitcoin Trust, Valkyrie Bitcoin Fund, Invesco Galaxy Bitcoin ETF, and Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Trust.
If all Bitcoin spot ETFs are approved, the move would mark a significant milestone in the mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies.
Accepting these financial instruments would provide investors with a regulated and easily accessible avenue to gain exposure to Bitcoin’s price movements without directly owning the underlying asset.
The approval would also vote for confidence in the cryptocurrency market, attracting institutional investors and potentially injecting fresh capital into the space.
The approval of Bitcoin spot ETFs also can ignite a renewed sense of optimism and investor sentiment. The anticipation of such a development has already fueled speculation of a Bitcoin rally, with market participants eyeing a new annual high.
The thawing of the crypto winter and the approval of these ETFs could create a perfect storm for a Bitcoin price to surge, potentially breaching the $30,000 mark and beyond.
Bitcoin Price Awaiting ETF Relief
The largest cryptocurrency in the market is striving to reclaim the crucial $27,000 level, trading at $26,700. This level holds significant importance for bullish investors as it represents a key threshold to break the mid-term downtrend structure observed in BTC’s 1-day chart since its yearly high of $31,800 on July 13
Additionally, the failure of the Bitcoin price to hold its 200-day (yellow line) and 50-day (brown line) moving averages (MAs) as support lines is a cause for concern among bullish traders. These MAs, similar to the situation in March 2023, are currently converging.
However, the potential approval of a BTC spot ETF could provide much-needed relief to Bitcoin’s price. Forming a complete rally would require overcoming various resistance levels in such a scenario.
In the short term, Bitcoin’s price will likely face a significant obstacle at the $27,900 level, which was briefly surpassed on October 2nd. Furthermore, BTC encounters a 3-month resistance at $28,700, marking the final hurdle before reaching the $30,000 level, serving as another resistance line.
Nevertheless, the community anxiously awaits the approval of BTC spot ETFs, hoping that it will bring a sense of relief and bullish momentum for investors and Bitcoin’s price.
