Bitcoin, trading at $28,538 at the time of writing, grabbed headlines on Monday due to a spike caused by fake reports. The cryptocurrency surged over 10% before dropping to $28,500, triggering a $86 million short-selling liquidation. Despite the truth emerging, the ETF saga continues. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is set to announce its decision regarding Fidelity, VanEck, and WisdomTree's spot ETF registrations on October 17 (today). According to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, approval might be delayed until January 2024.
Even in correction, Bitcoin may dip to $27,418, maintaining its leading position in the uptrend. However, losing this support, along with the 50, 100, and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), could invalidate the bullish case, pushing the cryptocurrency below $27,000 and towards $26,483.
Stay tuned for updates on Bitcoin's evolving situation.
