The Bitcoin market recently experienced a whirlwind of activity following a false claim of the approval of 11 spot ETFs, allegedly hacked from the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) X account. This misinformation led to a significant fluctuation in Bitcoin’s price, which initially soared from $46,800 to $48,000, only to crash to $45,000 within 20 minutes.
This incident has provided market analysts with valuable insights into how the market might react to potential Bitcoin spot ETF approvals in the short term. Experts from K33 Research, QCP Capital, and Daan Crypto Trades have shared their perspectives on the situation.
Vetle Lunde, a senior analyst at K33 Research, provided an in-depth analysis of the market’s reaction to the false announcement. He observed that the market’s immediate response indicated a tendency towards a ‘sell-the-news’ reaction. The initial surge in Bitcoin’s price was quickly met with a flood of long positions, causing a significant price fluctuation. Lunde also pointed out that until the SEC’s clarification, the market largely accepted the announcement at face value, triggering an organic reaction.
QCP Capital, in their “QCP Market Update – 10 Jan 24,” reflected on the bizarre nature of the event with a mix of humor and analysis. They pointed out the lukewarm initial reaction to the ‘approval,’ suggesting that the market might have already priced in the possibility of an actual ETF approval. QCP Capital also focused on the implications of this event for future market trends. Notably, the firm sees Bitcoin’s next support at $40,000 to $42,000, and resistance around 48.500.
Daan Crypto Trades provided a concise but insightful analysis. “The false ETF approval news was a litmus test for the market’s post-approval direction,” he commented. The analysis highlights the pattern of Bitcoin’s price spiking and then fully retracing following the fake announcement. Daan Crypto Trades also touched on the broader market implications, especially for the ETH/BTC ratio, which started rallying immediately after the fake announcement.
At press time, BTC traded at $45,346.
