It seems that happens a lot, people front-run it, then it sells off briefly and then resumes its trek upwards.  It happened at one (or more?) of the halving where it went up in fiat terms beforehand and then when it didn't immediately pop higher, people said, "why not?" and sold.  Then within a few weeks/months it kept going up.  The best advice:  buy (or mine) some bitcoin and put it away and come back in a few years.  But people want get-rich-quick schemes.

Very true, and one can validate this on-chart.

<50k DCA, >50k enjoy the ride is my opinion.

I do have two qualms about this thread though:
- Since when does mainstream crypto news talk about future corrections with a motive to cause people to sell, or miss the gain?
- if the 15+ ETF applications are approved, wouldn't that create a race to accumulate Bitcoin between institutions?

I would think that if they are approved, yes it would.  In the short term afterwards, there could be a drop as the "sell the news" hits, but as people begin to invest using ETFs it should only increase demand.  Assuming of course they really do purchase and hold bitcoins.  These are big players though so one would think they'd be honest.  Of course, if you don't have the keys you are just a creditor so....

Well, it will only be a short correction just after the application was approved, but in the long-term that small recovery will be absorbed with the buy-in of the institutional investors.

I think most of these outrageous predictions priced in that there will be a small hype cycle and their predictions come from the long-term injection of the institutional investors.

Bitcoin prices should ‘logically’ correct in Jan, but crypto’s a ‘wild card’

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) should “logically” undergo a correction once spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are approved, though commentators also concede that crypto is a “wild card."

Bitcoin has been gaining momentum over the last 11 months, with a jump in March amid banking uncertainty, another spike in June when BlackRock filed for a spot Bitcoin ETF, and again in October, similarly due to optimism over spot Bitcoin ETF approvals.

On Dec. 3, Bitcoin cleared the $40,000 mark, its highest level in 19 months.

James Edwards, a cryptocurrency analyst at Finder, said that “logically,” the approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF should trigger a sell-off event. “I'd like to say that logically this makes it a sell-the-news type event.”

“Buy the rumor, sell the news” is a phrase that describes a situation where a stock or asset rises ahead of anticipated positive news or events but falls once the news is confirmed or the event occurs.

“The idea that this is going to lead to widespread institutional buying on day 1 is a bit too optimistic,” explained Edwards, adding it is unlikely fund managers will “ape in the moment it goes live.”

“It could be months – if not years – before we see truly groundbreaking inflows,” he added.
