The market is moving gradually without any external influence, which means the real growth is happening. Bitcoin have broken the $40k barrier again and further it tends to break $43500 resistance zone. If that happens the market will tend to test the $45k long term resistance zone. Failing to broke the zone will take the price down to $40k, if not we'll see continued growth. The major reason for the ongoing market progress seems like to be the approval of first Bitcoin ETF by Australia Security Exchange and Commission.
Maybe this news has somewhat influence the price today:
https://cointelegraph.com/news/simplify-files-with-sec-for-bitcoin-strategy-risk-managed-income-etfAsset manager Simplify has filed a registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to list shares of an exchange-traded fund linked to Bitcoin futures, Treasury securities, and options.
In a Wednesday filing, Simplify applied with the SEC for an investment vehicle based on a Bitcoin (BTC) futures strategy, an income strategy, and an option overlay strategy. The Bitcoin Strategy Risk-Managed Income ETF, to be listed under the ticker MAXI on Nasdaq, is a series of exchange-traded funds from the asset management company.
The fund will indirectly invest in BTC using crypto futures and, as part of its income strategy, hold short-term U.S. Treasury securities and ETFs that invest in Treasury securities. For its option overlay strategy, Simplify said it would purchase “exchange-traded protective put options" and write "exchange-traded call options on Bitcoin futures and/or a Bitcoin related ETF or ETFs.”
Sot its good to hear that at least many are still interested on about ETF and all other stuff related to BTC. So it will be interesting if we can break $42,000 - $43,000 because this numbers could be the basis of another run before the end of this month.
