1.It's true that a lot crypto investors are waiting for the Blackrock BTC ETF to be approved in order to start buying.
I don't think that this has anything to do with Bitcoin's intrinsic value. This is just a speculative bullish expectation.
Speculations have nothing to do with the intrinsic value of an asset. They just come and go.
2.The Bitcoin price went up by 10% for a short time frame. This isn't so impressive. We've seen the Bitcoin price doing way bigger ups in the past.
3.The possibility of a price crash/bearish market remains. Many "bears" are betting on a price drop, which will the "bull" on the market to lose money. There's no guarantee that the Blackrock Bitcoin ETF will be approved.
My addition, why should an investor who is interested in Bitcoin and believes Bitcoin is an investment instrument capable of providing exponential profits in the long term wait for the SEC to authorize a Bitcoin ETF?
Isn't now the right time for them to come in? discounted prices, and if a BTC ETF is accepted in the future then they will quickly make a profit.
In my opinion, this is not a problem of under value or ETF. However, it is clear that there is still not much interest in re-entering the Bitcoin market and FOMO is still not in action. Many retail and large fund holders (whales) still want the lowest price to come back in, plus many analysts still say that BTC still has the potential to fall in price because the price is still below MA200, which means it is still in a bearish trend.
I am sure that if BTC is able to make an optimistic breakout on the MA200 line, this signal will be conveyed and heard by whales, institutions and retail so that FOMO will form into a bullish mode.
*Is it possible that people are starting to worry because the current world conditions are full of war, economic instability makes them distrust foreign currency and stocks and then switch to gold and of course Bitcoin? And the moment is really right, the prices of gold and Bitcoin are rising right now.
