Who the heck knows what will cause bitcoin’s price to go up in the end? Too much people are betting on the halving and the ETF. What if bitcoin doesn’t immediately pump after these events? Bet longterm.
Nobody knows but as per the OP's point there seems to be a lot of speculative buying
based moreso on an imminent ETF approval than anything else.
Its ok IMO to bet on the halving, thats going to happen and the effect of it more than likely
wont happen straight away but betting on an ETF approval is really a gamble which will/may
result in a lot of people getting hurt.
I don't know why all this linking between the rise of Bitcoin and the approval of Bitcoin ETFs? Bitcoin has never been associated with this before and yet we have seen significant spikes many times in the past.
Of course, no one denies that approval of Bitcoin ETFs will have a significant positive impact on the market, but this does not mean, of course, that non-approval will lead to a decline in prices, nor does it mean that the rise in Bitcoin is linked only to the approval of Bitcoin ETFs.
Personally, I'm optimistic about a big rally for Bitcoin after halving next year whether Bitcoin ETFs are approved or not.
Nobody seems to be posting the saying "buy the hype, sell the news" it may happen that
the rise after an ETF approval wont be when a lot of people expect, it could be a
couple of weeks after the event!
I am also very positive about a rise from the halving next year but again it may not be
immediately after the event.
