Ugh. I've been hearing rumors and news and speculation about bitcoin ETFs for years now, so much so that I just tune it all out at this point--though I did just read about a new one in Hong Kong on a financial news site (see below). But whether that one or any others come into existence, the factors that influence the price of bitcoin have always been opaque at best. Sometimes bad news is greeted with a huge bump, and other times bitcoin drops or does nothing when there's some kind of fantastic news story (or a halving for that matter).
Speaking of halvenings, I'm not sure what the market is going to do at any point in the future, but there certainly wasn't a new ATH reached right after this last one. It was reached before, and I have no clue if the two events are even related. I don't see why they ought to be, but that seems to be the common perception around here.
And on what I find to be an amusing note, this headline was released yesterday, which just shows you how silly it is for news agencies to report on every fluctuation in the price of bitcoin, as the market is still so incredibly volatile ($63k when the article was released, $59.8k as of me writing this post):
