Spot Ethereum ETFs Approved, Massive BTC, ETH Volatility, Major CEO Steps Down: This Week’s Crypto Recap

letizo News

Published

on

It was another eventful week in the cryptocurrency markets, with Ethereum going under the spotlight this time. Let’s unpack.

Last weekend went very quietly, with little to no real action in terms of news and price movements. However, everything changed on Monday evening when Bloomberg’s ETF experts raised their prediction rate for the SEC approving spot Ethereum ETFs this week to 75% from 25%.

This caused immediate shock in the markets, as ETH exploded by over 20% from $3,100 to a multi-week peak of $3,800. The rally kept going in the following days for the second-largest cryptocurrency, which exceeded $3,930 at one point as speculations arose about whether it would be able to break the $4,000 barrier.

Bitcoin also followed suit on the way up and skyrocketed from $67,000 to a six-week high of its own at almost $72,000 on Monday evening. However, both assets failed to maintain their run at the end of the week, even though the big news from yesterday was that the Securities and Exchange Commission had indeed approved eight spot Ethereum ETFs to go live for trading in the US at some point.

Both BTC and ETH dropped by more than 4% just hours before the ETFs were greenlighted, faced tons of volatility after that, and failed to recover most losses. In fact, ETH has performed worse than BTC on a 24-hour scale and sits at $3,700 now, while bitcoin is above $68,000.

Still, ETH is among the top performers in the past week, having surged by 18%. Other big gainers from this week include BONK (43% up) and PEPE, which charted a few consecutive all-time highs.

Market Data

Market Cap: $2.676T | 24H Vol: $133B | BTC Dominance: 50.2%

BTC: $68,191 (+1.47%) | ETH: $3,671 (+18%) | BNB: $596 (+2.5%)

This Week’s Crypto Headlines You Can’t Miss

SEC Approves Spot Ethereum ETFs for Public Trading. As mentioned above, the biggest news this week in the entire industry came from the US securities regulator. Despite previous dabbling with whether ETH is a security or not, the SEC greenlighted eight spot Ethereum ETFs, perhaps due to political pressure.

8-Day Winning Streak: Spot Bitcoin ETFs See Strong Inflows. The ETF front has been quite strong in the past several days as the spot BTC products recorded an impressive streak that now stretches to nine consecutive days of positive inflows.

Bitcoin Pizza Day: A Delicious Slice of Crypto History Turns 14. May 22 will forever remain in the Bitcoin history books as the Pizza Day. On this day, 14 years ago, Laszlo Hanyecz made one of the first transactions involving paying with BTC and purchasing two Papa John’s pizzas for 10,000 BTC, and we celebrated this massive achievement earlier this week.

Solana ETFs to See More Demand Than Other Altcoin Funds: Bloomberg Analyst. Following the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs and the approval of Ethereum-based products, experts have now started to speculate which will be the next crypto asset in line. According to Bloomberg’s James Seyffart, Solana ETFs could follow suit, but there’s a lot of controversy on that front.

Grayscale CEO Michael Sonnenshein Steps Down. Another big piece of news from this week came from the company behind the world’s largest Bitcoin ETF – Grayscale. Michael Sonnenshein, who spent 10 years at the asset manager, decided to step down from his last job as CEO. The person who will be replacing him comes from Goldman Sachs.

Bitcoin Network Sees Lowest New Addresses Created Since 2018. Despite all the positive news around Bitcoin, not everything is going its way. The new addresses count has declined substantially in the past few weeks and recorded their lowest levels since the bear market in 2018.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Here’s Why BTC Jumped by 5% Today

letizo News

Published

on

Bitcoin has recently experienced an uptick in demand near the crucial support region of the 100-day moving average, leading to a notable rebound.

This price action underscores a bullish sentiment in the market with the potential for a continued rally toward a new all-time high.

Technical Analysis

By Shayan

The Daily Chart

A detailed analysis of Bitcoin’s daily chart reveals that following a resurgence of demand near the critical $53K support area, the cryptocurrency initiated an impulsive bullish rally, surpassing several key resistance levels and introducing a bullish sentiment into the market.

These zones include the 200-day moving average at $60.5K, the 100-day moving average at $64.4K, and the static resistance at $61K. After breaking above the 100-day MA, the price recently exhibited a corrective retracement, completing a pullback to the broken level and validating the breakout.

Currently, Bitcoin has faced heightened buying pressure near the 100-day MA and experienced a bullish rebound toward the $67K threshold. If conditions remain stable, there is potential for the bullish trend toward the significant resistance region of $70K in the mid-term to continue.

The 4-Hour Chart

On the 4-hour chart, after receiving sufficient support near the lower boundary of the multi-month wedge at $54K, the price initiated an impulsive bullish rally, reaching the wedge’s upper trendline at $68K.

This price action clearly indicates that buyers are eager to push above the $70K resistance and set a new ATH for Bitcoin in the mid-term. During the recent rally, the price has formed an ascending short-term trendline, serving as the main support for BTC in the short term.

However, Bitcoin faced increased selling pressure near the wedge’s upper boundary, leading to a notable rejection toward the upslope trendline and the $64K support region.

Yet, the cryptocurrency was supported by the trendline and the $64K threshold, initiating a new surge toward the wedge’s upper boundary. Currently, the price is confined by the dynamic support of the ascending trendline and the dynamic resistance of the wedge’s upper boundary, roughly forming a triangle pattern.

A break above the wedge’s upper trendline will pave the way for a renewed bullish surge toward the $70K threshold. Conversely, a break below the ascending trendline could lead to a retracement toward the $64K mark.

On-chain Analysis

By Shayan

While Bitcoin’s price has experienced a notable bullish reversal, a closer examination is essential to determine if this trend will persist.

The Taker Buy/Sell Ratio, a crucial metric for evaluating futures market sentiment, provides valuable insights into the market dynamics. Values above 1 indicate aggressive buying by bulls, while values below 1 suggest bearish selling pressure.

The chart highlights the Taker Buy/Sell Ratio, which has experienced an impulsive surge above the “1” threshold concurrently with Bitcoin’s bullish revival. This surge signifies strong buying interest in the perpetual market, indicating a notable bullish sentiment and significant buying activity. If the upward trend in the Taker Buy/Sell Ratio continues, it confirms a potential mid-term bullish trend, with the price likely rallying toward the $70K mark.

Ripple Price Analysis: Is XRP Ready to Finally Explode Above $0.60?

letizo News

Published

on

Ripple’s price is finally gaining some bullish momentum following months of downtrend and consolidation.

By TradingRage

The USDT Paired Chart

Analyzing the XRP/USDT pair, it is evident that the price has demonstrated a rapid recovery from the $0.43 support level. It broke above both the $0.5 level and the 200-day moving average, located around the $0.55 mark.

The price is currently on the verge of breaking above the $0.59 resistance zone and if it succeeds, a rally higher toward the key $0.72 resistance level would be probable in the coming weeks.

The BTC Paired Chart

The BTC paired chart also displays a similar behavior. The market has rebounded and broken above the 800 SAT level. Yet, the price has yet to break through the 200-day moving average, located around the 900 SAT mark.

Typically, a rise above the 200-day moving average indicates the beginning of a new uptrend. Therefore, if a breakout occurs, XRP will likely significantly appreciate against BTC in the short term.
