After the approval of Bitcoin Spot ETF, the BTC price has not increased as expected. Instead, there has been an increase in selling pressure, leading to a significant drop in price.
Bitcoin's price has been experiencing a significant drop due to selling pressure from the Bitcoin miners and Grayscale actions. Miners are selling their holdings due to a massive correction in BTC's price, which in turn is causing a drop in the coin's price. This selling pressure has reduced their profits, and it could lead to another sell-off, further affecting BTC's price.
On Thursday (18/01), Grayscale, a company that invests in cryptocurrencies, sold over $400 million worth of bitcoin to Coinbase Prime, a digital asset exchange. Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas, pointed out on his Twitter account that the value of GBTC shares went down by 0.9% compared to the net asset value, which could be due to the selling pressure caused by this transaction.
BTC is experiencing a bearish trend following the break of a crucial trendline. Despite continuous efforts, BTC is struggling to surpass the $40,000 support level. If this support is breached, there's a potential for further decline, with possible trading levels reaching as low as $38,000 or even $35,000. Traders and investors should closely monitor the situation, considering the significance of the 40k support and the potential impact on BTC's value.
The Ethereum (ETH) market is witnessing a downturn as it approaches the $2,400 level. Notably, ETH and BTC have resumed their correlation after a brief decoupling observed last week. The current sentiment on ETH leans slightly towards the bearish side. Market participants should be attentive to the evolving relationship between ETH and BTC.
