Bitcoin Holds Strong at $40,000 Amid SEC ETF Anticipation Bitcoin (BTC) continues its upward trend despite early Asian trading hours witnessing severe downturns. The anticipation around the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approving cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) plays a significant role. Google even hints at this, stating that "advertisers offering cryptocurrency trust funds targeting the U.S. to advertise those products and services" starting January 29, 2024. Notably, this aligns with the expected approval of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the U.S. during the same month.
Bitcoin's price bouncing back to the $40,400 low is a healthy reassessment, with the $40,000 psychological level holding as support. If this level remains steady, the idea of a new all-time high could emerge.
While the potential for price increase remains strong for Bitcoin, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has yet to surpass 70. However, the Awesome Oscillator (AO), displaying significant green histogram bars, indicates the bullish presence remains robust. The RSI may simply stay above 70.
Increased buying pressure at the current level could drive Bitcoin to break through the weekly supply zone ranging from $40,698 to $46,999. A weekly candle closing above the $43,860 moving average will confirm the continuation of the uptrend.
Such a move would set the stage for Bitcoin to turn the weekly supply into a trend-breaking tool, confirmed by action above the $48,725 resistance. In the case of a strong uptrend, Bitcoin may extend to challenge the $66,098 resistance, turning it into support. Conversely, if the weekly supply is defended as a significant resistance zone, Bitcoin may head south, breaking the $40,000 support. A weekly candle decisively closing below this level could push BTC into a downward spiral, possibly testing the $30,000 psychological level.

Bitcoin Core Developer Flags Ordinals as Blockchain VulnerabilitBitcoin Core developer Luke Dashjr argues that Ordinals represent a vulnerability causing transaction fees to rise and need to be eliminated. Addressing this loophole would remove Ordinals from the BTC blockchain, clearing clutter from the text strings.
BTC Price Surges Nearly 11% in the Past Week, Reaching $44,700 on Friday.
The online bitcoin community is embroiled in a debate over whether Ordinals pose a threat to the BTC blockchain. While Bitcoin Core developers like Luke Dashjr view text strings as spam, others see them as a development for the BTC blockchain on the X social media platform.

Ordinals Currently Identified as a Vulnerability
Luke Dashjr informed his 83,300 followers in a recent tweet on X that text strings are exploiting a vulnerability in Bitcoin Core to spam the blockchain. Since 2013, Bitcoin Core has allowed users to set limits on the size of additional data in transactions they forward. Text strings surpass this limit, making them "vulnerable." Dashjr states that Bitcoin Core remains vulnerable in the upcoming v26 release and developers hope to address this issue by v27 next year. The developer argues that miners must be honest and non-malicious, but allowing text string alterations on the Bitcoin blockchain will increase transaction fees. While advantageous for miners, it constitutes an attack on the BTC blockchain network.
Text strings are considered a technical vulnerability that could have long-term implications for Bitcoin users due to its impact on network security and integrity.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is priced at $43,694 on Binance, bringing nearly an 11% profit for BTC holders on Binance over the past week.
Bitcoin: "Gold on Steroids" with Surging Institutional Investmen Bitcoin has often been compared to gold over the years. Initially viewed as a "safe haven" similar to gold, analysts are now comparing the two investments to determine if Bitcoin meets the criteria of being "gold on steroids." In the past 5 years, up to November, Bitcoin's Sharpe ratio has competed favorably when compared to gold and other proven assets in the market. The Sharpe ratio is defined as the difference between risk-free and investment returns divided by the standard deviation of the investment. Timmer argues that Bitcoin is more volatile than most other assets, but this volatility impacts both directions, and BTC investments come with their own risk-reward profile, akin to what has been observed over the past decade.
According to a report by CoinShares, institutional investors continue to pour funds into Bitcoin funds, with a weekly inflow of $132.8 million recorded as of December 4th. At the time of writing, the price of Bitcoin stands at $44,162 USD on Binance.
Bitcoin's Potential Drop to $42,000 Hinges on US NFP ReportBitcoin's Price Faces Potential Decline
Bitcoin is currently trading at $43,241, struggling to surpass the $44,500 mark, leading to minor corrections. While the broader market outlook leans towards an upward trend at the time of writing, the short-term picture suggests a potential downside.
This is evidenced by the Convergence Divergence Moving Average (MACD) indicator. The diminishing green bars indicate a weakening upward trend, signaling a potential decline in Bitcoin's price.
However, BTC is likely to retreat to $42,000 or $40,000 if the previously established support level is breached. This is a short-term scenario contingent on a stronger-than-expected NFP report. Yet, if the report is weaker or broader market signals shift towards an upward trend, a recovery from the $42,000 level becomes plausible. This would fuel an upward trajectory, pushing Bitcoin beyond $44,500 and undermining the bearish sentiment.
The market dynamics are closely tied to the upcoming NFP report, and a divergence from expectations could significantly impact Bitcoin's price movements. Traders will be watching for signals of either a deeper correction or a potential recovery based on the economic data.
$BTC Price Prediction: $136,000 (8 Green Weekly Candles Signal) (REPOST with better chart)
We know a bull run is coming, with ETF approval and institutional money adding to volume early next year. But how high could BTC go? Here's an educated guess:
We just closed 8 weekly green candles on Bitcoin.
You can't see the last time this happened in many TradingView exchange charts, because it was back in 2017, and most of today's exchanges weren't even around back then.
I had to look on INDEX:BTCUSD - if it's not working in this link, you have to type INDEX:BTCUSD into Supercharts, as they describe in the most complete Bitcoin trading history , to get to 17 April 2017, and count the eight green weekly candles to 5 June 2017.
This was a move of 156%.
After some consolidation, Bitcoin then went up in a bull run by 537%, to nearly $20k on 11 December 2017.
This is a ratio of 3.4x.
That's the ration for 156% for eight green weekly candles, followed by a 537% bullish move.
Our recent eight weekly candles from
27K
to $44k is an increase of 61.53%.
If we have a proportional bull move after some consolidation, 3.4x this 61% is 209%.
That brings us to $136k for the top of the incoming bull run.
This is all speculation, NFA, I'm just a dude on the internet, and I'm probably wrong. But these numbers look intriguing, and give me a plausible exit point for the trades I'm making today.
BTCUSDT likely to head to 4h support around 41200-41700The price is trading inside monthly resistance and experiencing the expected push back. The price action is suggesting that we might be looking for a visit to the 4h support zone which sitting around 41200-41700. That support level should provice a bounce for another attempt at the monthly resistance but it is difficult to say if that bounce will have enough strength to break it. We will evaluate once the price in case reaches 4h support and bounces from there.
BTCUSDT on monthly resistanceLast we discussed the price action in october and we talked about the bounce from weekly liquidity zone offering maximum opportunity on the long side. The price action indeed was in agreement with that proposition. The price moved very steep move to the upside since then. It has now hit the monthly resistance where it is taking a respite. I believe the price will pause here probably after another push to the upside and experience some pullback before breaking this resistance. At first a pullback to the zone 41200-41700 cant be ruled out. There will be some long and short opportunity on lower time frames which I will share separately as I will take those trades.
Bitcoin (BTC) Price Rally Sparks Enthusiastic MomentumAfter a period of consolidation, Bitcoin has undergone a rapid and decisive price surge. Successfully maintaining its position above both the 50-day and 200-day moving averages, indicative of robust and sustained bullish sentiment. The fanning out of the moving averages is often interpreted as a sign of increasing momentum.
Furthermore, recent green candles on the chart, characterized by large bodies, reflect strong buying pressure. The absence of long wicks suggests that pullbacks are swiftly being bought, demonstrating a solid presence of fundamental buying strength in the market. This scenario often aligns with institutional investment activity, as institutions tend to execute strategic, large-scale purchases rather than quick transactions.
In the immediate term, Bitcoin appears to be approaching resistance levels at recent highs, with potential pullbacks likely to test the strength of current support levels.
As Bitcoin enthusiasts closely monitor these developments, the market dynamics indicate a shift towards a more optimistic outlook, driven by both technical indicators and institutional investment behavior.
Bitcoin Price Expected to Surge by 20% to $50,000 The price of Bitcoin (BTC) is currently on an upward trend. Surpassing the psychological level of $42,000 has sparked optimism, with Bloomberg setting an ambitious target for the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. According to the news outlet, Bitcoin reaching $42,000 is just the beginning of a new crypto super cycle that could propel the world's largest token to over $500,000, as advocates claim it heralds a new monetary order making waves on Wall Street.
Meanwhile, the price of Bitcoin is caught within a weekly supply zone ranging from $40,517 to $46,972. To confirm the continuation of the primary trend (upward on the weekly timeframe), the price needs to break and close above the midpoint of the supply barrier at $43,860.
A decisive move above this level could see Bitcoin extending its rally, turning the supply zone into a bullish trend-breaking tool as BTC aims for the forecasted psychological level of $50,000.
In the case of a significant price increase, the surge may encounter resistance at $55,560. It is even plausible to extrapolate these increases to the highest range of $66,098. Such a move would constitute a 56% increase from the current level.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) supports this outlook as its upward movement indicates bullish momentum. Similarly, the bars on the Awesome Oscillator (AO) chart are green in the positive zone, signaling that the bull camp is leading the market. These factors add confidence to the optimistic viewpoint.
As Bitcoin continues to make headlines, market participants are closely watching for potential breakthroughs and milestones in its price journey.
BTCUSDT Sells Incoming. Hang tightAs BTC approaches the 44-46k levels, we are entering higher timeframe resistance.
Also, there isn't anything on fundamentals that explains the push logically.
Prepare for liquidity grab. Possibly a wick up to 50k and a massive long candle down to 33k, giving nice clean traffic for the clear path up to 90k
Bitcoin Price May Drop to $40,000, Key Indicators Suggest The price of Bitcoin (BTC) is approaching the psychological level of $40,000 and could erase it before undergoing a correction. Several bullish indicators, including the Relative Strength Index (RSI), have strengthened the prospects for further price increase. The RSI, a momentum indicator, indicates increasing momentum with its position at 68, suggesting there is still room for upward movement before the cryptocurrency king could be considered overbought.
Furthermore, the Awesome Oscillator (AO) is in positive territory, with green bars on the chart, indicating that the bullish camp is leading the market. Therefore, increased buying pressure could see the price of Bitcoin rise from the current level of $39,462 (as of 8:00 AM GMT), surpassing the recent high within the range of $39,778 before testing the psychological level of $40,000.
📊Trading ideas for the final sprint of #BTC🧠➡️From a data perspective👀
Positions on major mainstream exchanges began to increase rapidly, which meant that a large number of retail investors began to enter the market. It seems that the popularity of BTC in the world has been mentioned again, but this is often not a good thing, because this is exactly what the main players want to see, and they will reduce their holdings in batches until huge dumping occurs. When the liquidation data on a certain day begins to show an astonishing amount of more than a billion dollars, it can basically be declared that this wave of rise is over.
➡️From a technical point of view👀
We have been rising all the way up based on the smiling face bullish structure below, so the ideal target of this structure is the mid-term TP zone. If we look at it according to the Elliott pulse wave, the increase in waves 4-5 of the previous pulse wave was 59.01% , and the current increase in waves 4-5 in this period is also about 59% when it reaches fib0.5. History does not always repeat, but it often rhymes. 🐾
⚠️ In addition , the vicinity of fib0.5 is generally regarded as a key support and resistance transition point. Combined with the previous K-line, there are also many high and low points that overlap with the K-line. We will also face the round-number hurdle of $40,000 that most investors are looking forward to. Therefore, when we reach $40,000-$42,289, we will definitely encounter serious resistance. I would not be surprised if there is another negative K-line with a large cycle closing at that time. Whether it is analyzed according to the wave theory, graphic structure, or Fibonacci sequence, this is completely logical. 🧠💯✔️
➡️So we are not in a hurry to go short now, just wait for the negative K-line to close in the big cycle! If you are bullish, you need to remain vigilant at all times, do a good job in risk management, and try to be risk-free or low-risk to achieve the ideal target zone. ☕️🎯✔️

Bitcoin $52kBull to bear perspective for the next year and a half.
52.3k rejection and an assessment to see if the recent parabolic trend breaks, if so structure needs to be assessed for potential head and shoulder formations. Downside target could be as low as 7.2k. Always assess risk and always be prepared to be wrong.
The downside drop is contingent of a bearish outlook on the stock market, and for the interest rate hikes over the last year to finally take effect. Also the swing from 3k to 69k, it would be ideal for price to rationalise this sudden rise by coming to the lower levels sub 10k before commencing the actual big bull. For now, enjoying these mini bull and bear cycles seem to be the name of the game rather than hodling and hoping. Further, a rejection at 52.3k in January would be the ideal time for an ETF approval, as we have seen approvals lead to large declines in the past.

🗺️Bitcoin Roadmap🗺️⏰(1-hour time frame)⏰💡Bitcoin tried many times to break the 🟡 Price Reversal Zone(PRZ) 🟡 but failed every time.
🌊In terms of Elliott wave theory , Bitcoin seems to have found microwave 5 of the main wave C at the 🟡Price Reversal Zone(PRZ)🟡 and the upper line of the Rising Wedge Pattern .
💡One of the confirmation signs of our wave counting can be the presence of Regular Divergence(RD-) between two micro waves 3 and 5 of the main wave C.
🔔I expect Bitcoin to attack the Support lines and the lower Rising Wedge Pattern line after breaking the 🟢 Support zone($38,000_$37,650) 🟢.

📊BTC will continue to break through previous H, ⚠️📉⚠️➡️Continuing yesterday’s point of view, although we are actively bullish, we cannot do it blindly. If it does rise, we should find the corresponding target to reduce our holdings and lock in profits. If it falls, we should find the corresponding place to add positions or find new ones. ⚙️
➡️Trading seems to be very simple, it is either buying or selling. But if you don't do it well, you will easily be liquidated. Therefore, strictly implementing trading strategies and risk management are the most important aspects. Only by using a complete trading system can you bring yourself the profits you want. 💯✔️
🧠Yesterday’s decline was just to eliminate those who are not determined. Because the overall structure is still positive and bullish. After we fell below the turning point and swept through the liquidity, we chose to continue to rise. We have now broken through the short defense point, which means that the short structure has been destroyed, so it is highly probable that we will continue to break through the previous high. 💪

Bitcoin Soars in January: ETFs Await Approval & Price Prediction The Bitcoin Spot ETF may see widespread approval in January, according to insights from Eric Balchunas, a Bloomberg ETF analyst, who detailed the updated application from asset manager BlackRock.
Bitcoin prices continue their upward trajectory, triggering a short-term liquidation of $8.94 million. The total number of entities issuing Bitcoin Spot ETFs has risen to 13, following Pando's ETF registration. Pando, a European ETF giant, has submitted an S-1 application for the Pando Asset Spot Bitcoin Trust.
Eric Balchunas, the Bloomberg ETF analyst, highlighted the late filings and shared details about BlackRock's meeting with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Trading and Markets division. Balchunas informed his followers through a recent tweet that the asset management giant presented a modified physical model based on feedback received during their November 20 meeting. The U.S. financial regulatory agency had previously requested Bitcoin Spot ETF applicants to amend their profiles to create liquidity. Applicants may continue debating cash creation and ETF distribution using physical assets with the regulatory body.
Predictions surrounding the Bitcoin Spot ETF have spurred a recovery in both the spot and futures markets. Seyffart recently provided detailed information on ProShares BITO, an ETF futures fund that recently reached an all-time high. Grayscale Bitcoin Trust's GBTC discount has narrowed, touching a record low in anticipation of BTC ETF approval. Bitcoin holders are eagerly awaiting the potential approval of various BTC Spot ETFs in January 2024.
According to Coinglass data, the Bitcoin price surge led to the liquidation of $8.94 million in sell orders overnight. Anonymous crypto analyst Crypto Tony assessed the Bitcoin price chart and predicted a rise to $40,000 before a potential correction, marking an initial decline to around $36,000.
In summary, the outlook for Bitcoin includes the possibility of widespread approval for Spot ETFs, contributing to market optimism, while analysts anticipate further price increases before a potential correction.
📊#BTC breaks through again and again, what is the intention❓➡️If we look at it from the perspective of technical analysis, a successful breakthrough means that the bulls will continue. First, we formed an ascending triangle here and successfully broke through upward. Then we have reason to think that the rise will continue. It will also be the last wave of rise. However, in order to avoid the risk of a possible correction, we chose to reduce our holdings when we broke through the previous high yesterday and continue to play the remaining goals without risk.🎯
➡️If we look at the sentiment of the market, most people are bearish because they think that an adjustment is about to begin and this is the top. But what I want to say is that judging from yesterday’s BTC funding rate, it actually showed a surprisingly negative number, which means that short sellers have to pay handling fees to long sellers. We have seen this kind of example with TRB before. However, short sellers have mostly become fuel, that is, liquidity providers.
➡️If we look at the data, the liquidation map data of the entire network shows that the total liquidation funds for BTC rising to 40,000 US dollars are 1.3 billion US dollars, while the total liquidation funds for 35,000 US dollars are 900 million US dollars. For whales and institutions, $1.3 billion is obviously more attractive. 💯
⚠️In addition, the longer we consolidate here, the greater the amount of investment we will attract, and the more funds will be liquidated, so risk management is essential.💯✔️
👆To sum up, I think the probability of continuing to rise is greater than the probability of falling. 📈

📊 Has the final sprint phase of #BTC begun ❓➡️BTC started its rise as expected and reacted well after hitting the uptrend support line. The long position we bought here has already locked in part of the profit, and the rest is risk-free, looking forward to higher targets. 🙏
⚠️Note that if our bullish defense point is broken, the driving force supporting our rise will be lost, which means that we will fail to start. Technical analysis can only be used as a reference, and risk management is a must. 💯✔️

"Bitcoin Could Rally Northward on Potential RSI Intersection" Bitcoin (BTC) has breached the resistance level of $38,008, though not decisively, currently trading at $38,139 at the time of writing. There is still potential for an extension towards the higher range at $38,414 or, in the case of a strong upward movement, pushing towards $40,000. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is moving upward and is on the verge of crossing above the signal line (yellow band). Historically, each time this intersection occurs, BTC has responded with a bold upward move, interpreting it as a buying signal.
Similarly, the Awesome Oscillator (AO) indicator remains in positive territory, indicating that the bullish camp maintains control despite strong downward price pressure. On the flip side, increasing selling pressure could lead Bitcoin to drop below the support level of $38,008 or, worse, test the support level of $35,487. In a more severe scenario, a downturn could cause BTC to lose the confluence support between the horizontal line and the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $33,912. Breaking and closing below this level would invalidate the bullish argument, setting the stage for a further southward extension towards the psychological level of $30,000.
