QQQ The AI-Powered Future: A Bullish Case for Long-Term Options If you haven`t bought the Santa Rally: or my 2023 forecast: Then investing in long-term options on the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) with a strike price of $420 and an expiration date of 2024-6-21 presents a compelling opportunity for bullish investors. The convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and the ever-growing technology sector is set to ignite the next revolution, propelling QQQ to outperform the S&P 500 and deliver substantial returns, in my opinion. Now let's explore the factors that make this investment thesis a promising one. AI-Driven Technological Advancements: AI is undoubtedly the most transformative technology of our era. It has already revolutionized various industries and continues to penetrate new sectors, creating endless opportunities for innovation and growth. Companies listed on the Nasdaq 100 are at the forefront of AI adoption, leveraging its capabilities to enhance their products, services, and operations. As AI-driven technologies continue to disrupt traditional models and unlock new revenue streams, QQQ's constituent companies are poised to benefit significantly. Tech Sector Dominance in the Nasdaq 100: The Nasdaq 100 predominantly comprises technology-focused companies that have demonstrated remarkable growth potential and resilience. With the ongoing global digitization and the increasing demand for technology-based solutions, the Nasdaq 100 is well-positioned to outperform the broader market. As the technology sector continues to flourish, investors can expect these companies to deliver above-average returns over the long term. I believe QQQ will reach $450 by the end of 2024. Looking forward to read your opinion about it!

When Alt season? When moon? When rocket emojis?We are yet to see first, a pullback by BTC coupled with stock market correction and destruction of Alts. Capitulation by both price and time. Notice in prior cycle with 714 days of red and current 574 days of red at most recent bottom of TOTAL3. NOTE: 2020 Feb-March has been omitted as a black swan (anomaly) Recession is looming and true scale to be surfaced. Bankruptcies and commercial real estate pain needs to pass. FED cannot pre-maturely ease monetary policy otherwise a wage-price spiral is at risk and unraveling of inflation expectation demands. I've mentioned Blackrock ETD and it's CEO going on CNBC, the point I'll re-iterate is that if markets are now bullish as they make it seem, why haven't we broke past $32k Bitcoin decisively yet? Insert meme: "IT'S A TRAP!"

Smart money bear trap thesis?Tags: Blackrock Bitcoin ETF, Inflation, PCE, FED, Wage-price spiral, BTC.D, ETH/BTC Could we be mimicking 1970's market? So last PCI reading came 3% but core CPI is still high and Core PCE (FED's preferred inflation measure) has been sticky in 4.5% area for past several months. Whilst inflation expectations have been tamed by FEDs continued "We remain focused on getting inflation back to 2%." This message must be maintained and a recession is inevitable. Look at 10Y3M yields and 10Y2Y bond yields. We have real pain yet to come. So headline inflation is being curved down and celebrated however the next step is the risk of a wage-price spiral which is being priced in and expected to also not become a threat once unemployment rises but the job markets are remaining resilient. Therefore, the FED will hold interest rates at 5.25-5.50 bps until inflation is confidently curbed. We have not yet seen fear in markets from recessionary risks. Everyone is thinking it will be a mild one however the future is hard to foresee and there are underlying financial risks not in the limelight yet. Now, you have the market context we shall dive into the charts!

Key Drivers of the Market - A Deep DiveHello everyone! Today we will talk about five different important concepts. Many things are happening in markets, so I will create similar reports to help people understand why things are how they are. This will be my first report, so it might be a bit harder to go through, especially because on Tradingview, I can't easily share economic data or random non-Tradingview charts, so I will try to make each concept as simple as possible. Positioning 1) Positioning in markets appears to be quite extreme. Looking at the CoT long/short data for hedge fund positioning, we can get a pretty good sense of whether speculators are long or short. Overall, the market remains short on stocks and bonds. Regarding bond data, it is possible that the positioning is like this for other reasons, which doesn't mean they are bullish. As contrarians, we usually want to go against most speculators, but sometimes the speculators take one position for reasons other than making a directional bet (maybe they are hedged). Another significant market to look at is the energy market, and more specifically, oil, which in my opinion, is very close to transitioning back into a bull market. I am expecting one more shakeout here, with a dip toward 55-60$. I think one more shakeout for oil to take out all the lows (hunt stop loss), and speculators will fully turn short. Speculators have been cutting their longs for a year and are almost about to turn short for the first time in many years. Inflation 2) Expected inflation in the next CPI print is around 3% YoY and 0.3% MoM, potentially influenced by recent commodity spikes. These short-lived spikes could affect June's print, as some food-related commodities had a little rally. I believe inflation could come back with a vengeance, as there are too many potential issues with producing several materials and products. These issues could be exacerbated due to deglobalization and climate change (not the climate getting hotter, but colder). Truflation shows 2.3% YoY inflation, inflation expectations are at 2.3%, and interest rates are between 3.7% and 5.25% across the yield curve. My main view is that inflation will trend lower for a little longer, and its downtrend could end with a deflationary spike, as current real rates are substantially positive. It's even possible that we will get negative CPI MoM prints in Q3-Q4, but inflationary pressures will probably resume once we are done with that. Many argue that core inflation is sticky and too high, and I believe it might stay elevated for a while, but eventually, I think it will start falling. My view on inflation mainly has to do with outright shortages and not with money printing. The current disinflationary trend seen across most countries will probably continue for a little longer as we haven't seen substantial money printing for a while, while interest rate hikes are starting to affect consumers negatively. The biggest issue I see is that commodity producers are struggling and face severe problems due to green policies, deglobalization, and climate change. Another important point is that OPEC+ is about to cut 1-2m barrels/day of production, which means oil could spike as demand remains relatively strong. One of the reasons I think the biggest inflationary threat comes from the supply side (goods/services) is that Japan has had lower inflation than the US, despite keeping rates at 0. China didn't raise rates either and has been pumping liquidity into the system, as well as cutting rates, and yet inflation there is almost 0%. It shows that inflation has come down independently, with markets slowly shorting through various imbalances, not because interest rates increased. At this stage, higher rates might actually have the opposite effect than the one intended. Why? Because of the massive debts at the government level, which are being inflated even further as governments borrow at higher rates. Housing 3) The housing market remains strong, and a deficit exists. More supply will be coming online over time, but there are no signs of weakness or that the supply won't be able to be absorbed by the market. Many people are still waiting for rates and prices to drop in order to buy a house, while those with a mortgage are not selling their houses because they don't want to get a more expensive loan. Therefore we essentially have a balance in the market, with new houses and defaults being absorbed by those with cash and those willing to get an expensive mortgage. Rents have not gone up YoY but seem to be about to trend higher again. As there is still a lot of cash in the market and the US government keeps spending, it's reasonable to expect rents to stay flat or slowly tick higher, even if interest rate hikes are starting to affect the economy. Some countries are really suffering from higher interest rates, as most people have variable-rate mortgages; however, the US is in a better situation as most had their mortgages fixed at low rates. So far, it looks like banks and central banks are taking a loss on all the mortgages issued or refinanced during 2020 and 2021, and this effect won't be reverted any time soon. GDP 4) Q1 GDP growth was revised higher at 2% (from 1.4%), showing resilience in the US economy amidst recession fears. Despite growth in the US markets, concerns over a recession remain. As the US government keeps spending at a high pace, a recession will probably be delayed; without that meaning, it will never arrive. Interest rates have been rising, and the Fed wants to hike rates once or twice again. The Fed will likely intervene to support the economy in 1-2 years. As the deficit grows and rates increase, within the next few years, the government will have absorbed all excess liquidity trapped in the RRP or banks. That means that the Fed will then be forced to start buying bonds. The Fed is currently losing over 50B annually because it has to pay high rates to those that deposit at the Fed, which is effectively direct money printing. With so much government debt, the Fed can't raise rates much higher without adding this inflationary component. Although unemployment and bankruptcies are trending higher, the market is showing resilience. As stated above, the US economy is the most resilient, while many other countries are suffering heavily. What has been very helpful is that so far, we had strong oil production despite the war in Ukraine, while the US was releasing a lot of barrels from SPR. This strengthened consumption and boosted the economy. One important data point that proves that the US hasn't been in a recession is that the Travel Numbers of people flying in the US are at ATHs. How could someone call for a recession with these numbers? It's possible that interest rate hikes and all the printing in the US, along with a strong dollar, helped the US consumer to stay in relatively good shape. How bad do bankruptcies and unemployment get, and when? I don't know. I believe that the yield curve will eventually be right, and we will get a recession, but it's hard to call for one. Although lots of data points to the US being in a recession or close to getting into one, we haven't had proper confirmation for a downturn. Maybe we have been in a mild recession, and that's why the market is rallying so much, as people feared something awful, and this hasn't played out. Stocks 5) Stocks seem to remain in a bull market. After hitting the targets that I mentioned in some of my previous ideas, they had a mini-correction. I never turned fully bearish, but I thought at once, the SPX got at 4450 and the NDX at 15200, the market might have topped. This hasn't played out, and I must admit that the market looks bullish here. I can't say anything with certainty yet, but I'd avoid shorting or being all out. There are still many signals that point to higher stock prices. Apple just had a massive breakout and looks strong. Now at a 3T valuation, which seems too much, but when someone thinks that Apple is one of those companies that are essentially powering a 500T financial system, along with its growth potential with AI, then 3T doesn't seem that much. Although stocks seem expensive relative to the current GDP, let's not forget that AI will boost global GDP massively over the next few years. That means that tech companies like Microsoft and Google will keep expanding. Also, let's not forget that unprofitable tech deflated last year and hasn't recovered yet, so a lot of garbage got washed out and isn't a drag on the market. Finally, many people are missing something important: leverage didn't fuel this rally. The market deleveraged massively in 2022 and is now free from excess leverage. If this rally was driven by leverage, it would be fragile, and a reversal could occur at any moment. Summary To sum things up and add a few final touches... The main things leading the market are: NDX is a monopoly, AI, stock buybacks, passive investing, and government spending. It's improbable that these factors will cease to exist, and things will turn ugly immediately after the best first half the Nasdaq 100 has ever had. Sentiment might be changing and leaning toward bullish, but I am not seeing anything that's seriously worth paying attention to. Sure, maybe we get another little correction, but nothing more than that. The market looks very strong. Some leading indicators even show that liquidity and financial conditions will improve from here. I believe that too many people are stuck looking at interest rates but forget how bad the government deficits are and that the only way to keep moving forward is to print more money and accelerate growth and consumption. The NDX (Nasdaq 100) has broken above its double top in Q1 2022 and could easily sweep its Q4 2021 double top next. The index is just 11% away from new ATHs, which it could achieve in 2023.

Bitcoin and Beyond: An Analysis of Crypto Market TrendsHello everyone. A few weeks ago, I shared a few successful ideas about Coinbase, Grayscale, and the possibility of an ETF being approved. I also shared several interesting plays that have been doing very well, so I would like to dig deeper into them and check their progress. This idea will be a comprehensive look at crypto's evolving landscape. An in-depth analysis of current trends, fundamentals, and data, where I will explain why I remain bullish on crypto and Bitcoin in particular. There is also a decent chance that an alt season has begun. We will explore why the future looks bright while examining any potential issues and going through the current price action. So pour yourself a nice drink, and let's get into it! 1) Coinbase has been doing incredibly well. Why? A few reasons... a) multiple ETFs have been filled and are waiting for approval by the SEC, most of which have Coinbase as their main exchange/partner. b) The SEC was expected to sue Coinbase, so it was a sell the rumor - buy the news event. Once the SEC sued Coinbase, the stock capitulated and bounced immediately. However, the SEC's case looks weak, and Coinbase could win. c) Most other exchanges in the US have been suffering, with Bittrex shutting down and BinanceUS potentially shutting down too. d) Coinbase has launched a derivatives platform both in the US and abroad and its own Layer 2 protocol. Therefore more potential profits will come to the exchange. 2) Microstrategy is also doing great. Like Coinbase, the stock went through a lot of FUD, and many thought it would be forced to sell some of its coins if Bitcoin's price fell below a certain level. Now this is all in the past. Microstrategy's business is booming, and they keep buying lots of bitcoins. Not only are they buying, but they even repaid their loan to Silvergate at a 30% discount. Coinbase also repaid part of its loans at a steep discount because interest rates are so much higher and crypto so much lower. Both stocks fell more than 90% from their ATHs and went sideways for nearly 14 months. They both bottomed in May along with the Terra collapse and had a secondary low that was essentially an SFP, as they follow US tech companies as they were capitulating. Now both are also being heavily bid by players in the traditional space (TradFi), as these players don't have easy access to crypto until an ETF gets launched; hence they are looking for proxy trades. MSTR seems to be doing better as it is essentially a leveraged bet on Bitcoin due to the fact that it has taken massive loans to buy Bitcoin at low-interest rates and isn't exposed to altcoins like Coinbase is. Finally, MSTR's price partially filled the gap that opened in 2020 since the time it announced it bought Bitcoin. 3) GBTC's discount is closing. As I had said multiple times before, Grayscale's Bitcoin Trust would outperform Bitcoin. I had been saying that buying GBTC at a 40-50% discount is a good idea, and those that bought GBTC are now beating BTC by 40-50% and could gain another 30-40% as the discount closes even further. The main reason behind this idea was that the SEC would probably lose against Grayscale. The SEC hasn't been able to explain why it hasn't approved an ETF, and its case has many holes. The same holds for many of their actions and failures to protect retail investors. Approving an ETF before the elections would help them cleanse all their past mistakes. The massive discount that GBTC had hurt millions of investors directly and indirectly, and the only way to properly restore balance would be to approve an ETF. Once Blackrock decided to step in, it was game over. Why? Because BlackRock has an incredible track record of having its ETFs approved (575-1). If one ETF is approved, all ETFs have to be approved, which means that, finally, GBTC will be converted to an ETF. GBTC could easily rally, fill the gap at 24, pause there for a while, and then continue higher. 4) BITO was the futures ETF the SEC approved in October 2021, and it was yet another awful product. It was horrible for investors, as it has underperformed Bitcoin by more than 30%. The only real usefulness of that ETF has been to help me trade Bitcoin better. How? Because of its gaps. The CME futures, the BITO ETF, and GBTC have been forming/creating special patterns which could give an edge to someone based on the types of gaps on the chart. As BITO slowly becomes irrelevant, CME futures and all the spot ETFs will play a more important role in price action, so tracking their gaps could be a handy tool for those that actively trade. What BITO indicates at the moment is that Bitcoin could have another dip toward 28800 and then go higher because of the major gap it has lower. Overall, there are many more gaps to the upside than the downside; hence, I expect prices to go higher soon, as these gaps act like little magnets. 5) As the traditional market is closed tomorrow, it will be interesting to see what the crypto market does as it trades 24/7. The CME futures will probably trade tomorrow, as they've also been trading today. Usually, the market opens for a few hours on July 3rd and is closed on July 4th, but futures tend to be open pretty much on all holidays. Bitcoin is trading near its May-June 2022 local tops and looks super strong. Based on my analysis, the most immediate targets are 35300 and 37500, as indicated by the CME gaps. However, I think that the fair value of Bitcoin is closer to 37-40k, and with an ETF, it could easily shoot up toward 50k. As seen in the spot chart, many FVGs are waiting to be filled to the upside, and it's unlikely that any will be filled to the downside. The capitulation at 15.5k last November was quite intense, and the market has essentially formed a massive inverse Head and Shoulders pattern, with a target near 49-50k. The current uptrend is very clean and technically perfect. It first swept the Nov 2020 low that led to the big breakout, then tested 20k during the USDC-SVB crisis (bottomed right at the 2017 ATHs), and finally tested the 25k breakout zone during the SEC lawsuits. Currently testing the 30-31.5k resistance, and it will most likely eventually break above it. It also closed Q2 above 30k, which was a very strong close! 6) Finally, I want to talk broadly about Ethereum, Bitcoin's Dominance, and my view on crypto assets. Ethereum has filled its CME gap and paused there. It was normal for the price to dip slightly today in USD and BTC terms. Overall, ETHUSD isn't as clean as BTCUSD. I wouldn't say I like that it has too many FVGs (gaps/inefficiencies) open and so many double bottoms. Essentially there is much-untapped liquidity, which makes it look a bit unhealthy. However, ETHBTC seems to have bottomed. I waited months to see the FVG at 0.0608 filled, and once it did so, the market almost immediately bounced. It has now reclaimed support and looks fairly strong. If ETHBTC has bottomed, then potentially, crypto broadly has bottomed vs BTC. Ethereum is the leader of the rest and is also in a powerful position. Bitcoin might lead the ETF race, but an Ethereum ETF will eventually emerge. So far, Ethereum has many advantages over Bitcoin, like fee burning, lower inflation, more adoption, and staking. As more and more investors stake, then there will be less selling pressure on the market. Ethereum could be seen as green tech by many investors, which will also give it an extra boost. What remains to be seen is whether the SEC will deem staking and Ethereum as securities, which means that an Ethereum ETF might take longer. At the moment, many ALTBTC pairs look quite bullish and bottomed out. However, ETHBTC has gotten rejected at resistance, and Bitcoin's dominance remains in a strong uptrend. The current BTCD (BTC.D) pullback doesn't look sufficient to conclude whether we are in an alt season. So far, it's been positive that many crypto assets are dipping or rallying along with Bitcoin, as the worst for them to be dipping when BTC is rallying. In my opinion, there is a decent chance altcoins capitulated, as the selling from many bankrupt firms or crypto delistings has already occurred. For example selling from Voyager, Celsius, Bakkt, Revolut, and Robinhood are either priced in or has occurred. These customers have gotten or will get BTC, ETH, or USD back, which can convert into other crypto assets. To start wrapping things up, I want to mention the many crucial events to look out for. a) The return of FTX, b) the legal court cases between the SEC and all the crypto firms, c) bankruptcies, and d) the distribution of BTC from Mt Gox and the US government. The return of FTX would be very bullish for crypto and Bitcoin in particular, as FTX mostly has smaller coins and cash. The SEC will probably lose some cases against Ripple, Coinbase, and Grayscale, which will shape the future of crypto. Remember that a lot of the bearish news is already priced in to a large extent, and very few events can truly shake crypto (not Bitcoin). As these policies and bankruptcies have disproportionally hurt smaller crypto assets, they could be the ones that benefit the most once the tide turns. Bitcoin investors and traders should be most aware that Mt Gox will return about 140k BTC and 500m in cash, and the US government has about 90k BTC to sell and 120k BTC to return to Bitfinex. GBTC has 635k BTC, which will come back to the market through the ETF conversion (so far, they've been locked out of the market). BlockOne has 164k BTC, which was raised during the ICO period and might eventually distribute to EOS holders. All these events might be short-term bearish for Bitcoin, but long term, we think they will sort out imbalances in the market. At the same time, these events will probably push capital and liquidity into altcoins, so rather than panicking and selling, it's better to look for opportunities in the rest of the crypto market. In conclusion, this market will provide multiple opportunities to the bulls, even though it will be a bumpy ride. I don't want to say with certainty that the SEC will lose all its cases, as I think many crypto assets, if not the majority, are securities. However, the crypto space isn't going away, especially as multiple jurisdictions like the UAE, UK, Singapore, and Hong Kong have taken a good approach to crypto regulations. At the same time, I don't want to tell anyone to speculate too much on smaller crypto assets, as the pool of liquidity that is about to enter primarily into Bitcoin is much larger than anything that currently exists in crypto, which means that BTC could outperform crypto assets over the next 6-12 months. Thanks a lot for reading, and I hope you learned a lot from my analysis. Good luck! :)

BTC Bitcoin ETF Optimism Drives Towards $37,900 ResistanceIf you haven`t bought BTC here: Then you should know that the inclusion of Coinbase surveillance sharing agreement (SSA) in a spot Bitcoin ETF refiling by BlackRock is a game-changer. As the world's largest asset manager with over $9 trillion in assets under management, BlackRock's involvement brings a new level of credibility and institutional support to the cryptocurrency market. This move demonstrates their confidence in the potential of Bitcoin as an investment asset. Nasdaq's inclusion of the Coinbase SSA further solidifies the positive sentiment surrounding Bitcoin. Nasdaq is a renowned stock exchange and their involvement in facilitating the surveillance and regulation of a Bitcoin ETF enhances investor confidence. The endorsement from Bernstein, a reputable $650 billion asset manager, adds fuel to the bullish case for Bitcoin. Their belief that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is likely to approve a spot Bitcoin ETF indicates growing acceptance and recognition of the cryptocurrency by traditional financial institutions. Adding to the positive outlook, Fidelity, a massive $4.2 trillion asset manager, has officially filed for a spot Bitcoin ETF, designating Coinbase as their surveillance sharing agreement counterpart. Fidelity's involvement reinforces the notion that established financial giants see the potential of Bitcoin and are actively seeking opportunities to enter the market. With these major players entering the scene, it is reasonable to anticipate increased adoption and acceptance of Bitcoin as a legitimate investment asset. The combined weight of BlackRock, Nasdaq, Bernstein, and Fidelity lends credibility and creates a favorable environment for regulatory approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF. Considering these recent developments, along with the growing mainstream acceptance of cryptocurrencies, it is highly plausible that Bitcoin will reach the next resistance level of $37,900 and potentially continue its upward trajectory.

OIH: Come on! 👏Since the low of wave ii in orange, OIH has already managed some strong upwards moves, but so far, it could not successfully conquer the resistance at $276.85. However, we expect the ETF to climb above this mark soon to develop wave iii in orange. Afterward, the short counter movement of wave iv in orange should interrupt the ascent, before the following upwards step should lead to the top of wave 2 in turquoise. There is a 35% chance, though, that OIH could slip downwards and drop below the support at $250.69 instead.

BTC First Leveraged Bitcoin Futures ETF Launched Today !The introduction of the first leveraged Bitcoin futures ETF, the Volatility Shares Trust - 2x Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITX), marks an intriguing development in the cryptocurrency market! The idea of institutions employing this ETF as a strategic move to capitalize on their bearish view of Bitcoin is plausible. This ETF presents a new opportunity for institutions to potentially profit from shorting Bitcoin legally with 2X leverage. By utilizing leverage, institutions can enhance their potential returns if Bitcoin's price were to decline. However, it is important to acknowledge that investing with leverage also carries higher risks, as losses can be amplified. The notion of Bitcoin going higher before a potential downward move, highlights a possible trapping mechanism for bullish investors. If Bitcoin experiences a temporary price increase, it could entice optimistic investors to buy or hold their positions, only to face unexpected reversals in the future. Looking forward to read your opinion about it!

🔥 Why A Bitcoin ETF Is Hyper Bullish: See Gold!There's been a lot of bullish news recently surrounding a potential Bitcoin ETF. This ETF has been filed by both Blackrock and Fidelty. The potential approval of a Bitcoin spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) has the crypto community buzzing with excitement. A Bitcoin spot ETF could be a game-changer, fueling bullish momentum across the entire crypto market. A Bitcoin spot ETF would simplify the investment process, making Bitcoin more accessible to a broader range of investors. It would eliminate barriers like complex wallets and security concerns, attracting retail and institutional players and driving increased adoption. In order to determine the potential effects on the markets, we can take a look at a more recent approval of a commodity ETF: Gold. As seen on the chart, Gold saw a massive ~310% gain over the span of 6.5 years once the ETF had been approved. It's hard to determine whether BTC will experience a similar growth path, but I think it's quite safe to assume that it's 100% bullish if more people can easily invest in this asset.

Good or bad? Bitcoin ETF BlackRock While the crypto market is all green, amid the news about the BlackRock ETF, I decided to write a post about it. On December 15, two, the largest US company CME Group launched Bitcoin futures. CME is the only one who provides the opportunity to trade bitcoin futures in the United States and they are the first to enter the area of derivatives instrument for the cryptocurrency market. A week ago, BlackRock applied for approval of the Bitcoin ETF. BlackRock is an American international investment company headquartered in New York. One of the largest investment companies in the world and the largest in the world in terms of assets under management. As of the end of 2022, assets under management were $8.59 trillion. The probability of this application being approved by Blackrock is quite high Relying on historical data on SEC decisions regarding Blackrock's various ETF applications. BlackRock has an astounding success rate: 575 applications approved versus just one rejected. However, not everyone shares such a quick optimism. The fact is that in addition to the positive statistics on the SEC's approval of applications for various ETFs by Blackrock, there are also negative statistics on how many other applications just for bitcoin-ETFs the SEC rejected. The first attempts to register a Bitcoin ETF were made back in 2014 by the Winklevoss twin brothers. Since then, there have been more than 30 attempts to create a spot exchange-traded fund for bitcoin, but all applications have faced opposition from regulators, who cited market problems and a lack of investor protection. Among those rejected : Vaneck, one of the world's leading asset management companies. In March of this year, the company received its third consecutive rejection from the SEC to launch a spot ETF on bitcoin. SEC refusals to launch such investment products always report that there is no regulated cryptocurrency market, which means companies, including VanEck, simply "do not have joint oversight agreements with a regulated spot market of significant size for bitcoin trading." ARK is the investment firm of well-known investor Katie Wood. In April of this year, Ark Invest, along with Swiss company 21Shares, again attempted to coordinate a spot exchange-traded bitcoin fund with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. They already have two failed attempts under their belt. Grayscale, a company that manages cryptocurrency trusts and other investment products. The company is suing the SEC over its refusal to convert its own fund, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), into an exchange-traded fund (ETF). GBTC is now the best-known solution for buying bitcoin. However, shares of this fund are not allowed to trade on the first-tier stock exchanges, with Grayscale charging a management fee of about 2% per year, while traditional ETFs have a fee of 0.5%. Last year, the SEC approved a cryptocurrency ETF, but only for futures markets. It's a much more complex and expensive product for investors. "Another theory is that BlackRock may be aware that the SEC may lose the Grayscale case, and is going to play ahead to be prepared for the case to be lost and then suddenly open the way for a bitcoin ETF." Assuming the answer is yes, what happens afterwards? I interpret this news positively in the long run, because new big money will come to the cryptocurrency industry, and a lot of new things await us. BUT I think like last time, there will be another good entry point into the market formed for the big players. Thereby we may see the very corrective movement till September, November, and in these dates there will be already dispersed information about future halving, etc. and then there will be a real bull run first of all for Bitcoin. Read about where I expect the bottom of the correction in this post Best regards EXCAVO

Bitcoin Make or Break At Channel ResistanceBitcoin tagged the upper line of the downtrend channel yesterday after drifting higher over the weekend. It's make it or break it time as a failure to move up and out of the downtrend channel will likely result in a re-test of the lower channel line. Regardless of what you might hear, the SEC suing Coinbase and Binance is not bullish for cryptocurrencies. BlackRock filing for a Bitcoin ETF is also not bullish and likely will signal a top in the market if approved, much like when we saw the Bitcoin futures market come online during the 2017/2018 crypto bubble and the IPO for COIN during the 2020/2021 bubble. The only difference being that Blackrock is filing for a Bitcoin ETF during a bear market while the other two occurred during bull markets. My second largest position right now is short Bitcoin via the BITI ETF.
