bitcoin etf: Bitcoin slips below $67.2k; Ethereum falls over 4% despite approval of spot
“Bitcoin is trading around $67,000 following some profit-taking after reaching $71,000 on Wednesday,” said Edul Patel, CEO of Mudrex.
Meanwhile, Ethereum declined despite the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approving the sale of spot Ether Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) in the United States on May 23, 2024.
This is the SEC’s second decision regarding crypto Exchange-Traded Products. Earlier this year, in January 2024, the SEC approved Bitcoin ETFs after a long battle.
Ethereum has surged over 30% in the past week. “If the bulls can maintain the current price level, the next resistance points are at $3,900 and then $4,100,” Edul said.
Among other major crypto tokens, BNB (-3.8%), Solana (-6.3%), Dogecoin (-5.1%), Toncoin (-4.8%), Cardano (-5.2%), Shiba Inu (-6.6%), and Avalanche (-6%) declined.
The global cryptocurrency market cap fell 3.4% to around $2.5 trillion in the last 24 hours, while the total crypto market volume was $146.74 billion, which makes a 55.34% increase. The volume of all stablecoins is now $135.99 billion, which is 92.67% of the total crypto market 24-hour volume, as per data available on CoinMarketCap.
“ETH has continued to outperform BTC, which is a positive sign as ETH’s dominance rises. Key resistance levels for ETH are at $3,963 and $4,085. Funding rates among coins remain neutral, which is positive,” said CoinDCX Research Team.
For BTC, key levels to clear for an upside move are $71,300 and $73,800, CoinDCX said.
