Despite the approval of an exchange-traded fund (ETF) for spot Bitcoin (Bitcoin) will likely cause the price to rise, although some analysts fear this may not be enough to fully rescue the markets from the crypto winter.
On October 24, Bitcoin surged more than 14%, its biggest daily rally in over a year, on news that BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF ticker – IBTC was listed on the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) website. A positive step towards the launch of the fund.
It turned out that the increase was stronger than the report published by Cointelegraph on October 16. wrong post He suggested approving a spot Bitcoin ETF on X.

IG International analyst Tony Sycamore told Cointelegraph that he expects Bitcoin to continue rising to new yearly highs on announcement day, while technical analyst Rachael Lucas of Australian exchange BTC Markets said: BlackRock’s ETF approval will be a catalyst for the rest of the traditional financial sector.

However, there is a possibility that “the rally will be sustained,” according to Sycamore, but a large-scale recovery seems unlikely given that interest rates remain significantly higher than when the asset reached its previous historical high.
CMC Markets analyst Tina Teng also thinks: It would be right to adopt a more cautious attitude.Because a complete reversal of the trend is not guaranteed.

“Bitcoin does not yet have the fundamentals to support quantitative valuation like stocks and does not have the scope of use like commodities. An approval from the SEC cannot change the nature of a speculative asset.”

“Macro changes will have a strong impact on cryptocurrency markets, which typically begin to trend upward during the Fed rate-cutting cycle.”Teng concluded his words.
The certainty and timing of Bitcoin ETF approval is still a matter of debate. Although unlikely, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Gary Gensler could wait until the last minute to reject applications in an “incredibly sadistic” manner, ETF analysts said.
