- Bitcoin slipped to lower ground in a slow-moving week.
- The fresh request for an ETF did not help.
- The technical picture is bearish for BTC/USD, but experts see a short-term recovery.
Bitcoin drifted lower, without dramas this time. Jan Van Eck, the man behind the VanEck and SolidX partnership, said that funds are flowing towards gold, this according to a survey of crypto investors.
VanEck also provided some good news. The venture including also the CBOE has resubmitted the rule change request to the Securities and Exchanges Commission. The SEC is working once again after the government shutdown ended, at least for now. However, it may take its time before deciding on the fate of much-needed Bitcoin ETF.
NVidia reported is earnings and warned about falling sales due to weaker demand from crypto-miners. The flow of bad news continues, but can Bitcoin find a bottom?
Long periods of low volatility usually end abruptly, but to which direction? The doom and gloom may have gone too far, and a bounce may be seen sooner rather than later.
