 <p class="paragraph">As the week starts, the broader <a rel="dofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a>currency market is witnessing losses in what might be a wary response to the possible approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF.</p> 
 <p class="paragraph">Altcoins are facing challenges as the week of the potential Bitcoin ETF approaches. This is unsurprising given the current emphasis on Bitcoin (BTC). However, momentum is expected to return to altcoins after the ETF event,&nbsp; <a rel="dofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> analyst Michael van de Poppe X noted on January 8.</p> 
 <blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> 
  <p class="paragraph">“Altcoins are suffering as Bitcoin ETF week is approaching. Not strange, as the focus is entirely skewed towards Bitcoin. After the ETF, momentum is likely coming back in altcoins. Range remains defined on Bitcoin. Buying 10%+ dips, selling at $48-51K,” he noted.</p>
