It comes after a dramatic developments in the spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) with the official X account of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) being compromised, leading to a fake announcement that all spot BTC ETFs applications had been approved. https://twitter.com/GaryGensler/status/1744833049064288387 The news that the announcement was fake triggered a sell-off, with more than $210 million liquidations recorded across the market, comprising $134 million longs and $67 million shorts. For the Bitcoin market, there were up to $56 million in liquidations.

Among the crypto executives that criticized the SEC were the Gemini twins, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, as well as Ripple CEO, Brad Garlinghouse. https://twitter.com/bgarlinghouse/status/1744840361715904695 Senator Bill Hagerty said, “Just like the SEC would demand accountability from a public company if they made such a colossal market-moving mistake, Congress needs answers on what just happened. This is unacceptable.” The incident isn't expected to affect whether the SEC approves or not spot BTC ETFs and news no that front is due by today, Wednesday, January 10. https://twitter.com/JSeyff/status/1744852656210739620 
<h2 id="filers-still-expect-approval-but-bitcoin-price-reacts-to-fake-news">Filers Still Expect Approval But Bitcoin Price Reacts To Fake News</h2> While the fake news caused a dip in Bitcoin price, filers still anticipate an approval, with Valkyrie Chief Investment Officer Steven McClurg saying it is 95% sure ETFs will trade on Thursday. https://twitter.com/crypto/status/1744916997563932919 Other executives that have expressed optimism include VanEck CEO Jan van Eck, who said ETFs are "all getting ready to basically list on Thursday.” This comes amid fees battles with all applications lowering their fees to capture their market. 
<h2 id="bitcoin-price-outlook-amid-expectations-for-spot-btc-etf-approvals">Bitcoin Price Outlook Amid Expectations For Spot BTC ETF Approvals</h2> After the fake spot Bitcoin ETF approval news was rebuffed by the SEC, the Bitcoin price dipped 5%. With the Simple Moving Average (SMA) northbound, this is the path with the least resistance. Increased buying pressure above current levels could see Bitcoin price extend to clear the range high at $47,972, or higher, the $48,000 psychological level. In a highly bullish case, BTC could extend to the $50,000 level. The green histogram bars of the Awesome Oscillator (AO) show the bulls maintain a strong presence in the BTC market. The position of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) above the mean level at 50 also points to a strong price strength, increasing the upside potential for BTC.

<h4><strong>Converse Case</strong></h4> On the other hand, if the sellers increase their selling momentum, Bitcoin price could drop, losing the support at $43,860. This is a critical level, marking the midline of a weekly supply zone. A break and close below it would confirm the continuation of the downtrend. Further south, the slump could extend below the $37,800 level, For the prevailing bullish outlook to be invalidated, however, BTC market value must drop below the $30,000 psychological level. 
<h2 id="on-chain-metrics-supporting-bitcoin-price-bullish-outlook">On-chain Metrics Supporting Bitcoin Price Bullish Outlook</h2> According to data from Santiment, a spike in two metrics, the Whale Transaction Count and Volume, supports the bullish outlook for Bitcoin price. With this uptick intensifying when the market crashed in the sell the news situation that followed the hacking incident, it suggests investors bought the dip. More closely, the whale transaction count metric for transfers of $100,000 and above spiked, bolstered the buy-the-dip assumption from institutional investors on January 9. With the volume metric coinciding with these spikes, the bullish outlook remains alive for BTC.
