Despite expectations for a rally following the SEC’s approval of spot <a href="https://en.bitcoinhaber.net/bitcoins-bright-horizon-a-wave-of-optimism-and-hodling-trends" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> ETFs, Bitcoin’s (BTC) price drop below $39,000 has heightened investor concerns. Analysts identified five potential triggers for the unexpected selling pressure: FTX’s asset liquidation, the “buy the rumor, sell the news” phenomenon post-ETF approval, investors taking profits, regulatory worries, and macroeconomic developments.
FTX’s liquidation of approximately $1 billion in Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) shares during its bankruptcy process heavily impacted the market. The SEC’s approval of the first spot ETF in the US initially boosted optimism but quickly turned into a sell-off trigger. Grayscale faced criticism for its role in dragging down the market.
Despite SEC approvals, Grayscale’s GBTC lagged in trading volume compared to peers like BlackRock, with significant outflows and substantial Bitcoin transfers to exchanges, increasing sell pressure. Investors began taking profits, spurred by ETF hype and the upcoming block reward halving, yet many experts remain optimistic about ETFs’ potential to attract significant entries in the future.
Aggressive regulatory stances by the SEC against major crypto players and the combined negative approaches of figures like Senator Elizabeth Warren and SEC Chairman Gary Gensler have created uncertainty. Global players working on comprehensive crypto regulations add to investors’ concerns for clarity.
As major economic indicators such as the US Q4 GDP and PCE inflation data are set to be released, investors are bracing for their market impact. The Federal Reserve’s potential hawkish moves could trigger stronger sell pressure in the crypto market. Meanwhile, seasoned crypto analyst Ali Martinez warns that Bitcoin could fall to $32,700, drawing on historical retracement patterns and advising investors to be cautious of potential price movements.
