Bitcoin MACD: Analysis
The aerial accident highlights the bounce did not appear as a abruptness to many; markets fell by a agnate $10bn aback the Winkelvoss ETF was alone aback in backward July, and there are some who feel the best contempo bounce was already congenital to the amount of Bitcoin.
The CBOE ETF is the one the association is best absorbed in. The SEC’s cessation of its decision until backward September acquired a abreast $60bn meltdown, bringing the total amount bottomward beneath $200bn: a annual low.
What today’s able MACD helps quantify is the bazaar access for bitcoin ETFS, excepting the CBOE application. A baby negative knee-jerk acknowledgment but prices anon stabilize, the drive continuing about unabated.
There are already rumors circulating over ETFs’ abiding ability for the crypto market: does the absolute admission investors accept to BTC buying abate the accomplished purpose of an ETF, such as the one proposed by CBOE?
These are aloof indicators of course; affective averages apery actual data. There can be no complete agreement that a absolute arresting from a MACD will apparent into annihilation of substance. They cannot appearance the backbone abaft the momentum, and traders can afield advance into a movement which doesn’t about-face into a able trend: accepted as a “whipsaw”.
Chances are prices will access in the actual countdown to the abutting accommodation borderline for the CBOE bitcoin ETF, September 30th. The slight uptick could be the alpha of this trend; the likelihood is the accommodation will be delayed afresh and drive will bead off.
