Crypto Price Prediction: The market excitement towards spot Bitcoin ETFs, which started its trading days on Thursday, has started to decline. Despite witnessing a $4.6 billion trading volume on its listing days, the crypto market witnessed a sudden sell-off on Friday which recorded a 7.5% Drop in Bitcoin, 3.66% in Ethereum, and a 6-7% drop in XRP and Solana.
Anthony Scaramucci, the founder of SkyBridge Capital, recently shared his insights with Bloomberg on the factors influencing Bitcoin’s recent downturn. He highlighted that the decline in Bitcoin’s value could be partly attributed to the sale of Grayscale Bitcoin Trust shares. This activity intensified following the trust’s conversion to an ETF, a move approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. According to Scaramucci, investors are offloading these shares to realize losses and are moving towards options with lower fees.
Additionally, Scaramucci highlighted another factor impacting Bitcoin’s price: the bankruptcy estate of FTX possibly selling off assets in response to the ETF announcement.
Despite these downward pressures, he remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s near-term prospects.
“There is a heavy volume of selling in Bitcoin right now. I do expect the supply overhang to be done in the next six to eight trading days.”
Thus, the BTC price may recuperate the bullish momentum in this correction and resume the recovery trend further.

The recent launch of the first-ever spot Bitcoin ETF in the U.S. has been a notable event in the cryptocurrency market. However, Bitcoin (BTC) itself has faced challenges in surpassing the $48,000 resistance level.
Over the past 48 hours, there’s been a significant 12.5% drop in its value, bringing the price down to $42,943. This decline occurred after a reversal from the $48,000 barrier.
Presently, Bitcoin price is striving to maintain its value above a critical support level, which includes the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level and a newly forming ascending trendline.
Such retracements are often seen as beneficial for the long-term trend, providing an opportunity for buyers to consolidate their positions. The resilience of this support level is evident as the price has repeatedly bounced back from it, suggesting an ongoing accumulation by buyers during these market dips, an indicator of a potential recovery.
In a recent post from on-chain data provider Glassnode. Bitcoin’s Hash Rate has hit a new record high, surpassing 600 EH/s! This incredible milestone means the network is now making over 600 quintillion calculations per second to solve the complex puzzles in block mining.
Increasing difficulty in mining and an upcoming halving event, could lead to a decreasing supply of new Bitcoin and potentially putting upward pressure on the price. Thus a bullish bounce from the aforementioned support could bolster buyers to rechallenge the $48000 barrier and chase potential targets of $53000, followed by $60000.
