BTC and ETH reversed course as both assets search for underlying support, suggesting that bears are attempting to trap over-leveraged bulls. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) have both witnessed aggressive profit-booking after hitting their respective new all-time high. This suggests that traders who had bought on rumors of a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund booked profits following the successful launch of the ProShares’ Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO). The bulls tried to stage a recovery in Bitcoin after the launch of the second BTC futures-linked ETF by digital asset manager Valkyrie on Oct.…

Bitcoin (BTC) rose within a few steps of $63,000 today for the first time since April 18.

According to these documents, the regulator may be close to green lighting the application to list Valkyrie’s Bitcoin Strategy…

Bitcoin remains strong above its recent breakout level, but several major altcoins will be under pressure until BTC reveals its next move. Bitcoin (BTC) has been sustaining above $54,000 for the past few days but that has not resulted in euphoria among investors. Google Trends data shows that Bitcoin search interest has not picked up in recent days and is nearing one-year lows.

Analysts say Bitcoin has started its journey toward a new all-time high and the sideways action from altcoins suggests traders are shifting funds into BTC.

The strong rally in Bitcoin in the past few days has boosted sentiment and analysts are back with their six-figure projections. Geoffrey Kendrick, head of emerging market currency research…

Bitcoin and select altcoins are facing selling at higher levels, indicating that short-term traders may be booking profits after the recent rally.

The bank’s analysts speculated that institutional investors may be preferring Bitcoin over gold as a better hedge against inflation. A recent study titled “Cryptocurrencies and the Sharpe Ratio of Traditional Investment Models” by…
