Blackrock’s Bitcoin ETF Holdings
After just over two trading days, BlackRock’s Spot Bitcoin ETF holds 11,439 BTC valued at over $497 million, marking a successful debut for the iShares Bitcoin Trust, while BlackRock CEO Larry Fink expresses strong support for digital assets, likening Bitcoin to gold as a protective asset.
Upcoming Ethereum ETF?
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink expressed interest in having a spot Ethereum (ETH) ETF, following the recent approval of 11 spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs by the US SEC, addressing the long-standing demand from US investors for cryptocurrency spot ETFs.
S&P Outlook
Bear Case: Bears are actively defending the supply zone that begins at 4834 and extends up to 4860. This area is crucial for bears to maintain control, as a successful defense could lead to a downward movement towards the next significant level at 4740, a historical key point in market movements.
Bull Case: On the bullish front, a critical challenge lies in breaking and sustaining above the 4840 mark. Achieving this would be a sign of potential upward continuation, with the immediate target being the top of the current supply zone at 4860, followed by the next daily supply level at 4924. In case of a price retracement, bulls should focus on defending the 4740 level, which is strategically positioned just above a Daily Demand zone starting at 4735.50.
