CryptoQuant Predicts Bitcoin Correction Following Potential ETF Approval
On-chain analytics platform CryptoQuant suggests that Bitcoin may experience a significant correction as the market awaits potential approval of spot-based BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs). According to CryptoQuant, if Bitcoin ETFs are approved this month, it could trigger a “sell-the-news” event as investors look to secure their profits.
The on-chain data provider predicts that if a correction does occur following the approval of BTC ETFs by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Bitcoin could drop by nearly 30% from its current price. This would bring the price down to around $32,000 based on one metric called the short-term holder (STH) realized price.
The STH realized price tracks the average acquisition price of all Bitcoin that have not been moved for less than 155 days. A pullback to this level would erase most of the gains made by investors who bought BTC in the past five months.

As of now, Bitcoin is trading at $44,990, showing a growth of over 5% in the last 24 hours.
Hot Take: Potential Downside for Bitcoin After ETF Approval
If Bitcoin ETFs are approved this month, there is a possibility of a significant correction in the price of Bitcoin. On-chain analytics platform CryptoQuant believes that investors may take advantage of this event to lock in their profits, potentially leading to a sell-off. Based on one metric called the short-term holder realized price, if a correction does occur, Bitcoin could drop by almost 30% from its current price to around $32,000. This could wipe out most of the gains made by investors who bought BTC in the last five months or so.
