BTC Investor Demand Slumps
After the SEC approved spot Bitcoin ETFs, BTC investor demand in the US has decreased. Coinbase’s premium has turned negative for the first time in 2024 due to high selling activity from short-term holders.
Unrealized Profit Margins Still High
The Bitcoin market is unlikely to hit a price bottom soon as unrealized profit margins have not declined enough. Short-term holders’ unrealized profit has fallen, but it may need to go below 0% before a price bottom can be called.
Hot Take: BTC Faces Selling Pressure Amidst Spot ETF Approval
The approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs by the SEC did not result in increased demand from US investors. Instead, there has been a sell-off by short-term holders, leading to a decrease in BTC’s value. Unrealized profit margins are still high, indicating that a new rally is not expected at the moment. Traders may need to exercise caution as the market continues to experience price corrections.
