There has been interesting volatility on BTC in the past 24 hours, with fake news being released on X, alleging that the SEC approved Blackrock's iShare spot ETF (they haven't).
Directly from the Cointelegraph website, 16 hours ago:
"Earlier today, during routine coverage, Cointelegraph’s social media team posted a message on X without prior editorial approval stating that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission had approved BlackRock’s iShares spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund, or ETF. This was false, the result of misinformation. The news lead originated from an unconfirmed screenshot posted by an X user who claimed it was from the Bloomberg Terminal. "
Pretty much immediately after this article, the price started to retrace. It seems to me like severe insider trading / purposeful deceit. Interestingly enough, the price turned at EXACTLY 30K which seems very unnatural. It will be interesting to see whether the SEC reacts to this, or if it's just another day in crypto.
Luckily, as per all our previous posts on altcoins, I'm not trading BTC at the moment. Reason being I was expecting algo's on Bitcoin, as range trading often attracts bots. My focus is still on altcoins at the moment.
