ETH consolidating before continuing its way to $4KEther extended its gains over the past 24 hours as investors now expect an approval of Van Eck’s application for a spot Ether exchange traded fund (ETF) as early as today or by tomorrow at the latest. This would be the first of nine similar applications to be approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
“ If they approve the Ethereum ETF, they are approving the entire industry. This is the last dam to be broken,” the crypto profile Anthony Pompliano said.
The price of Ether rose another 3 percent on these speculations over the past 24 hours. It has risen by 29 percent over the past seven days.
“If the spot ETH ETF is approved, it will be a true shock to everyone I know in DC who's close to this process. That doesn't mean it won't happen. It means approval could signal a major shift in US crypto policy after the SAB 121 vote, perhaps more important than the ETF itself,” the Chief Legal Officer of Variant Fund, Jake Chervinsky echoed.
The US Congress has turned down the SEC’s proposed SAB 121 regulation, which would have forced crypto custodians to record their clients’ crypto holdings as liabilities on their balance sheet. The concerned financial institutions would incur massive capital expenses if this regulation was enforced. The question now is whether President Joe Biden will veto the decisions of the two chambers as he has indicated he will do, or not.

Inflows into the above-mentioned Ether ETFs will reach between $15 and $45 billion by next summer, conditional on their approvals, according to the estimates of the Head of Forex and Digital Assets research at Standard Chartered Bank, Geoff Kendrick. He forecasts that the price of Ether will reach $8,000 by year-end, the Block reports.
Clouds with some sun are gathering over Ethereum in the next 24 hours, but bullish sunny vibes will be back within 3 days and extend to the one-week time horizon. This indicates further upside potential for ETH.

Cryptoforecast
BTC 24-Hour Upside Potential The 11 spot Bitcoin exchange traded funds (ETFs) approved in the US four months ago posted five days of consecutive inflows last week. Net inflows into the competing ETFs issued in Hong Kong three weeks ago have, however, been below expectations – a mere $228 million. In comparison, the US ETFs recorded inflows of $221 million on Friday, May 17, alone.
The above-mentioned ETFs, with the exclusion of the decade old AMEX:GBTC (Grayscale’s Bitcoin trust that converted into an ETF) now hold 2.78 percent of Bitcoin’s current supply in circulation, Bitcoin.com reports. They together hold 548,557 Bitcoins.
“Bitcoin’s institutional adoption is happening now,” Anthony Scaramucci, SkyBridge Capital’s founder told CNBC last week. He was Donald Trump’s spokesman for a short time during his presidency.
A bullish sun shines over Bitcoin in the next 24 hours and one week horizon, signaling upside potential.

ETH to Drop Further 📉; Clouds ☁️ & Rain On the Horizon 🌧️SEC postpones yet another decision on a spot Ether ETF application 🙄
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed its decision regarding the application of Invesco Galaxy’s spot ETH ETF to July 5.
The US regulator had already delayed its decision regarding Van Eck’s similar application to May 23 and that of Franklin Templeton’s to June 11. Few analysts expect an approval on these three dates.
The price of Ether dropped 3.37 percent to $2,947 over the past 24 hours. ATTMO forecasts clouds and rain for the next 24 hours and 7 days, signaling a likely downside for Ethereum.

BTC Upside Over the Next 24 Hrs ☀; Price to Drop Next Week ☁️The price of Bitcoin rallied 3.8 percent to $59,568 over the past 24 hours.
“#Bitcoin's market value has rebounded to $59.3K, and the percentage of the network's available supply in profit is at 84.4%. This CRYPTOCAP:BTC ratio is at its lowest level in 2 months. Lower levels generally justify more #bullish conditions,” the crypto intelligence firm Santiment said.
But not everyone is optimistic. Standard Chartered’s Head of Digital Assets Research, Geoffrey Kendrick, forecasts that the price of Bitcoin could drop to between $50,000 to $52,000, Bitcoin.com reports. The price of Bitcoin has ranged between $56,900 and $64,400 over the past week, Trading View’s Bitcoin chart shows.
Meanwhile research carried out by Fidelity Digital Assets shows that Bitcoin’s volatility is decreasing, even though the above trading ranges seem to contradict these findings.
A bullish sun shines over all crypto tokens covered by ATTMO in the next 24 hours, signaling upside potential. Over a one-week horizon, the trading forecast is mixed with Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, Avalanche and Binance Coin set to face bearish clouds, indicating downward pressure. Dogecoin, Cardano, Ripple’s XRP and Polygon should, however, continue to profit from the bullish sun.

ETH Slightly Bullish 24-Hours ☀, Bearish ☁️ & Downside Next WeekIn the US, there were outflows from the spot Bitcoin exchange traded funds (ETFs) for the sixth consecutive day. “We have seen six consecutive days of outflows, and as the average entry price ($57,300) approaches the current spot price ($59,800), we will likely see more ETF unwinding. Since March 18, the ETFs have seen outflows on 58% of all trading days,” 10x Research said in its daily note.
“This will likely lower prices to our target levels and cause a -25% to -29% correction from the $73,000 top - hence our price target of $52,000/$55,000 during the last three weeks,” the crypto research company forecasts.
In Hong Kong, the first trading day of the spot Bitcoin and ETH ETFs approved proved to be a cold shower with only $12 million flowing into these new ETFs. Analysts had expected up to $300 million. The price of Ether fell 2.5 percent to $2,918 over the past 24 hours.
A slightly bullish sun shines over Ethereum and ATTMO signals a potential upside over the next 24 hours. Over a one-week horizon, bearish clouds are likely to sweep over most of the cryptoverse putting pressure on Ethereum, indicating a potential price drop.

BTC Bearish 7-Day Forecast - Drop to $55K Imminent? The cryptocurrency trend was sharply negative over the past 48 hours, triggering liquidations exceeding $500 million over the past two days. The price of Bitcoin fell below $57,000, to a two-month low, as the Federal Reserve slashed hopes of rate cuts any time soon.
Inflation remains stuck at high levels, the Fed’s Chairman, Jerome Powell said, after keeping the US’ central bank’s benchmark rate unchanged at a 23-year high. An interest rate cut have is not likely to take place before September.
Analysts now await the release of the US April job figures tomorrow afternoon. The number of new jobs created is expected to have slowed down to 243,000 compared to March.
The price of Bitcoin lost 4.3 percent to $57,500 over the past 24 hours, to a level not seen since the end of February, Trading View’s Bitcoin chart shows.

A bullish sun will, however, shine over Ether, Avalanche, Ripple’s XRP and many other altcoins covered by ATTMO.
🌥 Over a one-week horizon, bearish clouds are likely to sweep over most of the cryptoverse putting additional pressure on Bitcoin, Ether, Cardano… Dogecoin, Polkadot and Polygon are set to buck this negative trend as bullish sun is forecast to shine over them over the coming week.
BTC drops further in the next couple of days; rebound next weekThe cryptocurrency trend was mixed over the past 24 hours ahead of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision tomorrow. The benchmark interest rate is expected to be left unchanged at 5.25 percent; a 23-year high.
Investors will instead carefully analyze the wording about its future path. Some analysts expect three rate cuts later this year, while others forecast one or none as inflation concerns have reemerged in recent weeks. High interest rates do not support risky assets such as cryptocurrencies.
Meanwhile, the outflows from the largest spot Bitcoin exchange traded funds (ETFs) approved in the US continued for the fourth consecutive day. Last week, digital investment products (including the above-mentioned ETFs) saw outflows for a third consecutive week, the asset manager CoinShares reports. The majority of the outflows were recorded by the incumbent Grayscale ETF, GBTX, which was converted into an ETF in January.
The price of Bitcoin has dropped almost 10 percent over the past month, Trading View’s Bitcoin chart shows but rose 1.3 percent to $63,128 over the past 24 hours.

ETH to 2,800 in the next 3 days ☁️, then rebound?May approvals of spot ETH ETFs in the US seem out of question. The meetings held between the asset managers that have filed spot Ether ETF applications and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have been one-sided and discouraging, CryptoSlate reports. This is in stark opposition to the meetings held ahead of the SEC’s approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in January, when the regulator had provided significant feedback on the applications. The price of Ether dropped 3.4 percent to $3,208 over the past 24 hours.

Plans by the Swiss cryptoverse to push for the addition of Bitcoins to the alpine country’s currency reserves seem shattered following comments made by the head of the Swiss National Bank.

Its price has since then risen 3.2 percent, Trading View’s Bitcoin chart shows.

ETH - ☀️ & Slightly Bullish for the Week AheadLast week, three issuers obtained approval to launch spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs by Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC). These new funds will start trading on April 30, according to various sources, including 10x Research.
The approval of the first spot ETH ETFs in the US next month does, however, seem unlikely.
“Eerily quiet on spot eth ETFs… Consensus is SEC will disapprove in May. Reason = lack of engagement w/ issuers. Logic says that’s correct, but also wonder if SEC learned lesson from clown show w/ spot btc ETFs. Either way, options are either A) approve or B) face lawsuit IMO,” said Nate Geraci, the co-founder of the ETF Institute.
The price of Ether fell 1.1 percent to $3,187 over the past 24 hours.

BTC - ☀️ & Bullish Potential For The Next Week A very strong sun shines over Bitcoin and Chainlink in the next 24 hours, indicating some upside potential lying ahead. Other altcoins, including Ether, Ripple’s XRP and Cardano will also profit from this bullish trend, while Litecoin and Uniswap face bearish clouds.
These sunny bullish trading conditions should prevail over the cryptoverse the coming week, as leading tech companies will announce their quarterly results. Avalanche, Binance Coin and Uniswap won’t profit from this bullish mood and face bearish clouds, which signal downside risks.
“A massive supply shock is coming. With the Bitcoin halving, miners can now only produce 450 BTC each day. The ETFs in the US have bought up around 3,214 BTC on average each day. This number could increase significantly when Hong Kong ETFs start trading,” the crypto profile Lark Davis said.
Analysts at leading banks disagree on whether the price of Bitcoin will continue up following Friday’s halving. Deutsche Bank expects prices to “stay high due to expectations of future spot ether (ETH) ETF approvals; future central bank rate cuts; and regulatory changes” but do “not expect them to increase significantly,” Bitcoin.com reports.

BTC Bullish 24 Hours ☀️ ; Bearish Trends In the Medium-Term ☁️The cryptocurrency trend was negative over the weekend as tensions escalated in the Middle East. “Predictable unpredictability is the new normal… For markets in the short term, this should lead to position reduction,” Handelsbanken wrote in its daily note.
The price of Bitcoin fell to a low of $61,078 on Saturday. This market volatility led to liquidations of mainly long positions exceeding $1.6 billion on Friday and Saturday. Bitcoin has since somewhat recovered and is now up 1.3 percent to $65,111 over the past 24 hours.
Another factor that will impact the crypto universe over the coming week is Bitcoin’s halving. “While positive in the long term, the halving could cause mild short-term turbulence due to block production slowdowns,” K33 Research writes. Bitcoin's halving is set to happen on Saturday.
A bullish sun ☀️ shines over the global crypto market in the next 24 hours, signaling upside potential across the board, as cryptocurrencies rebound following the weekend’s selloff.

BTC Bullish ☀️ Over the Next Week - Further Upside LikelyThe cryptocurrency trend was positive over the past 24 hours ahead of Bitcoin’s halving next week and despite the release of higher-than-expected US inflation data that initially pushed prices lower.
“Whether the Fed cut rates 25bps in June or not isn't the long-term driver of bitcoin prices right now. It's a marginal factor. ETF flows + rising deficits matter more, and they are lining up very well for bitcoin,” commented Matt Hougan, Bitwise Invest’s chief investment officer.
The spot Bitcoin exchange traded funds (ETFs) approved in the US three months ago exactly recorded $124 million in net inflows on Wednesday. There are currently roughly 19,680,000 Bitcoins in circulation.
“Investors in US ETFs own 838,730, or 4.3 %. If we exclude the BTC that has not moved in the last 3 years (9,650,000), the US ETFs own 8.4%. If we exclude the BTC that has not moved in the last 1 years (15,190,000), the U.S. ETFs own 18.7%,” the crypto profile @HODL15Capital noted.
Quarterly regulatory filings starting to drip in also show that financial advisers have acquired spot Bitcoin ETFs. Signal Advisors, for example, reported that it holds more than 20,000 of BlackRock’s NASDAQ:IBIT ETF, BlockBeats reports.

BTC - Bullish Trend On For the Next 7 Days ☀️ Later today, a record worth of Bitcoin options, $9.5 billion, are set to expire, a factor that may cause volatility, The Block reports. The release of key US inflation data, the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index, may also impact the crypto universe if the February data comes in above expectations. Analysts foresee the PCE index up 2.5 percent year-on-year, a level that remains above the Federal Reserve’s 2 percent target.
Over the past 24 hours, price of Bitcoin was down 0.5 percent at $70,076, which is 5 percent below its all-time high reached mid-March.

Bullish ☀️ Shines on ETH, Upside Potential For The Entire WeekThe deadline for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to decide whether to approve or reject eight spot Ether ETF applications on its table lapses in less than two months. However, there seems to be little contact with the concerned asset managers, contrary to last fall prior to the approval of the first nine spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US.
“Re Eth ETF approval, we are holding the line at 25% odds altho tbh it is a very pessimistic 25%. The lack of engagement seems to be purposeful vs procrastination. No positive signs/intel anywhere you look. Personally hope they do approve it but it just ain't looking good,” Bloomberg’s ETF analyst, Eric Balchunas, said.
The Chief Legal Officer of Grayscale, Craig Salm remains confident of their approval. “In the final months leading up to #Bitcoin ETF approval, @Grayscale and others received positive and constructive engagement from the SEC. We had thoughtful conversations and discussed the finer details of creation/redemption procedures, cash v. in-kind, APs, LPs, custody etc.”
“All of these issues were figured out and are identical when comparing spot #Bitcoin to #Ethereum ETFs. The only difference is rather than the ETF holding bitcoin, it holds ether. So in many ways, the SEC already has engaged and issuers simply have less to engage on this time,” Salm added.
The price of Ether fell 1.4 percent to $3,609 over the past 24 hours.
Mixed trading conditions lie ahead for the global crypto market in the next 24 hours, with a bullish sun shining over Bitcoin and Ether. Bearish clouds, signaling downside risks, linger over Ripple’s XRP, Cardano and Binance Coin.

BTC Bullish Rally Before the Halving Event ☀️🚀Cryptocurrencies rebounded over the past 24 hours, after a week of profit taking and ahead of Friday’s options expiries. Almost $9 billion worth of Bitcoin options will expire then, an event likely to trigger price volatility, Deribit data shows.
The price of Bitcoin rallied 5.5 percent to $70,862 over the past 24 hours, trading 4 percent below its all-time high. Bitcoin’s halving in less than a month’s time is another supporting factor. Read more about its halving here.
“#Bitcoin has just caught traders off guard (as usual) with a huge rebound ascension to $70K. Why? Key #Bitcoin stakeholders had one of their single largest accumulation days in years. 51,959 collective #Bitcoin were accumulated . This translates to 0.263% of the entire currently available supply being accumulated in one day. As we close in on the final three weeks of the #halving on April 19th, it would be unsurprising to see these wallets continue to grow, resulting in a positive impact on #crypto-wide market caps,” the crypto intelligence firm Santiment said.
The crypto universe is also boosted by comments from BlackRock’s Head of Digital Assets Robert Mitchnick. A modest concentration of Bitcoin in a portfolio can turn it into a diversifier, as the crypto coin generally is uncorrelated to other assets and has different fundamental drivers, CNBC quotes him as saying.
A bullish sun, indicating upside potential, shines over the global crypto market and Bitcoin in the next 24 hours and coming week, ATTMO shows. Over a one-week horizon, the largest cryptocurrency should continue to profit from the bullish trading conditions.
