Crypto Price Prediction: The cryptocurrency market has recently been undergoing a correction phase, accelerated by the Bitcoin price drop below $42,000. This downward trend is largely driven by concerns surrounding the Bitcoin ETF launch, which is perceived as a possible ‘sell-the-news’ event, alongside Grayscale’s liquidation of its Bitcoin holdings.

Despite this, a closer examination using the Fibonacci retracement tool suggests that the current dip for many leading cryptocurrencies remains within a healthy retracement range. This observation hints at the possibility of market participants consolidating their positions, potentially setting the stage for a market rebound.

In a recent development, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has recognized proposals from Nasdaq and Cboe to initiate options trading on Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). 

Bloomberg’s ETF analyst, James Seyffart, has remarked on the surprising swiftness of Nasdaq’s response to this development.

The SEC has already acknowledged the 19b-4’s requesting the ability to trade options on spot #Bitcoin ETFs. This is faster than the SEC typically moves. Options could be approved before the end of February if the SEC wants to move fast?…

In light of these developments and the optimistic outlook for the near future, crypto traders can closely monitor Ethereum (ETH), Chainlink (LINK), and Akash Network (AKT), as they could present promising opportunities for new long positions.
