🚨 Major Crypto News: SEC Approves First US 3x Leveraged Bitcoin and Ethereum Products 🇺🇸
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved the listing of 3x leveraged Bitcoin and Ether funds, alongside similar products for gold, silver, oil, and gas.
For the first time, US investors gain access to an exchange-traded product offering this level of leveraged exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum price movements, without the need to manually open a leveraged position on a trading platform.
This move is set to bring a new wave of liquidity and speculators to Bitcoin and Ethereum.
$ETH has been chopping around vs $BTC for the past few weeks.
No real action here besides some intra day volatility here and there.
But the trend has been up since June. As long as BTC remains its bullish market structure, I do believe ETH will at least keep up if not outperform. Just like it has been doing.
If the market were to go risk off for whatever reason, the Daily 200MA/EMA would be a good level to watch on the ETH/BTC pair.
$BTC There has been quite a bit of open interest ramp up over the past two days.
Well over $1.3B on Bitcoin alone has entered.
Presumably the majority is longs that have built up into the price that has grinded up. Most are obviously sitting comfy but that last leg in open interest saw a lot enter in the $85.5-$86K region.
Bulls need to keep it above that area to not risk a reversal and squeeze of those (late) longs. But the coinbase discount has slowly been going down so that means there's some spot bid coming back slowly the past day or two.
We have NFP coming up in a little under 5 hours. With yields high and inflation fears still going, a lot of investors will be looking at this number. Especially at the start of a new quarter, this is bound to cause volatility.
