Bitcoin (BTC) Outlook Amid Regulatory Shifts

Bitcoin's price continues to decline, but there's optimism following recent US Department of Justice actions that may pave the way for approving Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Analysts point out that one obstacle to approval is the dominance of the Binance exchange in the Bitcoin market, which has shown weakness, recording a 3% decrease for the day, particularly after news related to Binance. Testing a critical support level at $36,788, and with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicating weakening momentum, BTC may face a decline. Increasing selling pressure below the $36,788 support within the extended range from $36,276 to $37,301 could present an opportunity for an extended price drop, with experts predicting it could reach the psychological level of $30,000.

Currently, the Awesome Oscillator (AO) bars have turned red and are inching towards the daily midpoint, suggesting a gradual bearish takeover. Conversely, rising buying pressure from investors looking to capitalize on the retest of the $36,788 level may push Bitcoin's price higher. Initially surpassing the local peak at $37,972, it could then test the higher range at $37,980 and ultimately achieve the psychological milestone of $40,000, representing a 10% increase from current levels.
