Bitcoin Hangover After ETF Party: Were Bulls Blinded By Hype?
Portfolio Pulse from Murtuza Merchant
The launch of the first U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs led to record trading volumes but was followed by a price pullback in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin slid under $44,000, and analysts are divided on the market's future direction. Some, like Jim Cramer and Peter Schiff, predict a bearish trend, while others like Markus Levin and Bob Ras see the pullback as a temporary correction or buying opportunity. Ethereum has held steady, suggesting a possible investor shift from Bitcoin to altcoins. The impact of Bitcoin ETFs is still uncertain as they are in their early days.
