Bakkt platform, CBOE ETF withdrawal, more Wall Street manipulation for Bitcoin

Bitcoin inherently doesnt work any different than traditional commodity markets, informed players accumulate under the radar and manipulate the media to shake out scared money.

With the ETF withdrawal and price testing the 3-4000 area the market is scared to buy but in reality smart money is anxious to buy and get their contracts filled.

After this delayed reaction from the ETF withdrawal and other ppl spreading FUD we will most likely see a hard squeeze of shorts and a quick recovery for a few months. Bitcoin pump and dumps usually peak at 100-150% gains so be mindful of short term euphoria. Altcoins will simply lag behind like they always do.

The same goes for crypto, Bitcoin has had a supercycle since 2016 and now another 6-7 months consolidation as the market has seen before, OTC hype is strong amongst institutions interested in the trade, this goes as high as the governments investment funds. I believe we are in for the next crypto super cycle and we will see some interesting decentralized applications come out of this.

Bitcoin Derivatives, CME Futures & Crypto as a Financial Instrument

CME just announced they are going to launch futures contracts for Bitcoin due to strong demand. CME is the largest exchange and this is a big step towards maturity of the Bitcoin market, most likely a lot of liquidity will flow into the futures and some large hedge players are going to make use of Bitcoin as a trading instrument.
