Bitcoin SV (BSV) bulls remain in the driving seat, with the cryptocurrency up another 6.5% on Thursday as its extends its gains this week to over 27%.
, a 2018 fork of the blockchain that claimed to be aimed at bringing Bitcoin in line with Bitcoin creator vision (hence its name Bitcoin Satoshi Vision or Bitcoin SV), was last trading just above $43 per token, just off its highest levels since early July.
The cryptocurrency, which last had a market cap of around $830 million, doesn’t appear to have been boosted by any Bitcoin SV-specific news or catalysts.
Rather, BSV’s rally appears to be a function of gains in the (BTC) market this week on speculation the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will , .
False rumors did the rounds on Monday that the SEC had just approved Wall Street giant BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF application, sending Bitcoin briefly as high as $30,000.
While that news was fake, it acted as a warning shot for the Bitcoin bears to stay out of the market, given they could quickly get liquidated by a quick ETF-news-related price pump.
It also served as proof that spot ETF application approvals in the US are still not fully priced in.
Bitcoin was last trading with a positive bias to the north of the $28,500 level – in light of the over their rejection of the digital asset manager’s spot Bitcoin ETF application, analysts are more optimistic than ever that the agency is preparing to approve a batch of spot Bitcoin ETFs in 2024.
That optimism could keep a floor under the Bitcoin price for now.
While its correlation to Bitcoin is far from perfect, this should also help Bitcoin SV bulls remain in control.
Price Prediction – Where Next for Bitcoin SV (BSV)?
Bitcoin SV’s latest price pump, which has seen it hit new highs for the month, has opened the door to a potentially rapid move back towards BSV’s highs for the year near $57.
That’s because the latest pump has seen SV break substantially to the north of all of its major moving averages (in the $33-35 area) and continue an uptrend that has been in play since the August lows at $26.
BSV’s 200DMA has been acting as strong resistance now going pretty much all the way back to early 2021.
While BSV was able to break above its 200DMA substantially back in June/early July, this move higher proved short-lived.
Bulls will be hoping the latest jump above the 200DMA is more sustained and a sign that the long bear market has finally come to an end.
