Analyst Notes: Cryptocurrency analyst Michael Van de Poppe said that the total market capitalization for crypto has reached the target of $1.8 trillion. “Time to remain calm on the total market capitalization, Bitcoin to consolidate, and Altcoins to flourish. Any dip of 20% is an opportunity to get in, in my opinion.”

According to pseudonymous analyst Crypto Tony, Bitcoin has hit the $47,000 mark, which he had previously identified as a top due to resistance points. The analyst has taken profits on his long position at $47,000 and is currently observing the market for the next move. Crypto Tony has set his stop loss at $41,000 for his long position.

Ethereum is poised to become the next cryptocurrency asset to be listed on a spot market ETF, according to an analysis by IntoTheBlock’s Lucas Outumuro.

Outumuro notes that Ethereum has shown significant outperformance compared to Bitcoin in the past few days, especially following the false reports of approval for spot-based BTC ETFs. The head of research at the firm indicates that Ethereum’s sudden surge indicates that traders are anticipating the approval of spot market Ethereum ETF applications.

“Ether has outperformed Bitcoin by over 10% since the initial fake approval of the spot ETF came out on Tuesday. With Blackrock and several other entities having pending applications for Ethereum spot ETF applications, the market appears to be giving it high odds they will pass.”
