Bitcoin has reached its highest level in 18 months, surging to $37,960 on the back of optimism surrounding the potential approval of a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). The cryptocurrency is now eyeing the next resistance level at $39,860. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has an eight-day window to issue approval orders for the pending Bitcoin ETF applications. Analysts believe there is a 90% chance of approval by January 10, even if it doesn’t happen this month. A recent court win by Grayscale Investments has reignited hopes for the introduction of Bitcoin ETFs. Bullish sentiment is expected to continue throughout the year, with approval likely to drive a wave of demand in the crypto sector. This move into the mainstream is also expected to tap into institutional demand.
