Bitcoin Stays in Tight Range Amid SEC ETF Decision Uncertainty

Smagin
Bitcoin consolidates in tight range ahead of SEC ETF ruling. Technicals show bearish pressure via Ichimoku, but sentiment hinges on regulatory outcome.

Bitcoin price remains confined to an 8% range, waiting for catalysts—especially the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) decision on Bitcoin ETF applications. Earlier this week, the SEC rejected ProShares’ proposal, citing failure to meet Section 6(b)(5) of the Exchange Act, which requires measures to prevent market manipulation. Today, however, the agency announced it will reconsider that decision after reviewing all data submitted by the applicants.
