The Bitcoin price dropped by a fraction of a percentage in the last 24 hours to trade at $51,136 as of 05:58 a.m. EST on trading volume that plunged 14% to $23 billion.
This comes as two officials of the European Central Bank (ECB), Ulrich Bindseil and Jürgen Schaaf, say that Bitcoin is not a valuable financial asset, with its fair value at zero. Their sentiments come despite the U.S. approving the spot BTC ETFs (exchange-traded funds).

The ECB officials state that the decision by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) does not change the idea that BTC is not a suitable means of payment or investment.
However, BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes believes two catalysts could send Bitcoin soaring to “unfathomable heights.” One of the reasons is the launch of spot BTC ETFs, which are continuously drawing massive inflows into the market.

Bitcoin Price Bullish, Finds Support At $50,000
The Bitcoin price has been rallying in February, supported by the inverse head-and-shoulders pattern. This allowed the bulls to drive the price higher, though they encountered resistance at $53,000.
Over the last seven days, the BTC price has been in a consolidation phase and is currently trading within a range.
BTC is trading slightly below the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), as it coincides with the current price movement. However, the price is above the 200-day SMA, affirming the bullish prospects of the BTC price.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is rebounding, headed north towards the midline level at 44, indicating growing buying pressure and a chance for investors to buy more.
Moreover, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) supports the current downward trend of the price, as the moving average line (blue) trades below the signal line (orange). There are signs of an impending bullish reversal, as the red bars seem to diminish towards the neutral level.
Bitcoin Price Prediction
Although currently in a range, Bitcoin price bulls are looking to soar the price higher, capitalizing on the ascending triangle pattern. Additionally, the RSI is currently below the 50-midline level, although heading north, signaling more buys incoming to soar the price. The bulls are looking to hit the $55,000 psychological barrier.
However, if the bears exert more pressure, $50,600 and $49,000 are the key support areas, acting as cushions against downward pressure.
Meanwhile, investors looking for turbocharged returns on their investments are looking at Bitcoin Minetrix, a BTC derivative that analysts believe has the potential to go ballistic on launch.
