Bitcoin price dropped on August 7, which led it to $28.74k, repeating the scenario from August 1. However, just like then, the price quickly recovered, climbing slightly higher than where it was before the brief drop.<\/p>\n

After breaking the support at $29k, Bitcoin surged back to $29,250, which proved to be strong resistance. In fact, this resistance has held the coin’s price from going further up for the last 12 hours, rejecting its price three times during that time.<\/p>\n

However, it also seems that Bitcoin found a minor support at $29.10k, so its price fluctuated between these two levels for the last 12 hours, continuing to push the coin deeper into trading sideways, as it uncharacteristically did for the previous month.<\/p>\n

SEC’s Decision to Come on August 13<\/h2>\n

It has been around two months since leading US asset managers started filing for Bitcoin spot ETFs, and while the SEC rejected them all in the first wave, the refilings are expected to bring better results. Specifically, the SEC will likely finally approve a Bitcoin ETF in the country after a decade of various companies trying to get it to do so.<\/p>\n

The significant ruling on ARK’s application for a Bitcoin spot ETF is coming, with the deadline<\/a> being August 13. This will be a big move for the entire crypto industry. Many believe that Bitcoin requires a solid catalyst to make it start a bull run, and since the halving won’t happen until mid-2024, an ETF approval in the US might be strong enough to do it instead.<\/p>\n

Of course, this is only speculation, and many argue that a BTC ETF would not change things much for Bitcoin or the rest of the crypto industry.<\/p>\n

Preston Pysh Expects BTC to Climb 100% Each Year<\/h2>\n

Investor and podcaster Preston Pysh recently offered his prediction involving the price of Bitcoin, where he said that the coin would put up 100% gains annually. Pysh’s bold prediction came during his interview with Scott Melker when he said that Bitcoin would grow into a noticeable store of value and a hedge against increasing debasement of fiat currencies, especially the US dollar.<\/p>\n
