After breaking below the $100,000 level for the second time this month, the bears look to have taken full control of the Bitcoin price. The last week has been categorized by slow market movement, with Bitcoin chopping more sideways and then moving further down with each decision. At this point, it seems that there is a major hunt for liquidity in the market that could trigger further decline, something highlighted by crypto analyst TehThomas in a recent post.

Bitcoin Price Needs To Reclaim $97,000

Thomas’ analysis focuses on the recent Bitcoin price breakouts that have ultimately ended with the cryptocurrency giving the gains back to the market in a dramatic way. This comes after the Bitcoin price completed its foray into new all-time high levels, clearing $126,000 in the process. However, since then, it has been a tale of a slow decline.

Most of this decline has been a result of direct selling, especially with billion-dollar whales dumping their considerable BTC holdings on the market. This push-down has driven the Bitcoin price down to a critical level, and its capacity for recovery now depends on whether it’s able to reclaim the $97,000 level.

The reason for this, as the crypto analyst explains, is that it would mean that the buyers are beginning to return to the market. Thus, if the Bitcoin price reclaims the $97,000 level with momentum, then it would see a short-term bounce to put it back above $100,000.

The Bears Still Have Their Positions

For the bearish scenario, the crypto analyst explains that the bitcoin price would need to fail to close above $95,000. As seen over the weekend, this support level has already been weakened after the Bitcoin price breakdown and could see more decline as a result.

If it fails to hold up, then the current downtrend should be expected to deepen. This is because the Bitcoin price would be falling to the next levels, where there is much deeper liquidity, and these levels happen to lie below $90,000. This support level would pull the price in until the buyers step in again.

“In that situation, the next major support zone below becomes the logical draw, and the path shown on the chart, a small bounce followed by another leg down, fits well with the current momentum,” the analyst explains. Given this, the buyers would have to step in this new week to ensure another push, or the Bitcoin price risks a further crash.

SEC Backs Nasdaq, CBOE, NYSE Push to Simplify Crypto ETF Rules

The US SEC on Wednesday approved new listing rules for major exchanges, paving the way for a surge of crypto spot exchange-traded funds. On Wednesday, the regulator voted to let Nasdaq, Cboe BZX and NYSE Arca adopt generic listing standards for commodity-based trust shares. The decision clears the final hurdle for asset managers seeking to launch spot ETFs tied to cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin and Ether. In July, the SEC outlined how exchanges could bring new products to market under the framework. Asset managers and exchanges must now meet specific criteria, but will no longer need to undergo drawn-out case-by-case reviews. Solana And XRP Funds Seen to Be First In Line Under the new system, the time from filing to launch can shrink to as little as 75 days, compared with up to 240 days or more under the old rules. “This is the crypto ETP framework we’ve been waiting for,” Bloomberg research analyst James Seyffart said on X, predicting a wave of new products in the coming months. The first filings likely to benefit are those tracking Solana and XRP, both of which have sat in limbo for more than a year. SEC Chair Paul Atkins said the approval reflects a commitment to reduce barriers and foster innovation while maintaining investor protections. The move comes under the administration of President Donald Trump, which has signaled strong support for digital assets after years of hesitation during the Biden era. New Standards Replace Lengthy Reviews And Repeated Denials Until now, the commission reviewed each application separately, requiring one filing from the exchange and another from the asset manager. This dual process often dragged on for months and led to repeated denials. Even Bitcoin spot ETFs, finally approved in Jan. 2024, arrived only after years of resistance and a legal battle with Grayscale. According to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, the streamlined rules could apply to any cryptocurrency with at least six months of futures trading on the Coinbase Derivatives Exchange. That means more than a dozen tokens may now qualify for listing, potentially unleashing a new wave of altcoin ETFs. SEC Clears Grayscale Large Cap Fund Tracking CoinDesk 5 Index The SEC also approved the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund, which tracks the CoinDesk 5 Index, including Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana and Cardano. Alongside this, it cleared the launch of options linked to the Cboe Bitcoin US ETF Index and its mini contract, broadening the set of crypto-linked derivatives on regulated US markets. Analysts say the shift shows how far US policy has moved. Where once regulators resisted digital assets, the latest changes show a growing willingness to bring them into the mainstream financial system under established safeguards
