Bitcoin Price Surges to $90K: Decisive Recovery or Another Dead-Cat Bounce?

After a few consecutive days of little to no actual action, bitcoin’s price surged Monday morning to just over $90,000, where it faced some resistance.

This raises questions whether this latest rally is just another repeat of what has been transpiring for the past several weeks – breakout attempts to $90,000 followed by subsequent violent rejections and sideways action.

CW attributed today’s price revival to a favorable alignment of retail and whales who are simultaneously buying BTC. The analyst believes that retail returning is of particular interest as they have sat on the sidelines for a while, especially since the October crash.

In a separate post, CW explained that almost all exchanges are showing strong BTC buying signals, especially Binance. They added that “whales who had been resting are back.”

Ali Martinez, though, recently published a different view on the matter. He believes the cryptocurrency is forming another dead-cat bounce before it “potentially makes another leg lower.”

He justified his rather bearish prediction with the lack of actual positive capital flows. Just the opposite; the net capital flow has turned negative, dropping below $-4.5 billion.

The trend is similar to the spot BTC ETFs, which have been bleeding out for months. As reported recently, they went from almost $63 billion in net inflows in early October to well under $57 billion as of Friday’s close.

For now, though, BTC is 2.3% in the green daily, trading close to $90,000. Its Monday resurgence has awakened some altcoins, such as ETH, which jumped past $3,000. BNB is above $860, while XRP has touched the crucial $1.90 support.

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
