Spot Bitcoin ETF has been gaining popularity among investors since the day it got approved by the SEC and due to this market has witnessed high volatility and fluctuations in Bitcoin’s price. Despite this, the spot Bitcoin ETF approval is proving beneficial for traditional market players in short trading.
What is Reshaping Trading Dynamics?
Bitcoin is struggling to rebound after approval as we have witnessed it is trading below expectations, but the analysts are being vocal about it and sharing their insights as to the recent approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs. Analysts believe that ETS has significantly supported the capacity of traditional market players who are engaged in short-focused Bitcoin trading.
This outcome can reshape trading dynamics and will offer new options for investors and traders who are looking for the benefit from anticipated price declines. After spot bitcoin ETF approval investors are engaged in short-focused trading strategies. Short selling a spot Bitcoin ETF involves taking shares from a broker, selling them at the current market price, and then repurchasing them at a lower price to return to the lender.
Dipping Pressure on Bitcoin
The increased activity to short-sell Bitcoin through spot ETFs will boost the potential for a gain in short positions. This will lead to an increased supply demand for BTC in the spot market. This inflow of supply has the potential to create low pressure on Bitcoin prices.
