ETF approval rehearsal favors a sell-the-news reaction: K33 analyst

Earlier infinityhedge also predicted that Approval will mark the local top: here

QCP Capital: "The initial reaction to the 'approval' was muted with BTC being unable to trade out of the resistance area. We take this as a warning sign that an approval is mostly priced in and there may not be a huge rally post the approval"

Gary Gensler Statement on the Approval of Spot Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Products

Gensler: While we approved the listing and trading of certain spot bitcoin ETP shares today, we did not approve or endorse bitcoin.

"Importantly, today’s Commission action is cabined to ETPs holding one non-security commodity, bitcoin. It should in no way signal the Commission’s willingness to approve listing standards for crypto asset securities."
