Analyst Notes: “Bitcoin appears to be lifeless despite several market moving headlines.  Risk aversion from weakening global growth concerns is not dragging Bitcoin down,” said OANDA Senior Market Analyst Edward Moya.

He added, “Perhaps some traders remain upbeat, especially after PayPal launched a US dollar-backed stablecoin. Bitcoin seems content hanging around the $29,000 level until we get a meaningful regulatory update.”

Crypto analyst Michael Van De Poppe believes that ETF's are on the verge of being introduced.

“It's way bigger than you think it is, as it will move markets. Buy the dip, as much as you can for Bitcoin and Ethereum.”
