After spending weeks moving sideways, BTC price seemed to be close to a new high. However, the cryptocurrency seems to be stuck just below the resistance level at $60,000.

Analyst Ben Lilly has published a report in which he determines what has caused the stalemate and how BTC has a “bullish combination” for the following weeks. The analyst has registered large sell walls near current levels. This, he claims, is part of a whale of a strategy to “attract” liquidity.

They do this by stalling prices near a breakout. Then after releasing the valve a bit, they can liquidate those built up as well as the newly added positions.

The key to an exit of the stock from the current price is the “unlocking” of a large amount of BTC from Grayscale’s fund could give bullish momentum. These unlockings will begin to occur in late April, the analyst says:

To me this continued sideways scenario makes the most sense given how quickly we have climbed since last week… But when it comes to bitcoin, if those walls get lifted and the fake out/liquidity grab maneuver does not take place… then we’re off to the races.

Grayscale Bitcoin Trust’ conversion to an ETF

Looking at the bigger picture, Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) has lost its monopoly as the only investment vehicle for institutions seeking exposure to Bitcoin. The emergence of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) in Canada has absorbed a lot of institutional interest. Investment firm Grayscale acknowledges as much.

In a recent publication, the firm has revealed that they are “committed” to converting GBTC into an ETF. Having tried unsuccessfully in 2016 through 2017, Grayscale believes the industry has matured. The investment firm stated:

Today, we remain committed to converting GBTC into an ETF although the timing will be driven by the regulatory environment. When GBTC converts to an ETF, shareholders of publicly-traded GBTC shares will not need to take action and the management fee will be reduced accordingly.

As such, they do not offer a specific date for the possible approval or conversion of its GBTC. The firm says it is “focused” on the long term. A few hours after this announcement, GBTC’s premium increased by 5% after trading negative for the entire month of March.

Reynaldo Marquez

A literature major, Reynaldo Márquez has been deeply immersed in the crypto industry since 2017. His journey began with translating articles for various crypto news outlets, a role he took on with zeal. In 2018, amidst a challenging market, he embraced his first writing assignment, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to the nascent industry and the promise of change it bears for many people worldwide.
In March 2021, he joined the prestigious crypto news outlet NewsBTC and Bitcoinist, where he not only reported on the latest crypto news but also had the privilege of interviewing some of the industry's most influential figures. A year later, his dedication and hard work were recognized, and he was promoted to Managing Editor, a position he currently holds with pride.
He believes in honesty, good communication, hard work, and the power of cryptocurrency and its potential to transform people's lives, especially those alienated by the legacy financial system. Born in 1992 in Venezuela, Reynaldo is familiar with how governments and central banks can negatively affect people, their everyday lives, and their futures by creating inflation and erasing their hopes for a better future. Thus, like many Venezuelans, he embraced this new technology to help him and his family navigate difficult times.
In another life, Reynaldo would have pursued a career as an investigator, most likely tracking down the origins of the Cyberpunk movement with the publication of William Gibson’s ‘Neuromancer.’ The intersection between fiction and reality, with the materialization of Bitcoin in 2009, would have allowed him to dive deep into the crypto sphere as something more than a financial phenomenon but also a cultural shift in society that was brewing since the XX century, and maybe even sooner, in the XIX century with the publication of Henry David Thoreau’s ‘Civil Disobedience.’
But that’s for another life. In this one, Reynaldo has been trading to improve his trading skills. Since 2023, he has been trying to learn Python to create successful strategies and find ways to execute them. It is a difficult task, which continues to keep him busy today and will most likely continue to keep him busy in the near and long term.
In his free time, he enjoys lifting heavy objects, reading, watching movies, and listening to his favorite music. Some of his favorite authors are Walt Whitman, William Faulkner, Allen Ginsberg, James Baldwin, Raymond Carver, Ray Bradbury, George Orwell, Mario Vargas Llosa, Reinaldo Arenas, Rafael Cadenas, and many others. Lately, he has been primarily interested in reading about dystopic societies, a topic that deeply resonates with the crypto industry.
Since 2023, he has lived in Spain with his wife. He loves the weather, the food, and the people and their culture. They both expect to travel much more within the country they now call home and beyond its border. He hopes to retire with his wife, maybe in a quiet place near a beach, but most likely in a city close to a library and a university with his kids and, hopefully, grandkids.
