As the highly anticipated approval of a Spot Bitcoin ETF draws near, economist and crypto trader Alex Kruger has warned investors and traders.

Here is what you should know according to his privileges.

The Sell the News Event

Kruger predicts that Bitcoin will initially surge following its expected approval date in January. Still, this rally will be followed by a drop below its pre-approval price within two weeks as profit-taking sets in.

Market Conditions

Kruger explains that the current market is very hot, with altcoins funding at rates between 20% to 60% and Bitcoin’s March futures annualized basis at around 17% to 20%.

If the ETF launches soon after approval and inflows are strong, it could help push Bitcoin prices higher. Similarly, if inflows are weak and ETF bids are rejected, Bitcoin could plummet.

Kruger also alerted traders and investors to set alerts for January in case the ETF gets disapproved, as this could cause a rapid collapse. He shared a chart that shows a timeline of the 2021 Bitcoin Futures ETF trade.
