The EMA50 has also produced a bullish cross above the week EMA100. In addition, the relative strength index (RSI) has entered overbought territory at 80. This strengthens the dominance of bulls in the market.
Furthermore, if the capitalization market value of crypto can build support above the US$1.75 trillion level with positive volume, then the bullish trend can continue in 2024.
Other Supporting Factors
On the other hand, there are two other factors that can support these three indicators. Among these are Bitcoin ETFs and historical Bitcoin halvings.
Chances of Spot Bitcoin ETF Approval
According to Bloomberg ETF analysis, James Seyffart, the chance of a spot Bitcoin ETF approval on January 10, 2023, which is the SEC's deadline for determining a decision, is 90%.
Okay, we're nearing in on deadline dates for 3 spot #Bitcoin ETF applications. I want to get ahead of it because there's a pretty good chance we'll see delay orders from the SEC. Delays WOULD NOT change anything about our views & 90% odds for 19b-4 approval by Jan 10, 2024 pic.twitter.com/LE7sOlHAHM

If approved, the ETF could attract more institutional investors into crypto and have a positive impact not only on BTC but also on the prices of other cryptos.
Spot Bitcoin ETF approval could be Wall Street's biggest development in three decades according to Bitcoin maxi, Michael Saylor.
Historis Halving Bitcoin
Bitcoin price trends often depict cyclical patterns. Analysts have drawn correlations between current prices and historical patterns, suggesting bullish cycles similar to those that occurred in 2013, 2017, and 2021.
Bullish movements historically tend to follow a four-year cycle triggered by the Bitcoin halving event, which reduces the rate of creation and acceptance of new Bitcoins by a>.miners
The next halving will occur around April 2024, and in general the bullrun can start several months before the halving and continue until the price of Bitcoin reaches a new record high .
