Bitcoin lovers in the United States are getting impatient as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is not making a clear take on Bitcoin ETF. Due to concerns about manipulation, liquidity, and transparency, SEC has delayed deciding on Grayscale’s pending application to convert its Bitcoin Trust into a spot ETF. The SEC’s notice published on Friday didn’t reveal anything new about Grayscale’s pending application, which comes as no surprise. SEC Wants Written Submissions From People According to the 10-page notice, the SEC expressly requests ‘written comments’ from ‘interested people’ in the general public to provide their ‘ideas, statistics, and arguments’ addressing the regulator’s previous concerns about market fraud, manipulation, and overall lack of transparency. According to the notice, the public has 21 days from today, as specified in the Federal Register, to submit written data, views, and arguments on whether Grayscale’s application should be granted or denied, with a 35-day window for rebuttal. According to the notification, individuals interested in submitting comments to the SEC can do so either electronically or on paper.  The SEC has a History of Rejecting Spot ETF Applications Grayscale, the world’s largest digital asset management firm, applied in October to convert shares of its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) into a spot Bitcoin ETF, attempting to reverse previous rejections of BTC spot ETF applications by the regulator. Unfortunately, the SEC announced two months later that it would be delaying its decision on Grayscale’s application, citing major issues such as market fraud, manipulation, and transparency. According to a tweet, Grayscale has $36.5 billion in assets under management as of February 4th, with its GBTC product accounting for nearly 71% of total assets. The SEC also rejected Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Trust at the end of January, just seven days after rejecting a spot bitcoin ETF proposal from First Trust and SkyBridge Capital. Surprisingly, in rejecting Fidelity, the SEC went into great detail on surveillance-sharing agreements and the SEC’s responsibility to ensure that exchanges follow the Exchange Act’s requirements. It’s worth noting that the SEC approved ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF in October of that year, making it the first Bitcoin futures fund to be allowed in the US, followed by a pair of Strategy ETFs from Valkyrie and VanEck.

Past Performance of GALA The GALA coin price action shows a growth of more than 30% in the past 48 hours, resulting in the consolidation range breakout. The rally breaks and reaches the crucial psychological mark of $0.25. Moreover, the recent jump creates a bullish engulfing candlestick in the price chart as it aims to surpass the 100-day EMA.  GALA/USD Daily Chart GALA Technical Analysis The GALA coin price action shows an incredible breakout of the accumulation range between the $0.18 and $0.22 marks. The price jump creates a phenomenal follow-through candle of the morning star pattern made at the bottom of the range.  The coin price breaks above the 20-day Exponential Moving Average and rises higher to breach the 100-day average. Moreover, the 50 and 100-day EMAs maintain a bullish alignment in the daily chart.  The RSI indicator shows the slope rising above the 14-day SMA and the central line in the daily chart. The jump comes after the bullish divergence seen within the range. Therefore, a bullish continuation is possible.  The DMI indicator shows the +DI crossing above the -DI in the daily chart proposing a bullish trend reversal. However, a falling slope in the ADX reflects a weakness in the trend momentum. In conclusion, as per the technical indicators, the bullish breakout of the range will show continuation on the upside. Upcoming Trend The GALA coin price broke the horizontal level of $0.22 with a significant price jump in the past 24 hours. Hence, the rising trend can shortly breach the $0.25 psychological mark and regain the bullish momentum.  Traders can expect the uptrend to reach the $0.30 to $0.35 mark if the trend momentum increases. However, a retest of the range breakout to $0.22 is also possible.
