Market Overview

The approval of the ETH ETF has already been factored into market prices. The major upcoming events that could impact the market are:

1. Donald Trump and Elon Musk's participation in the BTC conference on July 27, might bring significant BTC-related announcements.

2. The expected BTC price drop due to the ongoing Mt. Gox repayment.

BTC faces resistance in the $71,000-$72,000 range. Currently, BTC is more likely to undergo a correction to the $64,000-$65,000 range to consolidate gains from $61,000 to $68,474.

With the approval of ETH spot ETFs, ETH may have the potential to approach or exceed its historical high, potentially nearing a price of $5,000, with a future goal of $9,000.
