- Cryptocurrencies have consolidated their gains ahead of Thursday's ETF launch.
- The technical picture remains bullish for digital coins.
- Here are the next levels to watch according to the Confluence Detector.
On Thursday, September 5, VanEck and SolidX are set to offer a Bitcoin Exchange Traded Fund (ETF). The firms will begin selling shared in a limited version of an ETF, exploiting an exemption by the Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC). The companies plan to go ahead even if they lose the consequent broader decision related to retail investments.
Nevertheless, this is a crack in the door to make an investment in cryptocurrencies more accessible to the broader public. Digital coins have advanced on the news but have failed to go very far. Nevertheless, they are technically well-positioned to extend their gains.
This is what the Crypto Confluence Detector shows in its latest update:
