Bitcoin Price Prediction as Biden’s Decision on SEC Crypto Rules Looms – Will BTC Rally? 

May 28, 2024

As the deadline for President Biden’s decision on the SEC’s cryptocurrency regulations approaches, Bitcoin’s market response remains coiled. Currently trading at AU$104,617 (US$69,627), the cryptocurrency has experienced a slight increase of 1.50%. This movement could indicate a bullish trend in Bitcoin price predictions, suggesting that investors are positively weighing the potential impacts of regulatory changes on the digital asset’s value.

Biden’s Decision on SEC’s Crypto Rules Nears as Veto Deadline Approaches

President Joe Biden is approaching a crucial deadline to decide on a resolution that could overturn the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin 121 (SAB 121). The resolution, which has already been approved by both the House of Representatives and the Senate, is threatened with a veto by the White House. President Biden has until June 3 to act on the Congressional decision, which challenges the SEC’s controversial crypto regulations intended to govern the handling of digital assets by brokers.

Potential Outcomes of Presidential Action

The Chamber of Digital Commerce outlines three potential actions President Biden could take: veto the resolution, sign it into law, or do nothing and let the resolution become law by default if Congress is in session. A presidential veto would likely be the final step in the effort to overturn SAB 121, as Congress probably lacks the two-thirds majority required to override a veto. If signed or left unsigned with Congress in session, the resolution would nullify SAB 121, preventing the SEC from implementing a similar rule in the future.

Implications for Bitcoin and Crypto Regulation

This decision is pivotal for the cryptocurrency market, including Bitcoin, as it will influence how digital assets are regulated in the United States. The outcome could impact investor confidence and market stability, as clear regulatory frameworks are often seen as essential for the mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies. Additionally, the House has moved forward with the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century (FIT21) Act, which aims to establish a more comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets. The Biden administration has shown a willingness to collaborate with Congress on this issue, suggesting a possible softening of its stance towards crypto regulation.

Bitcoin Price Prediction

The digital currency sits just above its pivotal point at AU$103,138 (US$68,500), which is critical in determining its short-term movement. Bitcoin’s immediate resistance levels are AU$106,157 (US$69,600), followed by AU$107,974 (US$70,650) and AU$109,504 (US$71,950). These markers represent key hurdles that Bitcoin needs to overcome to sustain an upward trajectory. On the downside, immediate support lies at AU$101,968 (US$67,265), with further cushions at AU$100,123 (US$66,380) and AU$98,303 (US$65,144). These levels are vital for holding Bitcoin’s price in case of a downturn.

Technical Indicators

Technical indicators suggest a nuanced picture. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 47, indicating a neutral market sentiment that leans neither towards overbought nor oversold conditions. Meanwhile, the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) stands at AU$103,952 (US$68,737), slightly above the current price, hinting at potential resistance.50-day Exponential Moving Average (bitcoin)

Conclusion

Bitcoin’s current stance is delicately balanced, with pivotal support and resistance levels nearby. If Bitcoin can stay above AU$103,138 (US$68,500), there is potential for a bullish trend aiming for higher resistance levels. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains neutral, and the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) indicates a possible breakout.

As Bitcoin hovers at this critical juncture, it’s an intriguing time for those watching the crypto market, particularly for Bitcoin and Ethereum. The potential for upward movement suggests that the current market dynamics could lead to interesting developments. Keep an eye on these pivotal levels, as the crypto landscape continues to evolve.
