This is certainly been what I have been sensing as well ;

Retail traders are less optimistic after ETF hopium fades

"Moving on to retail interest, there is a growing sense of apathy due to the absence of a short-term positive trigger, such as the potential approval of a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). The SEC is not expected to make its final decision until January or February 2024".

"ETF Hopium" - LoL - Love that choice of "phrasing" !

Altho personally I've leaned more towards calling it something like "ETF Pumper-Up-ism" given that (I'm assuming) virtually EVERY You-Tube commentor (AND THIS IHUb Board as well), has been FOAMING at the mouth with hope-filled anticipation of (according to them) an inevitable (soon) SEC approval, although not many (if ANY) were considering the 38,000 Level as being capable of offering up ANY resistance !..... On the contrary, the "chatter" has been constantly promising....."she's headed up well over 40,000 !"

They never even SENSED the 38,000 resistance !

Bunch of frickin' crypto dummies........The SEC's got until FEBRUARY before it has to announce its' decision !
