BitMEX CEO, Arthur Hayes, meanwhile, noted that such a quick recovery back to $8,000 from last week’s drop is a sign that the market is now in an uptrend.
“The bull market is real,” he wrote. “A momentary dip below 7k, and a few days later we are back above 8k and the Sep and Dec contracts are in contango. Booyah!

This means that the decision is imminent and will be no later than May 21, which is tomorrow. He ;
This is no time for hopium. If the doesn’t delay the VanEck proposal, the most likely result is rejection, not approval. The delayed Bitwise last week, but still hasn’t made a decision on VanEck. Here’s why that’s a bad sign for bulls.
A rejection is likely to cause a plunge in crypto prices but as trader Josh Rager points out a wave of FOMO could sweep crypto markets to new yearly highs;
The upcoming VanEck decision could certainly have a serious impact on $ price
Denial = Pull back the current price regardless of how good it looked this weekend
Approval = Push the price to new yearly high & create mass FOMO buying
Delay = Expected & likely little change
