In November 2018, SIX Swiss Exchange, Switzerland’s major stock exchange based in Zurich, approved the listing of the world’s first multi-crypto-based exchange-traded product (ETP) called the “Amun Crypto ETP”.

The Amun Crypto Basket Index ETP under the ticker symbol HODL was developed to track 5 major crypto assets, including Bitcoin (BTC), XRP, Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and Litecoin (LTC). It was the first time when SIX Group also announced its upcoming Ethereum ETP.

Single Coin ETPs

And now, on March 5, trading of an Ethereum-based exchange-traded product was launched. It happened just one week after launching a Bitcoin exchange-traded product issued by Amun AG, a Swiss fintech special purpose company. Amun Bitcoin ETP is traded under the ticker symbol ABTC.

As for an Ethereum-backed ETP that will be traded under the ticker symbols AETH, it will be sponsored by crypto startup Amun as well and they both will have a management fee of 2.5 percent.

Speaking about their products, Hany Rashwan, CEO and co-founder of Amun AG, said:

 “With both HODL for the index and ABTC/AETH for the single coin, we have given investors around the world access to this innovative and exciting asset class through a regulated exchange and the traditional financial market. We also plan to launch more products across multiple geographies.”

According to the information revealed by SIX Group, the Ethereum ETP is to take a 16.7% market share and the Bitcoin ETP is meant to acquire around 8%. When the XRP ETP will be launched, it is said that it will acquire a market cap of 24.4%, while Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin will take on 5.2% and 3% of the market share respectively.

In the context of ETPs launching, it’s necessary to avoid their confusion with exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that are still waiting for the approval of the US SEC as they are considered to be able to cause serious sentiment shifts in the Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency markets.

SDX Digital Trading Platform

Today SIX Swiss Exchange pays a lot of attention to blockchain technology and a possibility to apply it to its activities with a view to increase the level of its services and enhance its client experience.

Recently, Coinspeaker has also reported that SIX Swiss Exchange has announced its plans to launch its new blockchain-powered SDX Digital Trading Platform. The launch of this parallel platform is scheduled for the second half of the year.

Nevertheless, the exact date is still unknown as it greatly depends on some legal and regulatory issues and, consequently, on the approval of the Financial Market Supervisory Authority that is the Swiss market regulator.

The new project is intended for speeding up trading and it is believed that it will even manage to replace the currently existing SIX marketplace within a decade.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Double Bottom Reversal Chases Out the Bears

Bitcoin Price Analysis

In our previous BTC-USD analysis, there was a fear of a massive Head and Shoulders pattern that had very low price projections for the entire crypto market. In a turn of events, when BTC-USD made its test of the Head and Shoulders neckline, it actually responded in a market reversal.

Yesterday, the crypto market took a turn upward as the market leader made a Double Bottom Reversal pattern that sent a market-wide bear run into an immediate bull run. As the BTC-USD market made an attempt to test the boundaries of the lower prices of the bear run, volume began to pick up and sent us into a market reversal. How does one spot this pattern and where are we headed in the next few days?

Characteristics of a Double Bottom Reversal pattern include the following:

  1. A descending trendline within an established bear trend (shown in white)

  2. An initial bottom that temporarily reverses before retesting the established low (basically forming a “W” pattern)

  3. After a test of the previously established low, the test is rejected

    1. It is important to note that in order to confirm the reversal pattern, typically you want to see consistent increased volume at the lower values (shown in dark pink)

  4. After the low is rejected a second time, it continues upward and breaks the descending trendline established in step 1 (shown in yellow)

  5. After breaking the descending trendline, the price then forms a “neckline” with the rest of the pattern (shown in light pink)

  6. From there, to confirm the trend reversal, we would want to see a break of the neckline followed by a retest of the neckline (shown in light blue)

All the above characteristics are very strong indicators of a complete bear market reversal into a bull market. As mentioned in the previous BTC-USD analysis, the bear run would continue the trend downward until significant volume picked up. In our case, the volume picked up very strongly and made a complete market reversal. Much like BTC-USD, this pattern is seen throughout several major players in the crypto market: ETH-USD, LTC-USD, ETH-BTC, etc.

It is unclear where the top of the bull run will lead us, but what is clear is that volume has dramatically picked up, indicating market interest in the higher prices. Until the volume begins to die down, the price will continue to push higher.

Summary:
  1. Head and Shoulders pattern was strongly rejected in the form of a Double Bottom Reversal

  2. Bearish trend has ended in a strong bull trend
