The enthusiasm around Bitcoin is understandable, particularly with all the chatter about possible ETF approvals pushing prices up.  It's tempting to get caught up in the excitement and speculate about potential outcomes like the ETF getting rejected.  But you're right that sticking to your plans and holding steady during the market's ups and downs takes discipline.  Easier said than done for sure! Keeping emotions in check is tough when theres so much anticipation and  let's hope things turn out favorably in the end.  For now, staying focused on the long game rather than getting distracted by short-term swings is probably wise.

But the thrill of the ride sure makes that hard sometimes! 

At least someone looking at the possibility of the SEC rejecting ETF although with the ever growing news of it getting approve soon and even a fake report that it was approved I think it will be a huge surprise that it doesn’t get approved. But regardless of what happens I have not place any of my predictions on ETF saga, yes it’s approval will certainly causes a pump in price of bitcoin but it will only be on yeh basis of FOMO and as such I don’t see it lasting that long. But a disapproval will also causes a retract of the price, in face of this just hodl and if possible accumulate more then.

The real bull run will be caused by the bitcoin halving and as with ETF approval or not we will be in bull run come 2025 or late 2024 that’s where my predictions lies

Bitcoin was always going to go up - approved ETFs or not. Even if ETF was the subject matter of today's bitcoin community and market discussions, Bitcoin's price was primed for a good upward swing and the Cointelegraph fake news was only evident of what could be and we're seeing a of it happening as expected. Imo, Bitcoin's price imo will get better and better from here until and after the halving event next year. Evenif ETF is not approved, I wouldn't say it would have a really huge impact on Bitcoin.

Never had any thoughts about giving up on Bitcoin. If bad things happen I'll be glad to buy more. Because the future is bright and I know it.

When the Bitcoin ETF is ultimately approved, we expect the price of bitcoin to skyrocket, but if it does not, there is a potential and a significant likelihood that the price will fall. But, regardless of what occurs, your title tells it all. When the price begins to fall, there are bound to be panic and anxiety of losing all of the money invested. The market is expected to see a bull run after the halving occurs by next year; if this time comes, those who hung on to their coins would profit handsomely. Those that sold out of fear of the bitcoin price falling likely miss out if the bitcoin ETF is not approved.

Those people telling that this pump happen due to the hype brought up by ETF situation but they didn't even realize that bitcoin is naturally growing its because people are looking forward for great thing that halving effect can possibly bring to them that's why its so irrelevant for people to hold just because they are speculating about the possible result since they might get dismayed if this one get disapprove and might result to capital lost to them. If they are just aiming for halving then maybe they can get much better result from it since for sure that this is more realistic to happen rather speculating about those ETF acceptance which is hard to happen for now since there are some regulators still not open for bitcoin adoption that's why we always see it get disapprove by those officials.

Sounds like the real deal to me if anyone wants to take advantage of the price drop it's going to be the powerful people unless they already bought all the Bitcoin they want, if not, all they need to do is reject all the ETF applications and watch how the price of Bitcoin will get heavily dump, it's something they can actually pull off and that's why I don't trust anything in this space.

I like your advice and it's best for others to take it very serious, too many people are now calling for the bull market, like isn't that too early? But it's expected that Bitcoin will pump at the end of 2023 anyway so the correction that I am expecting should be in the first quarter of next year.

There is nothing to be scared of, just get ready to take advantage of another, maybe last buying opportunity, there is no way a correction won't happen, so be ready with your USD or stable coin to buy more Bitcoin when any form of correction takes place.

I agree with you that bitcoin could go up even without an ETF, but it should not be denied that what is happening is not related to the ETFs. The market is very bullish on ETFs and what is happening is the impact of news related to ETFs. Certainly, bitcoin will still recover and increase in price without ETFs, but if the SEC rejects ETFs again, you will see the bitcoin plummet immediately. We should continue to hold bitcoin no matter what happens but don't think that bitcoin will be unaffected by this news.

It would not surprise me if the spot ETF approval does not materialize. It probably won't be a surprise for the markets either. Because the markets have bought the news and this has a big impact on the increases we have experienced. If the ETF approval is approved, contrary to your view, I think the crypto market will start a bull run and rockets may emerge at the halving. The bull market is looking for a spark and ETF approval could be it. With the news of ETF approval, I think that the bulls will continue to break the resistance in the market where the bears have difficulty in resistance.

There is no reason to panic for me personally, especially regarding bitcoin ETFs. Because as OP said, there is still a bullish market that we are ready to welcome together. Even if, for example, the bitcoin ETF is rejected, there will definitely be a decline in the price of bitcoin. However, don't panic and remain firm in holding onto the bitcoins we have, until our sales target is achieved.

So basically we as bitcoin investors have to remain calm and not be influenced by anything. Because after all, Bitcoin will always provide price surprises for investors, once every four years (Halving & Bullish market). Therefore, even if a bitcoin ETF is not approved, I believe bitcoin will reach its maximum price when the bull market arrives. Therefore, I agree with the OP's opinion, that at this time we must be strong in holding the bitcoin assets we own and must remember the initial intention of investing in bitcoin and must remember the desired price target. So that our mentality becomes stronger.

Because if fail halfway (selling bitcoin assets), I'm sure will most likely regret it later. Because if look at the positive side that usually occurs in the price of bitcoin, every time the price drops, there is a big possibility that the price will also rise again. Therefore, don't worry too much about the bitcoin ETF, though the bitcoin ETF will have an influence on the price of bitcoin. But we all have to be sure that bitcoin will remain strong in terms of price value, even if the bitcoin ETF is rejected.
