$31,000 returns amid Fidelity Bitcoin ETF rumor

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC price action edging higher after holding $30,000 support.

The start of U.S. trading saw fresh positive news as asset manager Fidelity Investments reportedly prepared a filing to launch its Bitcoin spot-based exchange-traded fund (ETF).

"First it happens slowly, then all at once," financial commentator Tedtalksmacro wrote in part of a reaction, referring to existing ETF plans from largest global asset manager BlackRock and others.

Despite not yet repeating the rapid gains seen last week, BTC/USD preserved the majority of its progress, with commentators hopeful that bulls would come through.
