Bitcoin (BTC) took fresh aim at $38,000 into Nov. 23 as an “aggressive bid” dispelled cold feet over Binance’s $4.3 billion fine.
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC price strength making a striking comeback to top out at $37,870.
A subsequent cooling off kept the market near $37,500, with the mood markedly different to just 24 hours prior.
Then, concerns over United States legal action against largest exchange Binance had sparked a cascade of long liquidations, which only ended at one-week lows.

The bounce ended up equally impressive, however, and appeared to catch some market participants by surprise with its intensity.
“BTC — some thick buy walls over on the spot Binance market,” popular trader Ninja reacted on X (formerly Twitter).
A popular narrative once again involved a potential U.S. go-ahead for a Bitcoin spot price exchange-traded fund (ETF), something which could be just less than 50 days away.
Events at Binance, as Cointelegraph reported, may have provided a timely backdrop for the first U.S. approval of the long-awaited institutional investment product.

Analyzing the situation, fellow trader Pentoshi likewise suggested that the stars might be aligning for BTC price upside thanks to ETF-induced demand.
Regardless of price action, he added, the approval would mean “the beginning of substantial multi decades of tradfi allocation.”
