A very quiet week. The big question is if the Bitcoin ETFs will get approval by Wednesday. If not, then the drama is on for the final window in March. I imagine that if there is upwards price action, some people behind the scenes will be balking because they are being left out of the party, which might put pressure on a decision.

Enjoy and be well, Everyone.
