BlackRock iShare’s Bitcoin Trust was a trending topic in the cryptocurrency community after its disappearance from the listing on DTCC. The incident caught the market by surprise as the DTCC website went down simultaneous to the delisting of IBTC, in what many attribute to traffic as investors sped off to confirm the developments.
In an interesting twist, however, the product is back online, relisted as the DTCC website is now accessible.

It comes after reports that financial regulator SEC levied charges against BlackRock, citing failure to disclose investments. Based on the announcement, the firm will have to part with up to $2.5 million in penalty fees.
Bitcoin price tries to reclaim $34,000
Riding on the news, the bulls have pumped Bitcoin price to reclaim above the $34,000 level, but downside risks remain as investors contemplate the price action. Even so, technical indicators remain in favor of the bulls, at least for now, suggesting the bulls could still lead the market.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is in the overbought zone but without sell signals, retaining its northbound orientation that reflects rising momentum. In this respect, Bitcoin price could still reclaim its October 24 high of $35,280, or in a highly bullish case, extrapolate to tag the $36,000 psychological level.

On the other hand, increased selling pressure could see Bitcoin price lose the $31,777 critical support, potentially going as low as the big psychological support of $30,000 before an attempt to cross below the $28,000 psychological level. In the dire case, the slump could see the people’s currency break below the $25,000 psychological level. Such a move would constitute a 25% drop below current levels.
