@Lucius. It appears that you might be proven correct. Cathie Wood might only be larping about this before end of the year ETF approval. Her investment firm Ark Invest has dumped Coinbase stocks and GBTC shares on the traditional market. I am quite certain she will also dump bitcoin on November 21 or before this date if she gets confirmation of a disapproval on the ETF from uncle Gary.
It seems that things are going quite badly for her company, because how else to explain that she is selling at the moment when something positive started to happen, and it seems that from a few days ago we can expect a few more pumps in the near future. But when you need money, it's obvious that you have no choice but to sell, regardless of the circumstances.

If this information is real, it appears that Blackrock is buying bitcoin already. It also appears that the pump on bitcoin might not be a pump and dump. This pump might be caused by Blackrock! I speculate that on October 30-31, we might witness a halloween pump. Blackrock likes to work on Monday and Tuesday, I have heard hehehehe.
I previously read info on the forum that such a possibility exists, although I thought that any company that applied for spot BTC ETF would buy BTC only after receiving approval. In any case, it is very likely that all this news about BR stimulated the market, and if it is not about some kind of manipulation, it is possible that we will not have to wait until next year for the SEC to announce
"good news".
