I really doubt it.

In fact it's probably the exact opposite, with or without ETF being approved, bitcoin is more likely to see some more corrections, consolidation and sideways movement before finally starting its true recovery.

There is still a lot of bearish sentiment within the market, with not a whole lot of bullish momentum. Besides, bear markets previously (after the 2013 crash, that is) have usually been around a year or longer. We're not close to that timeframe, yet. Resistance at $8-10k is still high, and this has been tested in previous attempts to break out.

So yeah, there could be small rallies here and there within the next few months but I expect prices to not move much. Great accumulation opportunity, though.

That's what I see too. It'll take quite a monstrous piece of news to bring it through that 10k level. There will be a lot of large moves in the next few months but I don't know if it'll be something that will take it up to previous highs until some kind of major change happens, like Lightening.

I'm not so sure that bitcoin really needs an ETF anymore. This is just a lot of noise about bringing in "safe" investment opportunities, but if retail investors want in, they can just buy or sell futures. ETF's are expensive and clumsy anyway.
