 The Bitcoin price dropped by a fraction of a percentage in the last 24 hours to trade at $51,953 as of 04:51 a.m. EST on trading volume that plunged 29% to $35 billion.
 This comes as major U.S. banks and financial institutions are urging the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to revise its crypto asset regulations.
 In a letter to SEC Chair Gary Gensler, the institutions asked for a review so that they will have a larger role in the crypto field, including serving as custodians for spot Bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds).

 US banks, left off key bitcoin ETF roles, are pushing SEC to tweak guidance around holding digital assets. A bank trade gp coalition sent SEC letter asking them exclude ETFs from broad crypto umbrella. They want a piece of the action. I don't blame them, it isn't fair.… pic.twitter.com/advPa94nK2

 The banks feel that the current regulatory guidance issued in March 2022 poses challenges for offering crypto custody services at scale. They propose narrowing the definition of crypto assets to exclude traditional assets recorded on the blockchain.&nbsp;
 While the SEC has not yet responded to the request, it is clear that there is growing interest among major financial institutions in the crypto market, and that they are eager to play a more significant role.

 The Bitcoin price sustained bullish momentum this week, which saw it break above the $50,000 level. The BTC price is still bullish but seems to have hit some resistance around $53,000, with the rejection at this level allowing for a slight retrace to the current price of $51,953.
 However, the price is trading within the upper boundary of the bullish pennant, which indicates that the price may continue its bullish trend.
 The BTC price is trading above both the 50-day and 200-day Simple Moving Averages, which is an indication that there is an impending bull run. With the golden cross forming at $42,870, this may present an encouragement for the bulls to rally the price even higher.
 The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is on a downtrend from the 70-overbought region at 63, which indicates that the current trend is poised for a rebound.

 Moreover, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line (blue) is trading below the signal line (orange), which shows that investors are currently selling but with signs of a rebound. The movement of the red bars on the histogram, which appear to be moving to the downside, supports this sentiment.
 <h2 id="span-style-font-weight-400-bitcoin-price-prediction-span">Bitcoin Price Prediction</h2>
 The current Bitcoin price short-term <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Category Analysis" href="https://thebittimes.com/analysis.html">Analysis</a> indicates high chances of a BTC correction, supported by the MACD line, which would see the Bitcoin price correct back to $50,000.
 This level could help the bulls push the price higher, supported by a bullish pennant formation. BTC bulls are aiming for new highs, with $57,000 being the next target as they aim for $60,000.
 While Bitcoin bulls await more definitive entry positions, investors are also turning their attention to Bitcoin Minetrix (BTCMTX ) as it moves to within a whisker of securing $11 million in its presale.
