Bitcoin nears pre-halving 'target zone' toward $50K BTC price

Bitcoin is nearing a key Fibonacci retracement level which could mark the top of its “pre-halving rally.”

That is according to popular social media trader Titan of Crypto, who on Nov. 19 reiterated a pre-halving BTC price target of up to $50,000.

Trader: $39,000 is pre-halving BTC price target range floor

Bitcoin faces stiff resistance sliding back to the $40,000 mark; several attempts to crack it have failed in the past week.

As Cointelegraph reported, the area immediately below also holds significance for aggregate market profitability, with $39,000 likely a breakeven point for those who bought in during the 2021 bull market.

Titan of Crypto has also flagged $39,000 as an important boundary — this time, however, as the bottom of where BTC/USD should end up prior to the April 2024 block subsidy halving event.

“The pre halving rally I told you about one year ago is about to reach its target zone between $39k-$50k,” he told X subscribers, adding that “patience is key.”

The update referenced an original post from December 2022, when Bitcoin was still preparing to recover from a trip to two-year lows of $15,600.

Then, Titan of Crypto used Fibonacci retracement levels to predict a pre-halving peak of up to $50,000 — at the time a 220% increase.

“Each cycle BTC had a rally before its halving occurs. Those rallies topped within the 61.8%-78.6% fibonacci retracement area,” part of commentary noted at the time.

Consensus grows on Bitcoin heading higher

Other BTC price predictions give similar targets before the halving.

Filbfilb, co-founder of trading suite DecenTrader, continues to give an area around $46,000 as “likely,” despite not discounting the probability of a BTC price dip between now and then.

What might happen after the halving, however, is a more bullish question for many, with forecasts including $130,000 or more by the end of 2025.

To the immediate downside, meanwhile, $30,900 has entered as a floor for Bitcoin’s next potential correction. A move lower to test liquidity, some argue, would be healthy, as well as a classic part of Bitcoin market uptrends.

BTC/USD currently trades at $36,500, per data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView, having tracked sideways throughout the weekend.

  • Australia’s financial regulator proposes new crypto rules, emphasizing risks and mitigation measures

The revisions to Information Sheet 225 (INFO 225) include 13 worked examples aimed at clarifying when digital assets qualify as financial products, such as stablecoins, packaged tokens, and staking services. In these examples, ASIC outlines scenarios involving exchange tokens, interest-bearing stablecoins, and tokenized assets such as concert tickets. The draft guidance proposes that classification depends on "inherent rights, interests, expectations, and product features that are offered together with the token." ASIC encourages cryptocurrency companies to apply for an Australian Financial Services License, providing them with a safe harbor from legal action.

  • BlackRock executive: More and more investors from different wealth classes are looking at Bitcoin as a hedging tool

    Bitcoin has been rising all the way, breaking through the $100,000 mark. A large part of the demand driving the rise in Bitcoin prices has recently flowed into Bitcoin ETFs. Jay Jacobs, head of thematic and active ETFs in the United States at BlackRock, said that since its launch in January of this year, the value of the IBIT ETF has grown to over $45 billion, and its value has increased by $4.1 billion in just the past month. Jacobs said that in addition to candidates who are more friendly to cryptocurrencies winning in elections, an increasing number of investors from different wealth levels are beginning to see Bitcoin as a tool to hedge against geopolitical risks and currency depreciation caused by inflation. As ETFs become an easy way for investors to understand Bitcoin price trends, mainstream interest in cryptocurrencies reaching a critical point is only a matter of time. (Jinse)

  • Matrixport: Solana’s funding rate is currently as high as 70% annualized, and a price correction may occur

    According to a report, Matrixport has released a chart today stating that Grayscale has submitted an application to convert Solana Trust into a spot ETF. Although the current asset management scale of the product is relatively small at $134 million, if approved, it will set an important market precedent for other ETF issuers. It is important to note that Solana's financing rate is currently as high as 70% annualized, which creates significant pressure on leveraged long positions. Historical experience shows that similar high financing rates are often related to price corrections, as was the case in March of this year when the SOL-USDT price fell under similar financing rate backgrounds.

Will the public understand the idea of applying separate self-assessment taxation? There are several issues that need to be resolved. We need to consider it carefully." At the same time, "whether cryptocurrency should be included in ETFs depends on whether cryptocurrency is an asset that needs to be made more easily accessible to the public."
