Bitcoin (BTC) remains on track to near $50,000 around next year’s block subsidy halving event, longtime analyst Filbfilb says.
In his latest interview with Cointelegraph, the co-founder of trading suite DecenTrader shares his thoughts on BTC price action.
Bitcoin has well and truly cemented its exit from a sub-$30,000 trading range, which characterized the market for much of 2023, Filbfilb believes.

The two combined would suggest that there will be buying interest below and together are a strong indicator of a breakout and trend change from the two-year bear market.
