2 reasons why BTC could hit $69,000 soon
Bitcoin often goes up in value before a halving event.
The next halving is on April 19.
10x Research analyst Markus Thielen identifies 2 driving factors that could send BTC to $69,000:
🔥 Is This the Next #Bitcoin Killer Signal?
👇1-11) We remember the weekends when large liquidations occurred, mysteriously always around the low liquidity hours between 6 am to 7 am Sunday Asia time (Saturday 6 pm to 7 pm ET). Those days were when liquidity providers and crypto… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

the RSI, a fancy market mood ring, is glowing red-hot, hinting that Bitcoin's about to throw down some serious price moves:
⇾ measures the speed and change of price movements, has crossed above 80 for Bitcoin;
⇾ when the RSI crossed this threshold, it presaged significant upward price movements, with an average gain of 54% in the following 60 days. 😅
during pre-halving momentum, BTC acts like it's chugging an energy drink, getting all hyped up:
⇾ it has experienced significant rallies in the weeks leading up to a halving event;
⇾ previously led to price increases due to the reduced rate of supply expansion;
⇾ past cycles show that Bitcoin prices surged by over 30%. 🔥

💡 A bit of history:
⇾ Worldcoin $WLD is a project founded by the CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman launched last year in July;
⇾ they went all sci-fi on us with a gadget called the "Orb", that looks straight out of a space movie and scans individuals' irises 👀 ;
![](https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/a68ffe77-06cf-467c-869e-97cccb71a078/image.png?t=1708357608)
⇾ it aims to verify each person's uniqueness, aligning with their goal to distribute cryptocurrency fairly and potentially enable a new global digital identity;
But here's where it gets sticky.
The project faced controversy and criticism primarily due to concerns about privacy and the ethical implications of its unique method of user identification.
"let me take a quick peek at your eyes, and I'll give you some digital cash." Sounds a bit like a weird trade, right? People are worried about who's keeping an eye on their... well, eyes. 😁
with all these eyeball scans, folks are biting their nails thinking about some sneaky hacker getting a hold of their peepers' pics. Not exactly the kind of photo leak anyone's looking forward to.
