Latest Bitcoin price data suggests double top above $200K in 2025

Bitcoin halving cycles still dictate potential BTC price highs and lows, Decentrader co-founder Filbfilb says, as he doubles down on $180,000 in 2025.

Latest Bitcoin price data suggests double top above $200K in 2025

Bitcoin (BTC) is still on track to hit $180,000 in its next halving cycle, a longtime market participant said.

In a new analysis published on March 3, Filbfilb, co-founder of trading suite DecenTrader, doubled down on his bullish BTC price outlook for the years ahead.

Filbfilb keeps faith in Bitcoin halving cycles

With BTC/USD approaching $30,000 but traders highly suspicious of the 2023 rally, sky-high BTC price predictions have been poorly received.

Two current $1-million forecasts, from ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood and former Coinbase executive Balaji Srinivasan, respectively, continue to divide opinion in the aftermath of the 2022 crypto winter.

Considering whether either has merit, Filbfilb turned to raw math to determine some likely macro tops and bottoms for Bitcoin after its next block subsidy halving.

The Sarah Show’s analog childhood meets dizzying digital future: NFT Creator, Sarah Zucker

Sarah Zucker remembers the analogue world of her youth, and creates NFT art that explores the insane tech revolution we’re all going through.

The Sarah Show’s analog childhood meets dizzying digital future: NFT Creator, Sarah Zucker

As a Millennial who remembers the world before digital devices and the internet were everywhere, Sarah Zucker — aka The Sarah Show — is fascinated by the accelerated transition society at large is going through.

“I feel as a Millennial that I’m part of this generational cohort that’s in this very unusual experience of having had an analog childhood and now living a digital future,” says Zucker. 

“I’m specifically using tools of the recent past like analog TVs to take people out of our present moment and create this different experience of time and sense. I would say my work really is about time more than anything.” 

The Los Angeles artist is considered an OG of the NFT art scene, having started way back in 2019 (her first mint was on April 4 that year) compared to most artists who arrived on the scene in the last 12–24 months.

Her art seems to resemble something you’ve seen before, all while feeling like something completely new, telling stories with a dose of humor while tapping into cutting-edge and obsolete technologies.

Will Bitcoin break above $30K? New JOLTS data, weaker dollar boost chances

Bitcoin price is poised to reach $31,000 in April amid a lower vacancy turnout in the U.S., which risks crashing the dollar strength index to a yearly low.

Will Bitcoin break above $30K? New JOLTS data, weaker dollar boost chances

On April 4, the U.S. dollar index (DXY), which measures the greenback's performance versus the basket of six leading foreign currencies, dropped by 0.5% after demand for workers in the world's largest economy declined.

BTC price eye breakout with dollar at 2-month lows

Bitcoin (BTC) has grown 3.5% since to around $28,800, continuing its extremely negative correlation with the dollar. The BTC/USD pair now eyes a breakout at $30,000, a psychological resistance level, due to hopes that the greenback will weaken further in 2023.

Meanwhile, the February Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) showed that the number of official job vacancies dropped below 10 million for the first time since May 2021.

In other words, while two jobs were available for each unemployed person at some point last year, there are now just 1.67.

Interestingly, the implicit federal funds rate for January 2024 declined after the latest JOLTS data, in similar fashion amid March's bank failures.
