We never know the exact prediction for the ATH that can be reached before or after the halving, the current market scenario has the potential to see a rise higher to reach the actual ATH and we will not know when it will be realized, but I am sure we will soon see a price of $100k for ATH next. However, the current market scenario is not very suitable for short-term trading strategies because the movement patterns in 2021 can occur at any time, so consider all aspects of market movements before investing at prices above 60k unless you decide for long-term investments, if the next correction occurs it will last 50k before the bull market is ready to set its next record ATH.
While some traders take advantage of short-term volatility to take profits, you say this is not the right time for short-term trading. Market patterns are difficult to predict, but some people who are truly capable of analyzing them manage to profit from price volatility. I agree that long term investment is better than trading, but not everyone agrees on this especially if they are a trader.

So far I don't think $100k can be reached before the halving, unless there is a huge influx of funds flooding the market ahead of the halving. Such a scenario is starting to become hard to hope for, so now it may be time to focus on the long term in the hope that $100k can be touched a few months after the halving.

I completely agree with you, insurance is necessary and I even think that the fact that insurance is mandatory in Europe, is a very good step. For example, we all have car insurance and when there is a car accident, there is no fight between drivers, people shake hands and go on their way.
Every business needs insurance, especially farmers and it doesn't matter if there was a flood in the recent 15 years or not. The fact is, things happen and no one can predict the future. Many farmers, especially in poor countries hesitate to insure their business because insurance requires also lots of money and when years pass and nothing happen, then business owners think that they wasted years of insurance money and it was a bad decision. Insurance has pros and cons, everyone wants insurance when something bad happens but when things go well and there was no need of insurance usage, they hesitate to pay and even regret that decision.
I agree, insurance should be considered important but it depends on the interests of each individual. People need insurance for a reason, but not everything needs to be insured. I have health insurance, as well as vehicle insurance, but I don't have wealth insurance. Some people may consider wealth insurance where they intend to get protection against damage or loss of their property due to various reasons, but this is not necessary for everyone.

There are many insurance products on offer and each of us has the right to choose according to our interests. Some of this has already been said, but again not all insurance products are suitable for everyone for financial and other reasons.

Las Palmas and Cadiz are not tough opponents for Barcelona so I think that Xavi not being able to accompany the team during these two matches will not have a big impact, now Brcelona is in top form with high self-confidence and this will make it easier for them when they meet tough opponents. the quality is still below them.
Xavi will only be able to accompany the team during the E Clasicco, this will be very interesting.
You may be right, or you may be wrong about Las Palmas and Cadiz. Both teams are often underrated, but they could be the team to stop Barcelona's good run towards the end of the season. Cadiz will be fighting to get out of the relegation zone and they don't care who the opponent is, meaning Barcelona could be stopped if Cadiz really plays without pressure.

In April, Barcelona have a busy schedule and they need to approach it carefully. There is a match against PSG between the two La Liga matches, so they cannot relax in the hope of winning against the two middle and bottom teams in the end. De Jong and Pedri are still injured, as is Gavi, so they don't have many options if some of their main players enter the treatment room.

The mentality of holding bitcoin was really tested when the price fell, they immediately panicked and sold it. This often happens to those who don't understand the history of Bitcoin, so before investing in Bitcoin we need something called personal research, don't follow other people's orders so that whatever happens in the market, we will still hold Bitcoin.

For investors who have been familiar with bitcoin for a long time, of course correcting bitcoin before the halving occurs is a natural thing. Of course, when the halving occurs, bitcoin will increase, and many even predict that bitcoin will reach a price above $100k after the halving. And what is certain is that those who already know about bitcoin will not panic when holding bitcoin because they believe bitcoin is an asset of the future, investing in bitcoin in the long term is the best choice.
New investors who lack experience and knowledge may sell, but not those who are experienced. Most experienced investors will accumulate instead of panicking and selling when the price drops, which gives them the opportunity to earn more bitcoin for long-term profit targets. Halving is an opportunity for everyone to build their wealth, especially if they have bitcoin and some other assets in their wallets.

I know that $100k is the expected target as the new ATH for bitcoin in this bull run, but prices are unpredictable. The price of bitcoin could be higher than $100k, that is expected but there is no certainty whether it can be achieved or not. As long as there is an opportunity to buy, try to buy it and hold it for a while while waiting for the return.

It seems you should also know that in the last twoseasons, Manchester City and Real Madrid have always met in the semifinals. Their first meeting happen in the semifinals of the Champions League for the 2021/2022 season and Real Madrid managed to beat and eliminate Manchester City in the semifinals and then Real Madrid won the trophy. After that, in the 2022/2023 season Real Madrid and Manchester City met gain in the semifinals and Manchester City managedto beat and eliminate Real Madrid in the semifinals, andthen Manchester City won the trophy. So ya, it could be said that thisseason will be the third meeting between Real Madrid and Manchester City, but the only difference is that thistime or thisseason the meeting took place in the quarter-finals. With a record likethat, it is clear that we cannotsay Manchester City is better than Real Madrid, because infact, theystill have the same goodrecord and results at least in the last two seasons.
I won't say Manchester City is better than Real Madrid because I know Real Madrid's strength. If the two teams are compared in terms of squad depth, then I think they are equal in many ways. The team's performance in the domestic league is also good and both are in the top flight even though Manchester City is 1 point adrift of the top of the standings. It's hard to say who the favorite is, but I hope Real Madrid can really dominate in their home match in the first leg.

There is no excuse for accepting two failures from the same team in two different seasons, so Ancelotti will have to think hard about how to smooth out his plans to qualify for the semi-finals. Manchester City have a good squad, they are dangerous and they also have a great coach who can change the course of a match. Of course you need to be careful, but the first leg is the best opportunity for Real Madrid to prove who is the king.

The reason why in the first meeting Arsenal managed to beat Man City was because they were without De Bruyne who was injured and the match also took place at Arsenal's home ground. Now Man City's strength is so complete and they have the advantage of playing at home so I think it will be much more difficult for Arsenal to beat Man City. The tension of the match is also different because it is a fairly important match for the start of the title this season so both of them will play quite carefully.

If Arsenal loses then their chances of winning the English league will be smaller, unless they can hold a draw or win the match. This will be a big match in the English league because there are bets on who will lose or who will win. But even so, I am more confident that Man City will win the match because they are playing in front of their own crowd.
I agree with your reasoning there, it was a home game for Arsenal but in fact it wasn't just about De Bruyne. Pep Guardiola has difficulty making his squad appear impressive because Arsenal really has an effective strategy. Arsenal built a lot of attacks, they appeared to press and created more goal chances than Manchester City and in the end Gabriel Martinelli's 1 goal was enough to secure 3 points for Arsenal even though it came a few minutes before the end of the match.

But this time Manchester City is different. They will play at home and the squad is also complete compared to the first match at the Emirates, but it is still difficult for us all to predict the result. Manchester City is the favorite of many people, even the bookies also favor them because of their performance, but once again that is not any guarantee of getting Manchester City to win over Arsenal. There is only one team that will win if the two do not draw, but Arsenal's chances of winning are very low.

Well, I don't think that matters much. Whether they are playing at the Etihad Stadium doesn't really matter, especially considering the last match Arsenal had with Manchester City at City's home, which resulted in a two against five defeat that Arsenal inflicted upon Manchester City. So even though they were playing at City's home, Arsenal was able to beat them in their last fixture togetherr, as a competition.
Arsenal managed to win their last two matches against Manchester City, including their penalty shootout win in the Association Community Shield match with a penalty score of 1-4. But during regular time, Manchester City and Arsenal only drew 1-1 and what you say about the big score is basically not true.

Home matches are very influential for Manchester City and you should take that as an important thing that you should not miss when making analysis. Manchester City have won 4 of their 5 home games against Arsenal, so the home game should be the benchmark for who has the greatest potential to win it. Here Manchester City is the favorite, so I don't think it will be easy for Arsenal to win this match.

If you want to get more data about H2H between the two teams, then take a look here, especially to determine who actually deserves to be the favorite at home and how much influence the home game has on Manchester City.

Have anyone ever had confidence in any match that he was willing to be huge amounts to back up the confidence in a match that features his club. A friend of mine recently shocked me with how much passion and confidence he had in his club, man u vs liverpool  that happened on Sunday I guess was a very hard match cause Liverpool was already stomping 0:2 to man United but my friend was telling that man United won't lose the match, so I told him that if he has much confidence that he should stake life, shocking to me he went on and staked 5k on man United win to qualify which was about 7 odds at that time, and yeah it turned out right for him. Can any one do this or was it a foolish move?
Wait, are you going to say betting as much $3.65 (5k Naira) was the craziest thing your friend did on the Manchester United vs Liverpool match? This may be a large amount for your country's currency, but if you discuss this globally where the USD is the dominant currency, it is not worth it.

Some gamblers bet tens of thousands of dollars on the game, some even hundreds of thousands. I can't imagine it's a big danger to your friend especially since it's only 5K Naira, let alone the conversion value to USD is very small. It wasn't anything crazy or stupid, unless it was something that kept him from eating for a week.

How you can be so sure? if Liverpool can lose against Manchester United, there's a chance Atalanta can beat Liverpool. If Leverkusen almost lose against Qarabag FK, West Ham might able pull an upset. Tongue

Most of the times Europa league is full of surprise, so predicting the final match or the champion is kinda hard. Probably Roma will become the champion in this season. Cheesy
You are of course right, Liverpool could lose against Atalanta but I think Liverpool are the favourites. Atalanta has a fairly productive attack line and so far they have proven their abilities by scoring 12 goals in the group stage and 3 goals in the round of 16. Liverpool  have to be aware of the possibility of defeat, that's can make them fail to win a semifinal ticket. So it is not certain which of the two they will qualify for the semifinals.

Liverpool have 3 matches in the Premier League before the Europa League quarter-final match against Atalanta, so maybe this could also affect the team in the Europa League, especially if several players get injured before the match. I'm support Liverpool to win that ticket, but not underestimating Atalanta.

precisely, Real Madrid has a big big experience of the Champions League and also its coach, Carlo Ancellotti has gained a lot of experience in this competition with Milan AC, by combining these two entities a crazy mix comes out, they are very strong, nothing to say about it
I know that's true, but Ancelotti was helpless last season against Pep Guardiola both home and away. In the Champions League, Ancelotti has won 4 titles, 2 of which were won with Real Madrid and the other 2 with Milan. Pep Guardiola has won 3 titles, 2 of which he won with Barcelona and 1 with Manchester City. The man has ambitions to win the title this season to double his title with Manchester City in two consecutive seasons, but I hope he fails in the quarter-finals this season.

Ancelotti certainly has a way to thwart Pep Guardiola this season in the Champions League, but he can still fail. Jude Bellingham must be the difference in the meeting between these two teams this season and I hope he can have a good impact on REal Madrid's efforts to qualify for the semi-finals. Pep and Ancelotti are two great coaches in the Champions League, as is the team they are currently coaching. So this quarter-final would have been great, it was a final that came too soon for both of them.

I think in 2025 we will have entered a bearish phase because the halving will occur in 2024. However, we don't know when the halving will occur, because from several sources I read that the halving will occur in the 4th month and other sources saying that $73k is ATH in 2024. but I'm not sure $73k is the ATH in 2024 because that means it's only slightly above the 2021 ATH.
On the contrary, I think bitcoin prices will enter the peak of their gains throughout 2025 and end with a bearish start at the end of the year. Currently we are in a bullish phase even though some of us still say this is a bullish start, but that doesn't matter because the price is actually quite high.

History may or may not repeat itself, but there is much hope that in 2025 we will have bitcoin above $100k. That is a price that is very likely to be expected, especially due to bitcoin fever or in other words FOMO.

Price history always a good resources to analyze the future trend and with the current trend we all know it is already expensive and expecting a correction which is happening already with Bitcoin. This is another opportunity to accumulate and its too early to end the bull trend, after this correction expect for the price to go up again.
Yes, price recovery tends to be more expected than deeper corrections. Bitcoin has corrected quite deeply over the last few days, even today we can find bitcoin down to $60k. An accumulation plan seems reasonable to do now instead of waiting for another big drop, but the market is already showing a recovery to the $67k level now.

I don't know, we don't know what will happen next. Prices will swing and will make investors doubt something, but if they are optimistic about the future after the halving then it is time for them to leave their doubts somewhere before it is too late.

Tottenham Hotspur will most likely take the fourth place in their next match and will wait four hours to see if Aston Villa will reclaim it but there will be a match difference between them.
This is temporarily obviously and by the end of the season I think Tottenham Hotspur will be fourth, followed by Aston Villa and Manchester United driven by the actual goals difference.
Of course, that's because Tottenham is believed to be able to win the match easily against Luton Town. I'm not too sure Tottenham can do it easily after their performance has been too bad recently, but the probability of Tottenham winning is certainly very high.

One advantage Tottenham has over Aston Villa is that Tottenham have 1 match in hand. So Tottenham will probably make good use of every match so that their chances of returning to the top 4 are better. Aston Villa have a lot of difficult games left in the season, so this will make their plans to stay in the top 4 difficult in my opinion.

It seems like there is nothing left for Bayern Munich to hope for in the Bundesliga except to prioritize the CL match against Arsenal and to qualify for the semi-finals and continue fighting for the Champions League title.
Even though the remainder of this match still holds many surprises, Leverkusen will not worry about these surprises because they know better that Bayern Munich is no longer focused on the Bundesliga but is more focused on more prestigious competitions.
I am not sure that Bayern Munich will catch up with Leverkusen, who are not certain to be able to catch up with such a large difference in points, while the risk is too high when chasing the Bundesliga title, it will affect the performance of the players or there is a risk of injury which could prevent Bayern Munich from winning the CL trophy.
That's right, Bayern Munich no longer has big hopes in the Bundesliga, especially after Leverkusen leads the standings with a gap of 10 points. Even though each team actually still has 8 matches until the end of the season, Bayern Munich's chances are no longer good at this time. Leverkusen only needs 5 more wins from the next 8 matches to seal the title, and that's if Bayern Munich can win all the remaining matches.

Bayern Munich has the opportunity to win the Champions League title, but of course that is not an easy thing to achieve. We know Bayern Munich are favorites over Arsenal, but Arsenal is a team that has big ambitions in the Champions League this season and Arteta will likely fulfill those expectations as best he can.

Yes, I have seen many people crying for these small fluctuations that happen in the price of the Bitcoins. They need to understand that these are very common. Not only they just cry, but also they complain that they miss the best time to buy the coins. But the reality is that when you are talking about Bitcoins, there is no perfect time to buy the coins. Whenever it’s possible just buy as many coins as you can and hold it for some time. You will definitely notice good profit.
If everyone had a mindset like yours, then maybe they would get returns commensurate with the risks considered. The problem is, not everyone is as optimistic as you, some of them even hesitate to do it because they are afraid of losing money. Investing is a risky thing and everyone has their own risk tolerance so they will not do something exactly the same as others.

It's true, there is no better time to buy than just taking advantage of every opportunity that is before your eyes. They can buy at any price, accumulate and build their investment portfolio, and wait for the right time to convert their profits.

I will not change my plan i stay on plan the 60k-70k base level of btc before my target 110k.
I don't think btc will fall Under 60k If anything then just 57k Lowest just to make good shake off before huge bull run.
For me no matter what's the price actually are now Im buying btc and altcoins becouse i want to be fully loaded before bull run.
I hope you can maintain that plan and realize it well. The opportunity is wide open now, especially because the price of bitcoin has corrected quite deeply in the last few days, so you should have done it. If you doubt that the price will fall further, then use DCA because it will help you to buy more.

I can't guarantee the price won't drop to $60k, that's a possibility that can't be completely ignored. At least you can accumulate at the current price rather than waiting for a bigger drop, but with DCA you definitely won't miss out on many of those opportunities. Do it well, but don't prioritize your ambition over strategy.

You are right, Xabi and Luis Enrique are students and teachers. And in this match Xavi will definitely try to prove that he was a worthy student of Luis Enrique Wink.

Luis Enrique is very experienced compared to Xavi this is true. But Xavi cannot be underestimated. Last season he won the La Liga title with Barcelona. The situation in Barcelona was very weak and shaky. He has been able to stabilize this team. So I would say Xavi has the ability to beat a PSG team.

Barcelona's match strategy is quite good. Barcelona players also performed well against Atletico Madrid in the last match. The PSG vs Barcelona match will be very competitive. It is impossible to predict which team will win. Both teams have equal chances of winning.
PSG has many reliable attackers in its squad, that is an advantage that PSG has compared to Barcelona. Meanwhile for Barcelona, ​​this team is being built with good confidence to finish this season with the best results. Xavi will try to convince his squad that PSG can still be beaten regardless of the depth of the squad they have.

This challenge must be accepted inevitably and both coaches will try their best. Luis Enrique has experience in winning titles with Barcelona, ​​but Xavi has also done it as a player. Both coaches will compete as best they can, but I think Barcelona has a slightly lower chance than PSG of qualifying for the semifinals. Whoever can win that match will probably qualify for the final, PSG or Barcelona.

Where are the ideas come from comparison between Jurgen Klopp with Erik ten Hag? I think its not related when comparison with the best manager Erik ten Hag after success eliminating Liverpool on FA Cup quarter final round. Did any remember how many trophies won by Erik ten Hag since becoming Manchester United manager last two season? become the first manager made Manchester United failed in Champion League group phase and this season get potential loss Champion League spot standings. I think the winning against Liverpool on FA Cup is not related comparison by looking current standings of Manchester United in Premier League.
No debate, Juergen Klopp have won Champion League and Premier League trophies is better than Erik ten Hag not winning any competitive trophies yet since become Manchester United manager.
Everyone can say whatever they like and it has even become commonplace to compare two managers when one of them loses a match. This comparison is not only about how many titles they won, but also how well they implemented their strategy when the two teams played each other.

I would say that Ten Hag was better in his last game against Jurgen Klopp in the FA Cup, so I think the comparison is worth it. Regarding the success that has been achieved, of course Jurgen Klopp is known as one of the successful coaches in the Premier League and Europe, but he is not always that good in each different season. This season Jurgen Klopp is still very likely not to win any titles, so I wouldn't say he will always be the best.

It's very easy to spot a useless team sometimes but because we don't evaluate them properly that's why. Even someone that's not an expert yesterday will say that Atletico was going to finish Barcelona with their current form and how they were able to remove Inter from the Champions League only for them to fumble against Barcelona, 11 men were playing against Barcelona after the red card and yet they didn't have more shorts on target, this is just a definition of a finish team, believe me they will not cross over after Quarter final in the Champions League.
Atletico Madrid actually gave their best fight against Barcelona in their home match, but they were less fortunate in the many goal attempts they had. Barcelona are in good form so far and they perform with confidence against any team. Not only was Atletico Madrid defeated, Barcelona was also able to beat Napoli with a score of 3-1 previously in the last 16 of the Champions League.

I find Barcelona's defense is currently improving as they are starting to find a good tandem at center back. Pau Cubarsi and Araujo are the two center backs that Xavi has relied on in the last few matches, they are good at handling pressure and that has succeeded in preventing Barcelona from conceding many goals. It is proven that Barcelona only conceded 3 goals in their last 7 matches, including the two Champions League last 16 matches against Napoli.

Barcelona are lucky to get their own share of 3 points and are now ahead of hyped Girona but the question now is how are ttey going to reach Real Madrid with all this kick off with their seriousness, Real Madrid don't look like they are going to back down right now. They are going to win this trophy without anything stopping them.
It wasn't luck, but it was the result they deserved after their hard work. But no matter how good Barcelona have been in their last few matches, I don't think they are any longer a threat to Real Madrid. Barcelona have an 8 point gap behind Real Madrid so far, so I think it's safe to assume they will only be in second place until the end of the season.

Everyone is just talking about Manchester United performance in their last match, Nobody expected that kind of performance from Manchester United, I never believed they will win the match, but the result of the match was really surprising, maybe Liverpool have learnt their lesson, don’t underestimate any club, Manchester United inconsistency this season made Liverpool underestimated them, but Manchester United surprised them. Congrats to Manchester United, they really deserve the result of the match because they played well in the match, they never relent from the beginning of the match till when the match ended, which really helped them.
This is what all Manchester United fans have been hoping for, but unfortunately the team's performance to date is still very unstable. Manchester United must be able to maintain its best performance in every match, so that many plans can be achieved at the end of the season, including winning the title. I'm happy with their recent performance, so I hope Ten Hag can keep it up for the rest of the season.

Following his great FA Cup win against Liverpool, I really hope Ten Hag can do the same in Premier League games. There are many tough matches in the remainder of this season waiting for Manchester United, but if Manchester United can get through then they might be able to return to the European zone next season.
