I think the big funds bought the coins at the last bottom and now have a big profit. It turns out they have already made x3 in a year. And now these funds need to gradually sell their coins. I want to be wrong, but there is a reason why there was a good rise on etf news.
It is always hard to precisely tell why the prices of Bitcoin and the rest of cryptocurrencies are rising because there isn't a single factor but it is very complicated. The ETF news might be a factor itself because certainly there is many new players in the field that joined recently but there is also the approaching halving that might gave a boost and of course big players that saw an opportunity of these events to boost a little the market... Now to answer the OP question, I think it is a little bit hard to see a new ATH in the next month but few days before the halving, things might go messy and we could see it happening. I say 20% we might see that and I believe it will not last long if that happened before the price goes down for a while.

As I said some several posts ago here that Bayern should not be relied to be betting on them as all the psychological pressure is on them and they showed tonight that they could not bear such a pressure and I also conclude that in here they completely lost any single glimpse of hope that they may had to win the Bundesliga this year,they simply have not been consistent.
Leverkussen needs just to not be self complacent and I am pretty sure with their performance they are going to have an easy win of the Bundesliga title during this year,they just need to not underestimate any remaining games until the end of the season.
Bayern Munich are running their chances and making the title accomplishment this season evaporate with every round. Bochum is a team hovering around the relegation zone and shouldn't be a problem for a team like Bayern. It wasn't a a lucky and a surprising finish with a late goal. Bayern Munich had the time to score but they failed to do it..

This round made PSG run away from the other teams with 13 points difference and Brest to move to the second position in the table after defeating Marseille. The defeat against Lyon was unexpected for Nice supporters and made Lyon escape further from the relegation zone. Nantes started with some power but ended up by accepting the domination of PSG although having and missing many opportunities. Next time PSG will face Rennes which has a good record lately but they are expected to lose.

Is it because of the fact that most of their players are out injured cause Carlo Ancelloti is using the formation he used when they played Leipzig in the champions league and honestly it's not doing well for him.
The game finished and Real Madrid not only lost two points in it, but they will lose another player due to the red card, in addition to the ones that are already injured! Carvajal made a no sense, useless move with his head that made Real Madrid play with only 10 players in the last minutes, otherwise it was already clear that Real Madrid wouldn't be able to score a goal. Now Girona will have a chance to reduce the gap to only three points once they could defeat Athletic Bilbao which I doubt it will occur.

Only 1-1 for Napoli, 1 point, and now their position is critical for the top 4 and the Champion's League zone.
TBH they can even maybe end 5th for a spot this season.
Maybe even further. The result was a draw at home and even almost lost, fortunately there was a goal at the end of the match which saved Napoli from defeat in front of their own supporters. This is a fair result because Napoli's performance was not that good in this match and it is clear that there is no good progress in terms of performance in the Napoli team and I doubt that they can finish in the European zone. Napoli cannot continue like that and I blame their president for not selling Osimhen for like $100m so they could have more funds to build a stronger team.. This season they are struggling to keep a good position for any of the European competition... Right now, Inter Milan is the team that has the best performance and results in Serie A, even Juventus are having many troubles. In the first half against Verona, the result is a draw with one goal for each team.

A simple and pragmatic win for Leverkussen makes them 8 points ahead Bayern Munchen,of course with a game more but it shows that this year it won't be easy at all for Munchen to recover and win the title like they usually have done when they were fighting against Dortmund and Leipzig which are well known for screwing up and being very consistent teams.
I think now since Munchen knows this,some surprise results may also happen to them because they will bearing a huge psychological pressure as they see Leverkussen quite ahead now so I would refrain from betting and choosing them in my tickets.
Bayern Munich know very well that every defeat or even a simple draw could cost them the title since Bayer Leverkusen are advancing in a steady manner while they are missing points from here and there. Bayer Leverkusen won with two goals and received only one at the end of the match which is normal in my opinion. Bayern should try to reduce the actual gap if they want to stay competitive. In another match, Borussia Dortmund missed two points due to a draw against Wolfsburg and will give Leipzig an opportunity to reduce the gap..

As we have often seen with teams that make surprises like Girona did in La Liga this season and it is very likely that moments like this season will not be repeated and even Leicester, who won the Premier League at that time, will not be able to maintain their performance in the following season. That's only natural and so far what Girona has done is quite extraordinary, I'm sure their target to win La Liga is not even in their minds, this is very significant and quite a small percentage and I can even say it won't be possible.
Girona know very well that this opportunity they have this season might not happens again and they should try to profit from it. They will have a game in two days against Athletic Bilbao which is a hard team and playing home by the way and they are expected to lose. Such defeat will cost them the title in my opinion since Real Madrid will be able to increase the gap to eight points but also Barcelona could get closer from them. Guaranteeing a place in UEFA Champions League should not be their unique objective this season but to try to pick the first spot from Real Madrid as they did previously.

Luton should not be underestimated either, they are in pretty good form at the moment and they will also be playing at home. However, Manchester United's current performance is quite extraordinary, in the last few matches it is clear that Manchester United's performance has improved quite significantly, which means they will be prioritized or favored in this week's match against Luton.
I tend to not trust much Manchester United, meanwhile it should be said that their results are positive lately. At the opposite Luton Town aren't that successful and they collected only 5 points in the last five matches. Playing at home entered into consideration for bookies for sure, otherwise Luton Town odds could be lower. If Luton Town lose this match then they might switch to the relegation zone since Everton are expected to win against Crystal Palace this Monday.

There is just 2 Conference league games that I made bets on and I got burned in both. It's Betis and Ajax. And Ajax were actually few minutes away from huge fiasco, being down 0:2 at home on 90th minute. But then red card, scored penalty and another goal after few minutes and score is 2:2 already.Anyway, trip to Bodo will be difficult, if Ajax will get eliminated there, I wouldn't call it surprise.
I didn't trust Ajax to win but they burned me anyway with only 6 corners (I needed over 9.5 to save my insurance because dumb Betis couldn't win. Ajax did get all of those corners however so maybe I shouldn't be so hard on them. But they're AJAX!! So yeah, we both got burned easily, I should have stuck with over goals markets, though Betis would have made me lose anyway. Stupid football, now I am blank everywhere and need to make new depo lol Sorry for your losses but you know gambling is hazardous, UEFA games have quite random results and for sure Conference League is the top randomness which might give the impression of more money to collect in case of a winner ticket. Anyway, next week we will have the second leg to be played, Ajax Amsterdam and Betis have games with similar results for both in their respective games.

Right, Feyenoord is ranked 2nd in the local league and they have a good record, I think the same thing that in the second leg of Feyenoord might be defeated by Roma because Roma plays at home with full support. Lukaku will be a mainstay in the attack line as we know, Lukaku really knows how to defeat opponent when they come as an away team. What is clear is that Roma opportunity to qualify for the next stage is still open and Roma is still in high confidence.
Roma indeed have a better odds than Feyenoord. Even if the ranking is not the same for the two clubs in their respective leagues but Serie A remains better than Eredivisie. Roma playing home @2 vs Feyenoord away @3.4. Additionally, Roma used to beat Feyenoord in the past so I expect them to win too. From what I see, odds are all in favour of the home team except for Qarabag and Toulouse which have worse odds. For Rennes - Milan and Sparta Praha and Galatasaray, the odds are almost similar in this second leg.

This is the reason I call it " Lottery League" because you really never know what type of games you will watch and today it was just like that.
Ajax basically picked a draw at the very end of the game, on extra time which is pretty much a waste of money for bettors. For Dinamo Zagreb, they won although making less efforts in that game. Frankfurt started well their match in the first half then dropped in performance in the second half making their opponent getting the draw.. I agree that betting in these matches is very random comparing to classic leagues' games.

I know Benzema wants to go, but of course you never know. His contract in Saudi Arabia has a very high fee. There is no team in Europe that can meet this. Of course, I don't know if the Saudi team wants to loan him and pay his salary. I don't think they will do such a thing. I think Benzema should focus on the league and prepare himself to be the best.
I doubt if Benzema will leave Saudi league very soon. His contract with Al Ittihad will last until June 30, 2026. Before the contract expires, I'm sure Benzema will try to survive there. Al Ittihad give the captain status for Benzema and he is given a high salary. So, these are some matters that make Benzema to feel more comfortable in SPL. Yep. There are no many options to return to top leagues in Europe. I'm not sure if there are many teams interested to sign Benzema because Benzema is already an old player. Most top teams will prefer to sign the players with their golden ages. So, there is no big chance to return to Europe. There is nothing clear about Benzema with Al-Ittihad. He wasn't included in the list of players that played in AFC Champions League against Navbahor and Al-Ittihad have to wait for the second leg after their draw in today's match. That was a hard message for Benzema to reduce his attitude and play with them like any other player.

PAG dominated Real Sociedad as expected but I cant say the same about Bayern vs Lazio. Unfortunately, Upamecano got red carded however, Bayern couldn't get even a single shot on target. They did take 17 shots but none of them were on target, which is surprising since they have a superstar like Harry Kane in their team. It is good that these are 2 legs, so, Bayern still have a good shot at going through to the next round.
When I saw the two fixtures of the two games played tonight, I thought PSG victory will be harder than Bayern Munich one. Real Sociedad is a good team and might pick a draw against better opponents, yet PSG managed to beat them by two goals, one of it was scored by Kylian Mbappe as usual! Now in the other game, Lazio isn't consistent in Serie A but they won against Bayern Munich by one goal. The red card shouldn't be an excuse in my opinion since Bayern Munich could score a goal or even win with 10 players in normal conditions. That was simply not their day. Lazio should be worried in the second leg, Bayern will not let them pass easily and 1 goal difference is nothing after all.

Besides the defensive pattern, I'm Very much annoyed with the coach for starting Chukwueze and Iwobi in that match. Iheanacho and Yusuf could've done better and Osihmen should've been removed from the 70th minutes
This, without mentioning that Ivory Coast team is very lucky! They won 1 match with 2 goals then lost vs Nigeria and vs Equatorial Guinea by 1 and 4 goals respectively, yet they managed to qualify! They beat Senegal by penalties Mali at the last moments each time then DR Congo and Nigeria by one goal difference each. I don't find them impressive but quite lucky. Nigeria made many mistakes and it was paid fast! Looking back at how Ivory Coast made it to the final and won the cup after finishing their group on third position made me to have a rethink that it was all a game of luck for them. But again, it could be as a result of change of Coach and the return of Adingra and Haller in the attacking for them. Those two played excellently well for the team since they returned fully from injury, their duo is great and every team will love to have such talents in their team. Nigeria had their chances and the Ivory Coast we won in the group stage was different from the one we were playing with in the finals, they should have understood this and used a different formation approach. The team had improved and without us understanding that, they punished us by that. To make it clearer, Ivory Coast were lucky because they wouldn't have been in any phase without the help of Morocco after their defeats. I will just put this example and pass. Now, hard working and changes made within the club, playing with better performance and so on... I totally agree, they did improve, they played better than what used to do and without hard working they wouldn't be in the final and win the game obviously. Nevertheless, the luck they had was undeniable.

If Leipzig would be playing in the german league the same as they have done yesterday against Real Madrid they would be for sure in the top 3 of the table. Little bit sad that the last weeks they dont won there games and then in the Champions League they are playing very good and was just unlucky to make the draw. Hopefully on the coming weekend against Gladbach at home they can win the game.
Playing well and achieving a good result, as we see, are two different things, and by the way, I think Real could improve if it was needed. Leipzig's next game will be against Monchengladbach and I actually think the odds are too optimistic for Leipzig: 1.34 - 5.49 - 7.06 Mönchengladbach is certainly weak this season, but 1.34 after a difficult game with Real, even at home, does not look like good compensation for the risk. Odds are sometimes hilarious. Yesterday I saw in Ligue 1 for exemple Lyon odds are better than Nice ones. I don't know if these odds changed or not because Lyon are bad this season and Nice are the second in the ranking.. Anyway, they have a reason for that for sure!
In this Bundesliga round, I am curious whether Borussia Dortmund could keep positive results and win against Wolfsburg or not. Odds are better for Dortmund but not that reassuring comparing to Leverkusen or Bayern Munich.

Finally, after being absent for a long time, it seems Neymar is back in Saudi Arabia. When he got injured while playing for Brazil he decided to stay in his own country to get in the letter form however Al Hilal wanted to have their player in Saud Arabia while recovering but he didn't. Now he returned to Saudi Arabia however we don't know how long it takes for him to be able to play for his team again. Regarding the type of injury Neymar has and the surgery he underwent then for sure he will stay out of the field for quite long periods. At least 6 months, that's the duration of recovery from knees injuries, that duration might gets reduced to 4 months if everything went well and Neymar and his team wants to talk the risk. Brazilian national team won't expect him to play sooner than summer

This is a day that is highly anticipated because after all, the matches in the Champions League are starting to take place. The opening matches are Man City vs Copenhagen and Real Madrid vs Leipzig. Most of us are sure that Man City and Real Madrid will win this match. But the results will be fine. Moreover, Real Madrid, they competed without Bellingham, right? He suffered an injury. So, this might be a little difficult for Real Madrid. Thankfully they are already ahead 0 - 1. But what can we do, they should be able to score more goals.
Manchester City had a comfortable match comparing to Real Madrid. In fact Copenhagen barely made a threat and they had only few attacks. Manchester City were able to score 3 goals and almost securing a spot for the next round. Anyway the second leg will be easier and home for them. Real Madrid now won with only one goal difference with an injury for their player Diaz who was expected to replace Bellingham. Real Madrid are suffering from injuries in all lines!

The thing about Lyon is that they may look bad right now, but recently they have been doing very well, so it could be a shock but I would not be really expecting them to just roll over neither
Lyon's games will remain very random with the inconsistency of this team in French Ligue 1 this season. Right now and thanks to the two successive victories they got, they managed to escape from the relegation zone with at least 3 points, yet it isn't very reassuring. They should try to get a wider gap to stay secure. Next time against Nice should be a defeat normally but I see Odds of both teams close to each others or even an advantage of Lyon

That's Serie A, there are times when the unseeded team can win safely without caring who the opponent is and Udinese humiliated Juventus in front of their fans with a narrow score of 0-1. Of course, many people didn't expect a result like this to happen and what's more, I also saw that when Juventus conceded first, the betting odds for Juventus increased to @2.95 and aren't those very exciting odds? It wasn't obvious to see Juventus conceding a goal, worst is to see them receiving an early goal without responding... That defeat along with Inter Milan victory against Roma made Inter very comfortable in the league with 7 points advantage, without counting the fact that they still have one more game to play, so the difference can increase to 10 points difference making the mission harder for the others to catch them. In the other hand, AC Milan are now just 1 point behind them so more pressure for Juventus.

This round matches witnessed the defeat of Girona, Atletico Madrid and the draw of Barcelona making Real Madrid the team that profited the most by increasing the points gap up to 5 points from Girona and 10 from Barcelona. Girona received a heavy score by 4 goals to 0 against Real Madrid. Atletico Madrid defeat wasn't expected vs Sevilla! Even Grenada picking a point from Barcelona was a surprise and show how bad the team is..
