Bitcoin (BTC) is riding high on a wave of positive sentiment as it prepares to take on $50,000.
After a volatile weekend which saw a new all-time high, expectations are putting Bitcoin back in the spotlight as a fundamental level comes into play — what’s in store?
Cointelegraph considers five factors which could serve to move the market in the coming days. Stocks gain while the dollar dives
Stocks are climbing, building on a record-breaking rally which has seen many indexes already shoot higher than ever. Despite warnings that the good times may soon end, including from Warren Buffett’s market indicator last week, markets began Monday in the green.

At the same time, the strength of the U.S. dollar continues to falter. The U.S. dollar currency index, which measures USD against a basket of trading partner currencies, abandoned its latest attempt at a rebound over the weekend to test support at 90 once again. The index has been in a bearish mood for much of the past year, and Bitcoin has in turn gained from periods of express weakness and seen a retreats during trend-bucking comebacks.
Long term, however, central bank money printing is ensuring that in many jurisdictions, the economic environment does not revert to its former character any time soon.
Responding to a Valentine’s Day post from the European Central Bank (ECB), Saifedean Ammous, author of the popular book, “The Bitcoin Standard,” had little sympathy. The institution had promised to “keep financing conditions favourable ‘Til the crisis is through.”

$50,000 or not $50,000? That is the question
When it comes to Bitcoin specifically, it’s (mostly) about the short term for investors this week.
One event in particular — how and when the largest cryptocurrency will break $50,000 — is a talking point across the industry. The weekend produced a concerted effort to crack the latest psychologically significant level, with a classic “out-of-hours” bout of volatility producing new all-time highs of $49,714.
With sellers lined up at the final hurdle, however, $50,000 eluded the bulls and BTC/USD retreated lower before continuing to consolidate at around $47,000.

In his own forecast, meanwhile, fellow analyst filbfilb produced a new chart with a potential end-of-month BTC price as high as $78,000.
“The continually good news narrative we have seen makes me think this is entirely possible,” he added in comments on Twitter. “50k could easily be a squeeze, that’s what the volume says anyways.”
The target expands filbfilb’s previous expectations of $52,000 forming the next point of consolidation before a run to $63,000.
Noncoiner-naysayers feel the game is lost
Filbfilb’s “good news narrative” refers to an ongoing phenomenon reminiscent of the domino effect among major institutions reevaluating and flipping bullish on Bitcoin.
