Need some Bitcoin 'hopium'? This chart calls for new BTC price all-time high by November

The latest bullish Bitcoin price forecast further cements the case for a breakout, but a retracement could conversely end up with a visit to $45,000.

Bitcoin (BTC) is on track to see new all-time highs this month and at least $72,000 in November if the latest price data is accurate.

In a tweet on Oct. 12, Filbfilb, an analyst at trading platform Decentrader, described what he said was an achievable price target for this month and next.

BTC price to $72,000? "Stranger things have happened," says trader

With “Uptober” delivering solid bullish results so far, analysts are keen to chart where the Bitcoin bull run might lead in Q4.

As Cointelegraph reported, some predictions have used historical price comparisons and even simple calculations to deliver near-term BTC/USD targets of up to $300,000.

For Filbfilb, a move back to previous all-time highs of $64,500 and beyond in the coming weeks remains “hopium,” but the overall bullish Bitcoin market might not need much inspiration to deliver it.

“A bit of good news coupled with the stubborn hodlers though and its possible.. stranger things have happened,” he commented.

Despite the upwards trajectory, however, he added that now is not the time to take on risk, advising traders not to use extensive leverage for long or short positions.

An accompanying chart compared 2021 to 2017, the year after the previous block subsidy halving event. Accordingly, a rematch of all-time highs by the end of October seems possible, this matching existing forecasts.

Bets rise on a $45,000 floor

On the topic of a potential retracement, meanwhile, Filbfilb mooted the idea of $48,000, amid a lack of broad selling interest.

“My head says 48 but there dont fundamentally really seem to be any sellers beyond whats on the exchanges. idk, I'm 50/50,” he said in Twitter comments.

This echoes Decentrader's own targets of around $45,000-50,000 once resistance is hit closer to $60,000.

"Similar to previous events, we then saw a correction back to retest the $50-1k level, which we are again anticipating," a market update warned late last week.

"It is worth noting that corrections back to significant levels like $50k in this instance often do not hold up on the first time of asking, so we will be observing price action around here as prices could fall back slow as $45k as we saw in February of this year."

At the time of writing, BTC/USD traded at $57,400 as 24 hours of ranging behavior followed a clip to five-month highs.

The Congolese Mountain of Gold: Surprise Discovery in Africa Shows Metal’s Scarcity Is Hard to Prove

A myriad of gold bugs like to compliment the yellow precious metal for its ostensible scarcity, as estimates say only 2,500 to 3,000 tons of new gold is produced annually. While new gold discoveries have seemingly slowed, investigative studies also show that in some areas, gold is being smuggled into the economy by the ton, and often never accounted for as far as per annum issuance estimates. Recently, reports show a whole mountain of gold was discovered in the Congo, as the Democratic Republic of the Congo is well known for being a region that sees tons of smuggled gold filtered into the global financial system unreported. Surprise Gold Deposits Continue to Crack the Precious Metal’s Scarcity Proposition It has always been said that the precious metal gold (Au) is scarce, and some reports even say that gold mining on earth will end by the year 2050 . Additionally, estimates also show that there’s roughly 2,500 to 3,000 tons of new gold that is accounted for and enters into the fin...
