$BTC continues consolidation within the Wedge.

To explain, a falling wedge pattern is generally interpreted as a bullish signal. It generally suggests that a bearish trend is losing steam and a price reversal may occur soon.
If this pattern holds true in the current Bitcoin market, Captain Faibik predicts that Bitcoin could start to rise in November and reach a price of $34,500 by January 2024. Such a price increase would mean a 30% increase in Bitcoin’s current price.
