Bitcoin Longs Above $43K in Focus, Analyst Says
Bitcoin's wave 5 impulse move has begun and could see prices top $50,000 by the end of the first quarter, 10x Research's Markus Thielen said, having correctly predicted the recent pullback.

The analyst who correctly predicted bitcoin’s recent drop to $38,000 now sees levels above $43,000 appropriate for taking fresh bullish bets on the cryptocurrency.
“With reversal indicators suggesting that a tradeable low is in, we should focus on longs. From a risk management perspective, we should re-engage in long positions once bitcoin breaks above $43,000,” 10x Research’s Founder Markus Thielen said in a note to clients on Monday.

“Potential catalysts for a move higher could center around the diminishing impact that the Grayscale GBTC selling could have on the price of bitcoin, the fact that stocks are making new all-time highs, and Google is allowing Bitcoin & Crypto ETF advertisements from today onwards," Thielen said.
The tech giant updated its ad policy in December of last year to allow Google-certified "crypto coin trust" operators to advertise on the search engine starting from Jan. 29.
Thielen’s bullish view is based on the Elliot Wave theory, which assumes that prices move in waves rather than simple patterns, and future movements can be predicted by observing the repetitive wave pattern.
According to the theory, trends progress in five waves, of which, 1, 3, and 5 are “impulse waves,” representing the primary trend. The rest are “retrace waves,” signifying a temporary halt of the primary trend.
According to Thielen, bitcoin has been in a five-wave bullish pattern since early last year, with the recent pullback from roughly $49,000 to $38,500 constituting wave 4 or the temporary retracement. Now, wave 5 has begun and could take prices above $50,000.
“Elliot Wave analysis has also labelled this retracement to 38,522 as wave (4) with a wave (5) projection of 52,671 – potentially by the end of Q1, 2024,” Thielen noted.
The bullish outlook is consistent with the decline in selling pressure from investors taking profits in the crypto investment vehicle, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC). The profit-taking was partially responsible for bitcoin falling into wave 4 correction following the launch of U.S.-based spot ETFs on Jan. 11.
Bitcoin changed hands at $42,160 at press time, representing a 0.3% gain on the day, according to CoinDesk data.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
Yang perlu diketahui:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

Dogecoin turns lower after failing to hold $0.124
Traders are watching $0.122 as support and $0.1243–$0.1255 as the levels DOGE needs to reclaim.
What to know:
- Dogecoin inched up about 0.6 percent over the past 24 hours but remained stuck in a tight trading range as broader crypto sentiment, rather than token-specific news, drove price action.
- Late-session selling pushed DOGE back below short-term support at $0.1243, turning that level into near-term resistance and signaling fading upside momentum within an overall consolidation.
- Traders see DOGE as range-bound while $0.1222 holds, with a break below $0.12 viewed as a potential trigger for a deeper pullback and a reclaim of $0.1243 needed to reopen a test of $0.1255.
