In terms of trading: you'd like to get confirmation above 0.06 BTC or a sweep beneath the lows.

Looking beyond Ethereum, van de Poppe also offers insights into Bitcoin’s future trajectory, suggesting a potential price target of $48,000 before the upcoming halving event scheduled for April.
#Bitcoin remains in between levels.
This means that there's still a period of consolidation, from which I think that Ethereum is going to start outperforming, especially if the upgrades are going to be a success.
