According to the countdown of #CoinMarketCap , the next bitcoin halving will take place in less than 31 days.
With approximately 4,450 blocks to process, the fourth bitcoin halving is expected to take place on April 20, with a 50% reduction in miner rewards from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC.

Standard Chartered Bank made a bold prediction, increasing its forecast for the price of BTC from 100,000,$ to 150,000,$ in 2024.
In an investment note to clients on Monday March 18, Standard Chartered Bank analysts wrote,
“For 2024, given the larger than expected price gains since the start of the year, we now see potential for the price to reach the 150,000 level $ by the end of the year, compared to our previous estimate of $100,000. »
The bank also predicted that the BTC price would reach a cycle high at $250,000 in 2025 before stabilizing around $200,000.
