In the final months of 2023, Bitcoin continued its sharp rise, but after an ETF decision, the wind shifted, and the price plummeted from $49,000 to $38,500. However, BTC recovered and has since hosted a surge not seen for a long time. In recent days, the BTC price exceeded $64,270 before experiencing a slight pullback.

On the other hand, in the BTC TRY pair, the price exceeded 2,000,000 Turkish Lira. Following this surge, there are already speculations about whether the price will rise again to $69,000 or even $100,000.
