There doesn't seem to be any significant news soon, which could have a strong impact on the BTC price. However, I think BTC doesn't need any news to reach $50k, as the upcoming halving will gradually push the BTC price up anyway.
As for adding new bets, I think TheQuin is probably too busy to do that. By the way, he was online a week ago, and I wouldn't be surprised if new bets don't appear on the site in the next few days.
Right, I forgot about the upcoming halving. That should give a boost to the price but maybe we will get a drop directly after the event? Similar to what happened with the approval of the bitcoin ETF. The days before, the price kept rising, even goes higher when approved and than pretty quickly after that, the price dropped pretty substantially.
As already mentioned we have too much hype about ETF and too much investment also happen but at the end we have not big gain and rate is still lurking around which was before this hype same atmosphere is now creating about halving which will surely bring good number of peoples under his influence, and then we will have good investment which can go bad for them even mostly now greedy peoples jumps in things like these.
