In the world of cryptocurrency, predictions regarding the price of Bitcoin are a dime a dozen. Pseudonymous crypto analyst PlanB has recently made a bold claim that Bitcoin will hit $100,000 this year, despite the current bearish sentiments surrounding the flagship crypto.
PlanB, in a video on his YouTube channel, confidently stated that he believes the $100,000 mark for Bitcoin is ‘inevitable’. He went on to suggest that $100,000 may just be the starting point for Bitcoin in this market cycle, pointing to the Bitcoin stock-to-flow (STF) indicator which hints at $500,000 being the average price level for Bitcoin.
Although PlanB predicts that Bitcoin will not reach its peak this year, as he forecasts the top to be sometime in 2025, he speculates that from an STF perspective, the price could even rise to as high as $1 million. This ambitious prediction puts him in the company of a few analysts who share a similar view, including the CEO of Jan3, Samson Mow, who also believes in the possibility of Bitcoin hitting $1 million.
Despite the optimistic long-term outlook, PlanB warns Bitcoin holders of the volatility that may come with this bull market. He cautions investors to brace for significant drops of up to -30%, emphasizing that these fluctuations are normal and should not be a cause for panic. This sentiment is echoed by Alex Thorn, Head of Research at Galaxy Digital, who reminds investors that markets, even in bullish cycles, do not move in a straight line and are subject to corrections.
As of the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at around $66,000, experiencing a slight decrease in the last 24 hours. This slight dip does not deter the long-term predictions and expectations attached to the cryptocurrency.
While bold predictions about the future price of Bitcoin spark excitement and speculation within the crypto community, it is important for investors to approach such forecasts with caution. The volatile nature of the market requires a well-informed and strategic approach to investment decisions. As PlanB and other analysts make their predictions, it is crucial for investors to conduct thorough research and consider the risks associated with cryptocurrency investment before making any decisions.
