It appears that the cryptocurrency sector is witnessing a fierce battle between bulls and bears, particularly when it comes to Bitcoin (BTC). While this struggle continues in the market, analysts are consistently sharing their optimistic outlooks. In this context, a prominent figure in the market, PlanB, has put forth a significant prediction for the future of BTC.
Bitcoin Price Forecast
PlanB, a cryptocurrency analyst and the creator of the stock-to-flow (S2F) model, recently shared a post on May 7, predicting that the average Bitcoin price for the 2020-2024 halving period would be $34,000. This forecast was slightly lower than his previous prediction of $55,000 in 2019.
In a subsequent update to the S2F model, PlanB incorporated new data that pointed to similar parameters and results, leading him to set the average Bitcoin price for the 2024-2028 halving at $500,000. Looking further ahead, for the halving period of 2028-2032, he calculated the Bitcoin price to be $4 million.
Reviewing his past statements, PlanB recently projected that Bitcoin would surpass $100,000 in the second half of 2024. The price of Bitcoin closed at slightly above $60,000 in April, marking a 36% increase since the beginning of the year.
Furthermore, professional cryptocurrency investors and analysts suggest that a market peak could occur in 2025, potentially driving the Bitcoin price to reach $200,000.

Bitcoin’s market capitalization has fallen to $1.23 billion, experiencing a 2% decrease. The 24-hour trading volume for Bitcoin stands at $25 billion, with only a 0.1% decrease.
