Renowned crypto analyst and creator of the stock-to-flow model has issued an extraordinarily rosy prediction regarding Bitcoinâs future price prospects, estimating that the alpha crypto is poised to balloon to $500,000 heights within the next four-year cycle based on the modelâs historical pattern.
PlanBâs prognostication came as BTC crossed the $77,000 mark for the first time following Donald Trumpâs election win and the Federal Reserveâs rate cut on Thursday.
PlanBâs Bullish Bitcoin Outlook
In a recent video update, pseudonymous analyst PlanB told his YouTube subscribers that his popular stock-to-flow model suggests that Bitcoin could exceed $500,000 in this cycle.
âSo basically, we broke the month-long trading range where Bitcoin moved between $60,000 and $70,000⌠If history is any guide, if the stock-to-flow model is any guide, then weâll see sharp price increases from here.â
Although PlanB expects the BTC price to hit $500,000 in this cycle, he mentions a wide range between $250,000 and $1,000,000.
BTC has added a measly 0.7% in the last 24 hours and is about 1.2% below its all-time high of over $77K. Much of Bitcoinâs bullish momentum stems from Republican Donald Trumpâs win in Tuesdayâs U.S. presidential election.
Trump, who made a slew of crypto-related commitments before his election, has retaken the White House. So far, his policy proposals include making the U.S. the âcrypto capital of the planet and the Bitcoin superpower of the world,â creating a strategic Bitcoin reserve, and firing the anti-crypto SEC Chair Gary Gensler.
PlanB cited Trumpâs proposal to establish a national BTC reserve as a potential catalyst for demand. In particular, he suggests that the U.S. could add â200,000 BTCs per yearâ in buying pressure.
All eyes are now on how Trumpâs crypto stance could reshape the market.
More Bullish Predictions
Speaking to CNBCâs Power Lunch on Friday, Jan Van Eck also predicted that the price of Bitcoin was headed to new highs. Indeed, BTC eked out a new record price of $77,239 yesterday. Bitcoinâs new record high marks a powerful breakout from its grueling, eight-month consolidation period, which tested crypto investorsâ patience. When asked if he thought Bitcoin was going to $100,000, the pundit suggested that the largest and oldest crypto asset has more room to run:
âMy basic premise is ultimately Bitcoinâs value will be half of that of all the gold outstanding so youâre talking about something like $300,000 for Bitcoin.â
The Van Eck boss didnât clarify the rationale behind his âhalf of ⌠all the gold outstandingâ view but said he believes it was a âreasonable base assumption,â adding that Bitcoin is âdigital goldâ to him.
Furthermore, the huge inflows into the 11 U.S.-listed spot BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs) since Trumpâs victory signify the benchmark crypto may have entered the most explosive phase of the market cycle.
