Pantera Capital: Bitcoin price could rise to $147,800 after halving

On the eve of the expected halving in April 2024, digital gold may rise in price to $35,448 and then go into rally mode to $147,843. Such forecasts submitted Pantera Capital analysts.

The experts obtained the mentioned values ​​based on the Stock-to-Flow metric. The model predicts the value of bitcoin based on the stock-to-production (SF) ratio.

Halving is historically associated with higher prices for the first cryptocurrency due to its impact on the ratio of reserves to production.

According to the cycles, the price of bitcoin was supposed to bottom on December 30, 2022. In fact, it happened almost two months earlier amid the collapse of FTX.

“The last episode in 2020 reduced the supply of new coins by 43% compared to the previous event. […] If history repeats itself, at the next halving, the price will rise to $35,000 the day before and $148,000 after the miner reward is halved,” the experts calculated.

The current price is 7% higher than the model price, they added.

Pantera Capital noted that bitcoin went through the longest period of negative annual returns in its history, at 15 months (February 2022 to June 2023).

“We think the markets have fallen enough. We expect growth by the new year with subsequent acceleration after halving,” experts predicted.

According to analysts, the recent XRP court ruling and BlackRock’s bid to launch a Bitcoin ETF will also provide “a strong foundation for the next digital asset bull market.”

Recall that trader and analyst Michael van de Poppe predicted the growth of digital gold quotes to $50,000 ahead of the halving.

On December 12, 2022, BitMEX founder Hayes announced that the first cryptocurrency had reached the bottom, and five months later he predicted its new rally by 2024.
