PlanB: Bitcoin price will not fall below $60,000

Bitcoin (BTC) was again in the spotlight, reaching a new all-time high of $73,760 on March 14, 2024.

The new all-time high marks a major milestone for BTC, especially ahead of the highly anticipated halving. PlanB, a popular analyst in the crypto community, shared his thoughts on this phenomenon and gave a forecast regarding the future prospects of Bitcoin.

$200,000 is a conservative target for BTC

PlanB's forecast is based on the Stock-to-Flow (S2F) model. It predicts significant price fluctuations around Bitcoin halvings by comparing the current supply of the coin to the flow of new BTC entering the market. According to PlanB, BTC's compliance with the S2F model's predictions, especially before the halving, is the most important indicator of its future performance. The transition from blue to red dots in the PlanB model indicates a transition to new phases of the market cycle, with red indicating a bullish market.

This transition is forecast to continue based on historical patterns, rising signals and sustained bullish momentum.

PlanB believesthat while the market will be subject to volatility with potential drops of 20-30%, the overall trajectory remains upward.

“Next we will see a sharp rise in prices, [потенциально] up to $100,000 this year. [Но] note that this model will jump to around $500,000 in April, which is the average price level for the halving period. It may take several months or almost a year to reach this level, so the next peak will not be reached this year, but next year, 2025.”

As for the next market top, some expect Bitcoin to reach $200,000. However, according to PlanB, this figure may be lower than expected. From an S2F perspective, he is looking at a target well above the average – perhaps above $500,000 – which would be in line with the model's predictions.

A key factor supporting this optimistic outlook is the behavior of on-chain indicators such as realized price and two-year realized price, which show notable growth during bull markets. Specifically, the five-month realized price forms a new strong support level at $60,000.

“The five-month realized price, which is the price of short-term holders, is now at $60,000. This is expected to be an aggressive support level because if we look at previous bull markets, we see that the price of Bitcoin does not go below [пятимесячной реализованной цены]. So this is my personal aggressive bottom, below which I don’t think we will sink again.”

In addition, the relative strength indicator (RSI) reflects an interesting picture. It is currently at its highest pre-halving level, suggesting that BTC is entering this phase with unprecedented strength. This shift from the pattern of declining returns in previous cycles may indicate a transition to exponential growth.
