🏹 From $100K to $1M

PlanB said his predictions for Bitcoin’s price movement in 2024 and 2025 have not changed since he revealed them in October 2022 when the cryptocurrency was below $20,000. The creator of the Bitcoin stock-to-flow (S2F) model has doubled down on his Bitcoin (BTC) predictions for this bull cycle. According to a tweet by the crypto analyst, BTC will surge past $100,000 this year and possibly touch the $500,000 mark next year, rallying within the $250,000 and $1 million range.

Although the Bitcoin S2F model has been criticised in recent years for its inaccuracy, PlanB’s analysis has recorded a few wins. Most recently, he forecasted that BTC would rally as the halving approached and that the event would take place while the asset’s value hovered between $55,000 and $60,000. The predictions came through, with BTC hitting an all-time high of $73,700 before halving and retracing to $63,000 during the event. It remains to be seen when the cryptocurrency will cross $100,000 this year and reach the $500,000 target next year.

Last month, the crypto analyst said May marked the beginning of a new countdown to the next halving scheduled for 2028. He said Bitcoin’s performance in April disclosed a closing price of $60,632, which signalled the end and completion of the previous halving cycle. PlanB believes BTC could reach an average price of $500,000 between 2024 and 2028. The S2F model’s analysis quells worries from crypto community members about BTC rallying to new highs post-halving since the cryptocurrency hit an all-time high before the event. PlanB said in March that BTC would witness ten months of “face-melting FOMO,” comprising extreme price pumps and multiple drops as low as 30%. Regardless, the asset would rally to new highs in the coming months. Meanwhile, PlanB believes BTC would never go below $33,000 again in subsequent bear markets and post-halving slumps.

🐋 Whale Activity Soars

As the Bitcoin (BTC) price holds above $71,000, the appetite for long-term holders seems to be growing once again. It seems that the BTC whales have once again returned to massive accumulation while buying in large quantities over the past month. CryptoQuant has reported a significant improvement in Bitcoin demand growth, which is a crucial condition for a sustainable price rally. Several factors contribute to this positive trend.

Large BTC investors have contributed $1 billion in daily inflows, suggesting a growing interest and investment in the cryptocurrency. There has been a faster growth rate in the total balances of long-term holders and substantial investors, indicating strong confidence in BTC’s future performance. Additionally, there has been a noticeable rise in Bitcoin purchases from spot ETFs in the USA, further boosting demand. The market has seen $1 billion in daily inflows from new large Bitcoin investors, highlighting their growing interest and investment in the cryptocurrency.

CryptoQuant has observed a significant resurgence in the buying appetite of Bitcoin whales, reaching its highest level in the past two months. Permanent holders have amassed 70,000 BTC over the past 30 days, with whale demand for Bitcoin increasing at a monthly rate of 4.4%. On the other hand, the spot Bitcoin ETFs have finally broken the streak of 17 consecutive days of inflows. On Thursday, June 6, the total net inflow of U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs amounted to $218 million. Grayscale’s ETF, GBTC, experienced a single-day outflow of $37.574 million, while BlackRock’s ETF, IBIT, saw a single-day inflow of $350 million. The cumulative historical net inflow for IBIT has now reached $17.431 billion.

🌋 Volatility

Volatility is a market condition characterised by frequent and unpredictable price movements. It reflects the rapid and often substantial changes in the value of assets, making the market dynamic yet uncertain. Investors often view volatility as both a risk and an opportunity, as it can lead to significant gains or losses in a short period. Understanding and navigating market volatility is crucial for traders looking to capitalise on price swings while managing potential risks effectively.
