Bitcoin (BTC) is grappling with a bearish turn as it extended below $62,000 today. However, industry stakeholders are optimistic on the recovery of the Bitcoin price trajectory. Hence, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju has made a bold prediction regarding Bitcoin’s price, foreseeing a surge to $265,000. 
<h2 id="cryptoquant-ceo-hints-at-impending-bitcoin-price-rally">CryptoQuant CEO Hints At Impending Bitcoin Price Rally</h2> 
In the latest post on X, Ju asserted that the network fundamentals of <a href="https://coingape.com/markets/btc-usd-bitcoin-call-options-hit-172k-as-bitcoin-bags-64000-100k-incoming/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin</a> could sustain a market cap three times compared to the top in the previous cycle. Moreover, Ju highlighted the Hashrate/market cap ratio to prove his point. The ratio currently stands at 2 billion. 
This value falls short of the recent Bitcoin price rally, which propelled BTC above $73,000. With Bitcoin’s market cap currently at $1.22 trillion and a price hovering below $62,000, Ju’s projection implies significant growth potential. 
He stated, “#Bitcoin    network fundamentals could support a market cap three times its current size compared to the last cyclical top, potentially sustaining a price of $265K.” This prediction underscores Ju’s confidence in Bitcoin’s underlying strength, despite recent market fluctuations. 
Earlier, PlanB, a renowned crypto analyst, echoed a similar sentiment. In a recent analysis, the analyst highlighted that the average BTC price throughout the 2020-2024 <a href="https://coingape.com/top-analyst-explains-why-bitcoin-price-will-top-477k/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin Halving</a> period settled around $34,000. Despite falling short of the $55,000 forecasted by the S2F model back in 2019, this figure still aligns with expectations. 
Notably, this prediction emerged when Bitcoin traded at under $4,000, underscoring the model’s capacity to navigate volatility with substantial accuracy. In light of current data, PlanB has undertaken a refit of the S2F model, yielding comparable parameters and outcomes. 
The updated prognosis presents a remarkable price target of $477,665 for the 2024-2028 Halving cycle. This projection indicates a whopping 670% surge from the ongoing Bitcoin price trajectory. Moreover, PlanB’s analysis extends to an even more astonishing forecast. The analyst believes that the Bitcoin price can surge to a high of $4.13 million in the 2028-2032 BTC Halving cycle.
