Bitcoin

<div class="finbold">
 <p class="paragraph">Bitcoin (BTC) began May with a significant sell-off after losing crucial support at $60,000 and falling as low as $56,000 leaving many market participants anticipating further declines.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">This plunge comes as the crypto market remains on the edge, with uncertainty lingering about the potential onset of the historical post-halving rally.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">In light of these developments, crypto analyst <em>Plan B</em> shared insights into Bitcoin’s price outlook for the remainder of the month in a YouTube video posted on May 1.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">Firstly, the expert delved into the Bitcoin stock-to-flow model, highlighting that Bitcoin closed slightly above $60,000 the previous month. While this marked a $10,000 drop from March, Bitcoin still maintained a 36% year-to-date increase.</p>
 <p class="paragraph"><em>Plan B</em> emphasized the historical accuracy of the stock-to-flow model in predicting Bitcoin’s price. He pointed out that May 2024 marks the final month before the next halving event. Historically, each halving has coincided with a gray stock-to-flow model price, underscoring the predictive power of this model.</p>

 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-bitcoin-price-targets">Bitcoin price targets</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">Regarding specific price points, the expert pointed out that while the current average Bitcoin price hovers around $34,000, it closely aligns with the ballpark figure of $55,000 predicted by the original 2019 model.</p>
 <blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
  <p class="paragraph">“The average <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="price" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/price.html">price</a> is something that we can calculate at the moment. It’s $34,000, and that’s a little below the $55,000 that the 2019 original stock-to-flow model predicted, but it’s in the ballpark. It’s the same order of magnitude, and don’t forget in 2019, the Bitcoin <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="price" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/price.html">price</a> was below $4,000. The average Bitcoin <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="price" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/price.html">price</a> was above the stock-to-flow model <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="price" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/price.html">price</a> in the cycle before the last cycle, the 2016-2020 cycle,” he said.&nbsp;</p>
 </blockquote>
 <p class="paragraph">Despite some fluctuations, <em>Plan B</em> updated the model’s parameters, maintaining an average target <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="price" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/price.html">price</a> of around $500,000 between 2024 and 2028. He highlighted the importance of the halving event in driving up the model value, anticipating a gradual increase in Bitcoin’s <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="price" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/price.html">price</a> over the coming months.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Looking ahead to the second half of 2024, the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="expert" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/expert.html">expert</a> expressed confidence in Bitcoin reaching $100,000, driven by the need for mining revenue to recover following the halving event. He based this prediction on historical trends, noting that mining revenue typically recovers within four to eight months post-halving.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">The trading expert also expects the market peak to occur in 2025, with Bitcoin’s price potentially surpassing $200,000.</p>
 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-technical-indicators-prediction">Technical indicators’ prediction</h2>
 <p class="paragraph"><em>Plan B</em> also analyzed technical indicators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the 200-week moving average (MA). He noted that the RSI has normalized to around 66 after reaching a high of 77. This normalization suggests that Bitcoin’s <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="price" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/price.html">price</a> is stabilizing within the context of previous market cycles.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">He mentioned that the 200-week moving average has increased slightly to $34,000. The analyst described this value as a conservative floor for Bitcoin’s <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="price" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/price.html">price</a> during bull markets, indicating that Bitcoin <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="price" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/price.html">price</a>s typically rise well above this level during such periods.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Notably, Bitcoin’s current losses came after the halving event, while interest in exchange-traded fund (ETF) flows was exhausted. This has left Bitcoin investors focusing on the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy amid stubborn inflationary figures. At the moment, the Fed has left interest rates unchanged.</p>
 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-bitcoin-price-analysis">Bitcoin price analysis</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">By press time, Bitcoin was trading at $57,779, having registered weekly losses of almost 10%.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">As things stand, Bitcoin must now maintain its price above the $55,000 mark, as a drop below this level could validate sustained bearish sentiment.</p>
