PlanB issues epic year-end Bitcoin (BTC) price prediction
In a recent X post, renowned crypto analyst PlanB has issued a year-end prediction for Bitcoin's price. The analyst's Bitcoin scenario spans five years, from 2024 to 2028. The post reads: "My best guess Bitcoin scenario 2024-2028: 2024 (EOY): $0.15 million, 2025: $0.8 million, 2026: $0.4 million, 2027: $0.3 million, 2028: $0.4 million." PlanB used the S2F model to compare Bitcoin’s trend with previous cycles, highlighting that it perfectly aligns with the S2F^3 power law model. He admits that this forecast for the Bitcoin price seems unlikely but claims that "800K would be in line with the best fitting, highest R2, historical data model." Several factors will determine whether PlanB's positive price prediction for Bitcoin comes true, including investor sentiment surrounding BTC and increased adoption from institutional players through spot Bitcoin ETF products.
