Start for freeWelcome back to Plan B on YouTube, where today's discussion revolves around the intriguing future of Bitcoin markets. We delve into seven pivotal charts that shed light on Bitcoin's trajectory, including the Bitcoin Stock-to-Flow model, market cycle model, Relative Strength Index (RSI), 200-week moving average, realized price, realized return, and the percentage of Bitcoin in profit. Each of these metrics offers a unique perspective on Bitcoin's current stance and its road ahead, particularly as we edge closer to 2024 and beyond. Let's unpack these indicators to forecast the potential highs and lows of this digital currency.
Bitcoin Stock-to-Flow Model
The Stock-to-Flow (S2F) model is a popular metric used to predict Bitcoin's future price based on its scarcity. Recently, Bitcoin closed the month slightly above $60,000, a $10,000 decrease from the previous month, effectively erasing the gains. Despite this dip, Bitcoin has shown a commendable 36% increase year to date. As we approach the halving month, marked by the last blue dot in the S2F model, expectations rise for the next cycle. Historically, each halving leads to an increase in Bitcoin's price, aligning with the model's predictions. Presently, the average price lingers around $34,000, slightly below the $55,000 predicted by the original model in 2019. However, it remains within a similar order of magnitude, reflecting the model's reliability over cycles. The updated S2F model anticipates an average price target of around $500,000 for the 2024-2028 period, suggesting significant growth post-halving.
Market Cycle and Technical Indicators
The Bitcoin Market Cycle
Market cycles are critical in understanding Bitcoin's bull and bear phases. Despite recent price dips, on-chain transaction data, which this market cycle indicator relies on, suggests we are still in a bull market. Historical patterns indicate that dips are normal, even in bull markets, emphasizing the importance of models in overcoming emotional investment decisions.
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
The RSI is a momentum oscillator used to gauge the speed and change of price movements. Recently, Bitcoin's RSI normalized to 66, falling from a high of 77. This normalization places it in line with levels observed during past halvings, suggesting that the market has not yet peaked. As we move forward, the expectation is for the RSI to climb above 80, indicating strong price increases typical of a bull market.
200-Week Moving Average
The 200-week moving average, a conservative floor for Bitcoin's price, has seen a slight increase, currently standing at $34,000. This indicator serves as a robust support level during bear markets and is surpassed significantly during bull markets.
Realized Price and Return
Bitcoin's Realized Price
The realized price, representing the cost price of all Bitcoins adjusted for their last transacted price, now sits at $29,000. This metric, along with the two-year realized price and the short-term holder realized price, acts as a significant support level during bull markets, often where price dips find a bounce back.
Realized Return
April saw a positive realized return of 7%, indicating that sellers were taking profits. This profit-taking is a logical step in a bull market, especially for those new to Bitcoin, testing the waters of their investment's real-world gains.
Bitcoin in Profit
Currently, not all Bitcoin holders are in profit, with a 12% loss ratio due to the recent price dip. However, historical patterns suggest that these periods are often followed by significant bull runs, indicating potential for recovery and growth.
In conclusion, despite the recent volatility and price adjustments, Bitcoin's fundamental indicators and models point towards a promising future. As we navigate through these market cycles, understanding and analyzing these charts becomes crucial in predicting Bitcoin's trajectory. As the next halving approaches, all eyes will be on these indicators to gauge the next peak of this digital currency.
