Roughly five years from now, aka 2030, Bitcoin’s price will see an explosion to the upside, with an all-time high of $774,474 in the aforementioned year. In the same period, BTC could reach a low of $465,154.42. Based on CoinGape predictions, the average price of BTC in 2050 is between $2.9 million and $3.3 million.

Investors should note that these long-term predictions can change and, hence, should be taken with a grain of salt.

Bitcoin Technical Analysis: Breaching This Key Level Could Knock BTC to $90K

Since forming a local top on November 11 at $89,657, Bitcoin’s move to $100,000 and beyond has been in a rangebound movement. Using the volume profile indicator shows three key levels: 

  1. Value Area High/Low (VAH/L) at $99,690 and $90,924, respectively.
  2. Point of Control (POC) at $98,000.

So far Bitcoin has bounced from the VAH at $99,690, but how far this recovery goes is the question investors need to be asking. A lack of buying pressure that leads to a breakdown of the $99,690 with high volume spike will signal the start of a bearish outlook. In such a case, Bitcoin price could revisit $90,924 after the POC at $98,000 is breached.

Hence, the chances of BTC revisiting $90K is present, but not confirmed until the $99,690 barrier is breached. With the weekend approaching this outlook seems plausible.

On the other hand, if Bitcoin bounces off the $99,690 and sets up a higher high above the current ATH of $104,698, it would signal the continuation of the uptrend. In such a case, investors can expect a higher low to propel BTC to the next target of $111,850.
