Lofty Predictions BTC Price Predictions
As reported by Coingape, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju recently expressed his bullish stance regarding Bitcoin price on X.
He went as far as predicting a 160% increase for the coin, stating that Bitcoin would reach $112,000 or a low of at least $55,000 this year. Young Ju’s sentiment is driven by the huge inflows that the spot Bitcoin ETF market has seen in the last one month. So far, the ecosystem has registered up to $9.5 billion in inflows, even amidst massive Grayscale outflows.
Similarly, renowned crypto analyst Stockmoney Lizards mentioned that Bitcoin may have found its new floor price at $40,000. He drew his declaration from certain patterns that he studied including the popular Bitcoin halving event. Lizards acknowledged that Bitcoin halving always preceded a bull run.
Based on historical trends, the next halving event is scheduled to happen in April, therefore, investors may want to look forward to the future outlook of Bitcoin after the halving event. The previous price fluctuation was said to be a pre-halving downside, which may now be over seeing that the coin is performing better than before.
Bitcoin is worth $49,501.47 at the time of writing, jumping by 3.15% in the past 24 hours. This valuation underscores how relevant the coin is in pursuit of new heights.
