S2F Model Creator PlanB Believes Investor Might be Frontrunning Bitcoin Halving
PlanB, the creator of the Stock-2-Flow (S2F) model has shared a thought provoking question on his official Twitter account as he weighed in on the plausible reasons for the ongoing bullish momentum. The S2F model which he created can be applied to all investment assets but PlanB is particularly interested in Bitcoin (BTC) which he is optimistic is destined to soar beyond $100,000 in the near term.
PlanB on Plausible Investor Motivation
The renowned market analysts was curious to know whether or not ‘they’ which can mean investors or market bulls are “front running the halving.”

Frontrunning is a word in investing that depicts the deep motivation to buy an asset based on a knowledge one has that might fuel the valuation of such asset in the long run. Bitcoin’s halving which PlanB is referring to is a network event that takes place automatically every four years.
The next halving is not expected until April next year, a time when the rewards issued to miners of Bitcoin will be sliced by half from the current 6.25 BTC. The halving event has been known to be succeeded by a period of immense price growth and investors typically stack up on the digital currency on the grounds that its price will surge in the near future.
PlanB’s questions come on the heels of the ongoing recovery in the broader digital currency ecosystem which has pushed Bitcoin’s price to retest its key resistance level and currently changing hands at a spot price of $29,877.91, up by more than 11% over the past 24 hours. The resurgence in BTC has fueled a corresponding rally that is pushing altcoins to new pedestals.
Question for Smart Money Investors
There are different sentiments supporting the current Bitcoin price growth which has seen smart investors pump new funds into the premier digital currency. While investors are possibly all out for the crypto market following a wave of spot Bitcoin ETF filings sparked by BlackRock, the inherent potential of the forthcoming halving can also be a big boost to bet big on BTC at this time.
Bitcoin touched its All-Time High (ATH) months after its last halving back in May 2020. With expectations of similar growth ahead, we may see additional smart money inflows into the market in the weeks and months ahead.
