Bitcoin [BTC] has once again surprised the world by reaching a new all-time high on November 6, following the U.S. elections. This surge is believed to be partially influenced by Donald Trump's victory, known for his favorable stance towards cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin's New All-Time High
Bitcoin [BTC] recently set a new all-time high, reaching $76.4k on November 6, following the U.S. elections. This surge is attributed to Donald Trump's victory, known for his pro-crypto views.
A Repeat of 2020's Trend?
In 2020, a Bitcoin halving year coincided with the U.S. presidential elections. During that time, Bitcoin’s trend was bullish, and the market began to surge as soon as the election results were announced, reducing market uncertainty. A similar trend could potentially take place in the coming weeks. In the previous cycle, Bitcoin experienced a 319% gain in just over five months. If this trend were to repeat, Bitcoin could potentially reach $288k by the first week of April 2025. However, it is important to note that each cycle typically sees lesser gains over a longer period than the previous one, making long-term predictions challenging.
Using Past Trends to Predict the Future
In 2017, Bitcoin gained significant attention by rallying 600% in three months. However, most of those gains were retraced by 2019 before the next bull run began in 2020. Therefore, a bold prediction for Bitcoin’s price is that it will reach at least $225k this cycle, with an all-time high 10-15% higher. However, some renowned analysts, including Ki Young Ju, believe that prices beyond $100k would be difficult to achieve.
Bitcoin continues to remain at the forefront for both analysts and investors. Despite optimistic forecasts, uncertainty in the cryptocurrency markets persists.
