Could Bitcoin Hit $155,000 by Year-End? Here’s What Analysts Are Saying

An analyst has outlined potential scenarios for Bitcoin's price, projecting it could close 2024 within the range of $108,000 to $155,000 if historical trends continue.

James Van Straten focuses on Bitcoin’s performance during previous market cycles, particularly looking at the recovery since the lows following the FTX collapse in late 2022.

He presented a chart demonstrating how Bitcoin’s current price movements closely resemble those from earlier cycles at similar stages. Van Straten emphasized that the consistency of price action from the cycle’s bottom is a strong indicator, suggesting the current trajectory could mirror the last two cycles.

He pointed out that both previous cycles experienced significant gains through September, leading to extended rallies that culminated in market peaks. This trend indicates that Bitcoin may be positioned for a substantial rise if it continues to reflect past behavior.

However, he also warned that while these historical patterns are insightful, they do not guarantee future outcomes. He concluded that if the economy avoids a recession, such price levels could be achievable.
