Despite reaching an all-time high of $73,750 in March, Bitcoin’s price has stagnated, trading as low as $54,000 in recent months and currently hovering around $64,000. Many analysts believe it will remain stagnant for the rest of the year. However, I predict that Bitcoin will surge to $100,000 by the end of 2024, followed by a remarkable rally in 2025.
Three key factors will drive this growth. Firstly, the spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) market is regaining momentum, with investors pouring money into new ETFs. This could replicate the price surge seen in the first quarter of the year. Secondly, the 2024 presidential election could have a positive impact on Bitcoin’s price, regardless of the winner. Both candidates have shown pro-crypto sentiments, which could boost investor confidence. Finally, the Bitcoin halving in April, which reduced the reward for mining new bitcoins, could have a delayed but significant impact on the price, similar to the 270% surge seen in 2020.
Bitcoin’s recent lackluster performance can be attributed to its growing correlation with the broader market. However, this correlation needs to decouple for Bitcoin to attract more investors seeking high upside potential. The upcoming election and the residual impact of the halving could be the catalysts for this decoupling.
While there are risks involved, investment firms like Bernstein, VanEck, and personal finance guru Robert Kiyosaki predict that Bitcoin could reach $200,000, $350,000, and even $500,000, respectively, by the end of 2025. If you believe in Bitcoin’s long-term investment thesis, now might be a unique opportunity to buy while it’s still undervalued.
