Bitcoin (BTC) Price Could Hit $75,000 to $80,000 by Christmas, But $100,000 by End of 2024 Looks Improbable: Analyst
Oct 01, 2024 at 08:03 am
Bitcoin is currently trading above $63,000, but there is a possibility that the world's largest cryptocurrency could hit a price between $75,000
Bitcoin is currently trading above $63,000, but don’t expect the world’s largest cryptocurrency to hit a price of $100,000 before the end of 2024, according to one analyst.
However, bitcoin could hit a price between $75,000 to $80,000 by the winter holidays, the analyst added.
Bitcoin’s price is up nearly 60% so far in 2024, and some bullish forecasts have suggested the cryptocurrency might hit $100,000 to $150,000 by 2025.
But the likelihood of bitcoin reaching $100,000 by the end of 2024 looks improbable, according to Pav Hundal, the lead market analyst at the Australian crypto exchange Swyftx.
“The window to get to $100,000 by the end of the quarter looks very tight to me,” Hundal told Cointelegraph. “You would need everything to go right from this point on and you simply can’t be sure that is going to happen.”
“The central scenario after this break in market structure is for new all-time highs in the $75,000-80,000 range by Christmas,” Hundal explained.
Before Christmas, the U.S. crypto market is expected to face increased volatility due to market uncertainty and high-profile political events like the U.S. presidential elections.
While bitcoin’s value soaring to $100,000 may appear in the realm of possibility in the short-term, the macroeconomic factors are not indicative of such dramatic growth materializing in the near-term.
Global economic events, regulatory ambiguity, and investor sentiment will continue to temper price growth.
However, options traders are more optimistic about bitcoin’s upcoming price performance, with many expecting bitcoin to explode by up to 75% around the holidays.
“Options traders on the large exchanges at the moment are positioning for a $90,000 to $110,000 strike price contract on Christmas Eve,” Hundal said, adding that this range has been “consistent over the last six months.”
Hundal also commented on the upcoming U.S. elections, arguing that both candidates “sounded open-minded,” signaling that the sector was far from imperiled after both presidential candidates appeared to support cryptocurrencies.
