Will Bitcoin touch $100,000 in 2024? PlanB’s price prediction says…

• Bitcoin was up by more than 3% in the last seven days. 
• If BTC starts a bull rally, it might face resistance near the $45,000 mark. 

As Bitcoin’s [BTC] price iced near the $44,000 mark, investors’ expectations of the king coin rose. In fact, if the latest data is to be believed, BTC might touch a new high in 2024.

Considering the hype around Bitcoin ETFs, the possibility of BTC reaching new highs seems likely.

2024 might be a year worth remembering

Bitcoin’s price action remained bullish last week, as it was just about to cross the $44,000 mark. According to CoinMarketCap, BTC was up by over 3% last week.

At press time, the king of cryptos was trading at $43,912.86 with a market capitalization of over $860 billion.

While BTC’s price steadily increased, Bitcoin News recently posted a tweet suggesting that the coin’s price might skyrocket.

Notably, an analyst who created the Stock-to-Flow (S2F) model predicted that Bitcoin might surpass $100,000 in 2024 before reaching a price of $532,000 in 2025.

In 2015, when I bought my first btc at $400, people said bitcoin was dead.

In 2019, when btc was $4000, I wrote the S2F article, calling for $55k btc. People said I was crazy.

Today, btc is $40k, and S2F model predicts $532k after 2024 halving. People say it is impossible.

The prediction was made at a time when Bitcoin ETFs were a hot topic of discussion in the market. If ETFs get approved, investors might expect BTC’s price to reach new highs.

In fact, Crypto Tony, a popular crypto analyst, also shared that he also anticipated BTC reaching $50,000 if ETFs get approved.

ETF anticipation plan. I remain in my long while we hold above $41,000 right now. My plan would be to take profit at the $47,000 – $50,000 region, and anticipate a sell off over the coming weeks

Anything for investors in the short term?

If Bitcoin manages to initiate a bull rally in the coming days, it might face a few resistance zones. AMBCrypto then checked Bitcoin’s liquidation heatmap to find out those troublesome zones.

Our analysis revealed that BTC’s liquidation increased last time when its price reached the $45,000 mark. Therefore, it must go above that level to maintain its bull rally.
