    Bitcoin’s 30-Day Growth Analyzed

    In the last 30 days, Bitcoin has grown by 25.9%. Many believe the cryptocurrency is far from reaching its peak. The analystโ€™s recent post suggests that Bitcoin could hit $80,000 within the next week, creating a buzz in the crypto community.

    Low Profit-Taking Signals Investor Confidence 

    Typically, investors sell when they think their assets have peaked. But if they choose to hold onto Bitcoin, it may signal more growth ahead. The Bitcoin Net Realized Profit/Loss chart shows that profit-taking is currently much lower than previous highs, suggesting there is still room for the market to rise.

    The analyst also points out that Bitcoinโ€™s current price is still far below its inflation-adjusted all-time high (ATH). This shows that the Bitcoin market has more potential to grow, even after the recent surge.

    Why the Bitcoin Consolidation Is Important

    Bitcoin has been in a consolidation phase for the last nine months, which has helped strengthen its foundation. Experts believe this period of stability has positioned Bitcoin for a strong bullish phase. As Bitcoin continues to stabilize, it may be preparing for a major upward movement.

    Bitcoin’s Historical Performance in 2024

    The year 2024 is the second year of the current four-year cycle. Typically, the second and fourth years in a cycle are when the BTC market shows weaker performance. In 2012, the performance of BTC was just +183.5%. In 2016, it declined further to +123.8%. In the first quarter of 2024, the market registered a return of +68.7%. In the second quarter, it slipped to -12%.

    However, in the third quarter, it slightly improved to +0.76%. In the first month of this fourth quarter, the market registered a return of +11.2%. Historically, Q4 has been a favorable period for BTC. In the previous Q4, the BTC market reported a return of +56.6%. On November 1, the Bitcoin price was $70,251.50. By November 4, it has fallen to a monthly low of $67,821.68. Since November 5, the market has surged by 12.78%. 

    In conclusion, with market momentum building, Van Stratenโ€™s projection suggests Bitcoin is poised for a significant leap, making $80,000 a realistic short-term target in line with this Bitcoin price prediction.
