Bitcoin Price Prediction Q4 2024: New ATH Ahead?

Published by

As we enter October, the Bitcoin market is preparing for what is usually a strong fourth quarter. Historically, Q4 has been favorable for Bitcoin, with the cryptocurrency achieving an impressive return of +56.65% in Q4 2024 alone. Since 2011, Bitcoin has posted positive returns in this quarter at least eight times. If this trend continues, we could be in for an exceptionally bullish period ahead. Earlier this year, Bitcoin soared to a new all-time high of $73,000 in mid-March, contributing to a remarkable +68.7% return in the first quarter. 

Despite facing challenges in Q2 (-12% return) and Q3 (+0.76% return), the question remains: will Bitcoin hit a new all-time high this quarter

Here are the key factors, as highlighted in the latest CMC Analysis Report, that could influence Bitcoin’s path.

Why Macroeconomic Conditions Will Matter

A strong macroeconomic environment is essential for Bitcoin’s success this quarter. Key indicators, such as unemployment rates and inflation data, play a significant role in market dynamics. Recently, when the US Federal Reserve announced an interest rate cut, the market reacted positively, rising sharply. In contrast, the escalating Israel-Iran conflict caused a decline in Bitcoin’s value, demonstrating how quickly external factors can impact the market.

Currently, the US economy is facing one of its most challenging times. If the economy can avoid a recession, the chances of Bitcoin reaching a new all-time high this quarter will remain high.


Regulatory Changes Are Coming – Are You Ready?

With the presidential election approaching, many expect a shift in the US government’s approach to the cryptocurrency sector. Both major political parties are recognizing the importance of crypto, as it has become a significant topic during the election campaign. If the incoming administration aims to clarify the regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies, it could provide a substantial boost to the sector. Conversely, a negative stance toward crypto could worsen existing challenges.

The CMC report points to a growing trend of institutional investor interest in Bitcoin. If this trend continues, we can expect more capital flowing into the market, which typically leads to a sharp rise in prices. Additionally, the inflow of funds into Bitcoin ETFs will be a crucial factor to watch.

Bitcoin Market Analysis

At the start of Q4 2024, Bitcoin was priced at $63,339.95, but it quickly dropped to a low of $60,805 as tensions in the Israel-Iran crisis escalated. On September 2, the price fell further to $60,658. However, there are signs of recovery; yesterday, Bitcoin rose slightly to $60,776. Currently, Bitcoin is priced at $61,304, showing a 6.3% decline over the past week but a 1.0% increase in the last 24 hours.

In conclusion, if the factors discussed in the report play out positively, we could see Bitcoin reaching new all-time highs in Q4 2024.
