Bitcoin is trading near $67,300, well off its recent high of $74,000. One well-known analyst says that dip barely matters \u2014 he’s looking at a cycle average closer to half a million dollars.<\/p>\n

A Model Built On Scarcity<\/h2>\n

PlanB, the pseudonymous analyst behind the Stock-to-Flow model, says Bitcoin’s price during the current 2024\u20132028 halving cycle could average around $500,000<\/a>, with a range stretching from $250,000 to $1 million.<\/p>\n

The model is built on a simple premise: as Bitcoin’s supply grows more slowly \u2014 thanks to halving events that cut mining rewards roughly every four years \u2014 and demand holds steady or rises, the price should follow.<\/p>\n

Reports indicate that PlanB is careful to frame the figure as a cycle average, not a ceiling or a guaranteed peak.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin halvings<\/a> reduce the number of new coins entering circulation. The most recent one took place in April 2024. Historically, each halving has been followed by a significant price run. That pattern is the backbone of PlanB’s argument.<\/p>\n

Not Everyone Is Buying It<\/h2>\n

Crypto analyst Bobby A puts his estimate at $200,000 to $250,000 by 2026 or 2027 \u2014 still a major jump from current levels, but nowhere near PlanB’s midpoint.<\/p>\n

According to Bobby A, Stock-to-Flow works as a rough long-term guide but falls short when used to pin down specific price targets in complex markets.<\/p>\n

He argues the model captures Bitcoin’s broad growth story without accounting for the many variables that move prices in real time.<\/p>\n

\n

My take is somewhere in the middle. In my opinion, Bitcoin is currently undervalued and will likely trade toward the $200,000 to $250,000 range as this cycle matures through 2026 and into 2027. That said, I do not subscribe to the idea that Bitcoin will reach $500,000 by 2028.\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/d8wu0skKuN<\/a><\/p>\n

That skepticism is not without basis. Stock-to-Flow drew sharp criticism after Bitcoin<\/a> failed to sustain the price levels the model projected during the 2020\u20132024 cycle.<\/p>\n

Some analysts wrote off the model entirely. Others say it was never meant to work as a precise forecasting tool to begin with \u2014 a nuance that often gets lost in headline-driven coverage.<\/p>\n

What’s Weighing On Bitcoin Now<\/p>\n

Several outside pressures have contributed to Bitcoin’s recent pullback. Geopolitical tensions<\/a> and shifting inflows into spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds \u2014 which won US regulatory approval in early 2024 \u2014 have added to short-term volatility.<\/p>\n

Data shows that ETF<\/a> inflows, which helped push Bitcoin to record highs earlier this year, have been inconsistent in recent months.<\/p>\n

Reports note that many analysts view the current period as a consolidation phase following the strong rally that carried Bitcoin above $72,000. Whether that consolidation leads to a renewed push higher \u2014 or signals a longer plateau \u2014 remains an open question.<\/p>\n

PlanB’s $500,000 average would require Bitcoin to climb more than seven times its current price before the cycle ends. That’s a large number. But in a market that went from under $20,000 to over $73,000 in roughly 18 months, some investors say stranger things have happened.<\/p>\n
