- 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.
As BTC’s price steadily increased, analysts have been making bullish predictions for the king coin.
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
If the ETF is approved that is, if declined we drop first pic.twitter.com/4HJ9f1FkcP
