PlanB expects Bitcoin value to double in 2025
PlanB dismisses Bitcoin peak fears, predicts $160K target by end of 2025.
Amid growing speculation that Bitcoin may have reached its peak for this cycle, prominent crypto analyst PlanB is pushing back against the idea that the market is transitioning into bearish territory.
Drawing on long-term trend indicators and historical price patterns, PlanB argues that the world’s leading cryptocurrency remains in the midst of a sustainable uptrend — one that could see its price double again by 2025.
Moving Averages Signal Continued Uptrend
In a recent post on X, PlanB cited Bitcoin’s 200-week arithmetic and geometric moving averages — commonly used to identify major market phases — as evidence that the asset has yet to experience a true bull run, let alone a bear market. According to the analyst, the two averages have moved closely together for more than a year, signaling reduced volatility and a steady upward trend rather than the sharp divergence typical of a market peak.
PlanB contends that genuine bear markets typically follow periods of intense price acceleration, which have not materialized in this cycle. Instead, Bitcoin’s performance over the past two years has shown a consistent and measured doubling: from roughly $20,000 in 2022 to $40,000 in 2023, and recently reaching the $80,000 range in early 2024. If that pattern continues, he predicts Bitcoin could hit $160,000 by the end of 2025.
Long-Term Outlook Remains Bullish
Such a scenario would challenge the long-standing four-year cycle theory that has shaped market expectations since Bitcoin’s inception. PlanB suggests that a shift toward more gradual, sustained growth may be more appropriate for a maturing asset that has increasingly drawn institutional interest.
While some investors remain cautious amid recent price rejections — with Bitcoin currently trading at $84,000 after failing to break above $86,500 — PlanB’s projections offer a bullish counter-narrative. The immediate challenge, however, is to maintain upward momentum and break through the current resistance zone between $80,000 and $90,000.
