Is $100k a Realistic Target for Bitcoin?
On the Mayer Multiple Band Chart, Bitcoin has been making consistent progress. It was in the oversold region in H2 2022 and managed to step into the bullish zone in Q1–Q2 2023. However, the lack of liquidity obstructed the asset’s path. At press time, it was back hovering in the bearish zone. Such back and forth has been common in the past, and on every occasion, Bitcoin has ended up rebounding and eventually testing the overbought and bullish extension region.

As far as the targets are concerned, Bitcoin will step out of the bearish zone as soon as it crosses $30,370. The bullish range extends from that level until $46,936. Likewise, the bullish extension region terminates around the asset’s current all-time high price, 69,000. The upper-cap overbought target for Bitcoin is currently around $124,243, a six-digit figure.

The Halving Factor
Standard Chartered Bank recently predicted that Bitcoin has the potential to surpass $120,000 by the end of 2024. The upcoming halving factor and miner profitability will play key roles in helping the asset ride the bullish wave. At the moment, there are only around 230 days left until the next halving event.
Bitcoin’s price has been adhering to a 4-year cyclic trend. Pre-halving markets have been characterized by downtrends while post-halving markets have seen significant rallies initiated by BTC. Right after the 2016 and 2020 halvings, the asset’s price went on to create new highs. That, however, did not happen overnight. It took months for Bitcoin to achieve.
A 6-digit valuation might seem quite far-fetched at the moment. However, such a target is not impossible to attain. In fact, reaching $100k is a question of ‘when’ and not ‘if.’ Thus, investors need to be patient and wait for the 2024–25 bull run to unfold.
