Bitcoin’s Future Potential: Analyst Predicts New Highs Despite Current Pressures
Even with Bitcoin prices facing pressure from sellers, Willy Woo, an on-chain analyst, believes the coin has the potential to reach new highs, particularly with the upcoming launch of new Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). In a recent post, Woo mentioned that Bitcoin could potentially reach $91,000 in a bear market scenario, but could soar as high as $650,000 in a bullish market environment.
Bitcoin’s Current Position
At its current spot rates, Bitcoin’s performance appears uncertain. Following its peak at over $73,000 in mid-March 2024, the coin has been experiencing downward pressure. Presently, the prices are fluctuating within a specific range, with a ceiling at $73,800 (the all-time high) and a floor at around $61,000.
- Bitcoin’s current range: between $61,000 and $73,800
- Uptrend continuation within the established range
- Market dynamics post the approval of Bitcoin ETFs in the US
As long as Bitcoin remains within this range, the overall uptrend is likely to persist. This assessment takes into consideration the market dynamics that have unfolded in the first quarter of 2024 following the approval of Bitcoin ETFs in the United States.
Potential Market Valuations
According to Fidelity’s recommendations, Bitcoin could potentially attract investments worth around $2 trillion, factoring in its market value and on-chain movements. With the current value of Bitcoin estimated at approximately $561 billion, the total investment could reach as high as $2.56 trillion in the market.
Woo’s analysis also includes the Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio, which suggests that Bitcoin could surge to a peak of $650,000 during a bullish cycle. The MVRV ratio compares the market capitalization of an asset to its on-chain investment.

On the flip side, Bitcoin could experience a downturn, potentially reaching a low of $91,000 in a scenario where the broader crypto market undergoes a significant correction. Typically, the MVRV ratio indicates values around 5X during bullish market peaks and 0.7X during bear market bottoms.
Long-Term Growth Potential
Woo draws parallels between Bitcoin and gold, suggesting that Bitcoin is poised for a prolonged bullish phase similar to gold’s historical trends. However, factors such as adoption rates and regulatory developments in Europe and Asia will play a critical role in shaping Bitcoin’s journey towards the projected price targets of $91,000 and $650,000.
