One analyst says there is “well-constructed” evidence, suggesting its next all-time high will top $200,000.

For many, BTC price action is still tied to bitcoin’s four-year half-cycle. The resulting price model provides one “all-time high year” in every four, with 2025 next in line.
It will be a year before bitcoin’s block grant is halved, and after that, Allen argues, the path will open for a whopping $200,000.
That price tag is created by analyzing Bitcoin’s stochastic oscillator, which synchronizes with the highs and lows of the cycle in BTC/USD. Currently, the indicator is printing its latest trough, and if history is a guide, price behavior will follow.
A stochastic oscillator is a volatility tool, which compares closing prices to historical averages.
Allen summarized alongside an illustrative chart, “Bitcoin’s well-designed structure with stochastic behavior suggests that the next ATH will be at 200K, the next bottom will be at 70K

The consensus believes that the range of BTC investment returns will decrease in percentage terms over time, with each cycle where long-term volatility will cool.

Bitcoin’s behavior in January marked a crucial turning point, he believes, pointing to various series matrices as evidence of recovery.
The latest includes the realized return, which tracks the total profit for the currency spent.
“The returns realized just positively pop! Retailers are now taking profits (green) instead of cutting losses (blue).. big difference,” PlanB noted in the chart.
PlanB added this week that bitcoin’s next short-term target could be $32,000, also based on realized price data.
