Bitcoin is in a bull market and anyone who understands the cryptocurrency’s potential knows that much higher prices are ahead<\/a> in the short- and long-term. But how high would prices actually reach if the cryptocurrency’s price action mimicked the epic 2017 rally, tick for tick?<\/p>\n An analyst at Ark Invest has come up with a hypothetical chart that demonstrates what could come if a similar trajectory is followed. And according to the chart, the Bitcoin price would top out at roughly $390,000 at the height of the current cycle.<\/p>\n When Bitcoin begins to trend \u2013 regardless of direction \u2013 it trends hard<\/a>. But while downtrends start sharply and end in a similar manner, bull markets often have sustained momentum that propels the asset to significantly higher prices each market cycle.<\/p>\n Where the cryptocurrency is in its current market cycle is up for debate, but thanks to the asset’s hard-coded block reward “halving”<\/a> the cycle can be predicted with some accuracy.<\/p>\n Related Reading | GMI Model Estimates Bitcoin Fair Value At $300K By October 2021<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Where Bitcoin is now could be somewhere before what the creator of the popular stock-to-flow model says is the “point of no return.” At this point in 2017, the top cryptocurrency jumped from around $1,000 to $20,000 and made it a household name.<\/p>\n This time, according to a chart shared by<\/a> Ark Invest analyst Yassine Elmandrja, if the same path is followed, Bitcoin could hypothetically reach $390,000 per BTC before peaking.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What isn’t pointed out, however, that if the same path is being followed<\/a> and according to the chart Bitcoin is somewhere around May 2017, there’s only a few months left of the current bull run.<\/p>\n This also means is that analysts are expecting Bitcoin price to rise by over ten times within the next few months as investors scramble to buy up whatever supply remains.<\/p>\n Related Reading | Sats Stats: Bitcoin Grows 37x In Four Years From Today<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Bitcoin did roughly a 10x from Black Thursday through now, but is it capable of another 10x from here?
