Bitcoin Entering Historically Bullish Phase says PlanB
Quant analyst PlanB highlights that Bitcoin is entering a phase historically linked to rallies. He updates on his stock-to-flow (S2F) model, which predicts asset performance based on scarcity.
Strong Bull Runs After Halving Events
Historically, the S2F model signals strong bull runs after halving events, marked by the printing of a red dot. He notes that the first month post-halving marks the start of a new cycle, expecting Bitcoin to surge similarly to previous cycles in 2020, 2017, and 2012-2013.
Realized Price Metric as Support
Additionally, PlanB examines the realized price metric, which calculates the value of all coins at their last on-chain transaction price, divided by the total BTC in circulation. Historically, the five-month realized price level acts as strong support during bull market dips, as seen in 2020 and 2017.
Current Price Movement
Currently, Bitcoin trades at $68,971, up over 1% in the past day. PlanB anticipates that the support of the five-month realized price level will hold, noting a recent bounce in May when Bitcoin dipped slightly below this level.
