Will Bitcoin rise?
Irrespective of the bearish sentiment across the market, many analysts have stood firm in their projection over bitcoin’s trajectory.
PlanB, the creator of the popular stock-to-flow Bitcoin model put forward his bullish take and even supported his arguments using his price analysis model. “$288K still in play,” he stated in a recent tweet.
He further added,
“It would really surprise me if bitcoin would not touch the black S2FX model line this phase. Regardless of current volatility, yellow-green and blue dots will be (much) higher than red-orange dots.”

“Bitcoin $100,000 has bullish Ace up its sleeve: Declining Supply — This year follows a cut in Bitcoin supply, making the price more likely to appreciate if past patterns hold.”
