Plan B sticks to US$135k Bitcoin year-end price prediction after October rounding error – Stockhead

The original cryptocurrency is still hewing closely to one of its most famous price predictions raising hopes in hodlers hearts that theyre all gonna make it.

At 11am Sydney time (midnight UTC), Bitcoin closed out the month of October at US$61,300, up 29 per cent from the end of September.

The pseudonymous Plan B made a bold prediction in June, when BTC was changing hands for US$35,000, having crashed from $64,000.

The Dutch former institutional investor with decades of experience in financial markets said that his worst-case scenario for Bitcoin was Aug>47K, Sep>43K, Oct>63K, Nov>98K, Dec>135K.

He was right about August and September and Plan B tweeted that this morning his three per cent rounding error for October was close enough for me.

Plan B uses a stock to flow model to predict Bitcoin price. His thesis is that that the diminishing supply (or stock) of Bitcoin from the halving events every four years causes boom-and-bust cycles for the original cryptocurrency.

Smaller altcoins are popping this morning while blue-chip cryptos have taken a breather over the past 24 hours.

Solana has been the only token in the top 20 to move more than three per cent, rising 5.6 per cent to US$206.

SOL was very close to flipping Carano as the No. 5 crypto.

Meanwhile, Dogecoin had reclaimed the No. 9 spot from Shiba Inu, currently No. 10.

Bitcoin and Ethereum were both down around 1.5 per cent, to US$61,392 and US$4,302, respectively.

But No. 69 crypto Holochain (HOT) has soared 37.1 per cent, No. 89 Qtum is up 13 per cent, and No. 77 Spell has risen 12.7 per cent. Outside of the top 100, Zenon, Vulcan Forged, Alchemy Pay, Storj and DigitalBits had all soared by between 59 and 25 per cent.

Aussie-founded gaming token Illuvium was trading for over US$1,000 after hitting an all-time high of $1,040 yesterday.

Overall the crypto market was down 0.17 per cent to US$2.64 trillion.
