Relying on the past 15 years as a basis for forecasting for the coming years is not accurate, as the price of Bitcoin started at a very low price and rose and will not rise at the same level, but the patterns may be repeated, which happens every four years. If the pattern is repeated, we will see levels higher than $80,000 before the end of this year. And levels higher than 130 thousand dollars before the end of next year, and therefore it is an opportunity to double your money three times or at least twice, and therefore it is better to prepare for that instead of thinking that the price will reach very high levels, such as more than $200k.
That's what my though has been it would be better to start accumulating Bitcoin instead of focusing on how and when the value of Bitcoin would increase, though we have seen in the past Bitcoin will surely increase despite the hurdles. We should be more worried about the fact we have not accumulated much and work towards hodling more Bitcoin. But I believe ATH will be achieved next year based on last two bull seasons data as many are expecting bull run this year and we may see some dumps which we have to capitalize on to buy Bitcoin at lesser price.
Definitely, if we look his past history, there are patterns on prices, but it's hard to predict where and when and what will be the highest it will go through. And that's why there are early bag holders who tend to sell instead of holding as they thought that bitcoin will not go that far. But look at what happen to it, majority of them regret their decision to sell early. Nevertheless it's not that late for them and for the majority of us to buy and then HODL (specially for those who don't want to trade).
And in the incoming bull run, or right after the block halving, bigger prices are to be expected, again. Speculators are predicting a minimum $100K at least as our new all time high. But we will see, it could be +/-, however, if we have accumulate this past couple of years, we might be just sitting in the bull run and see how it unfolds and look how bigger our portfolio will grow.
