It will reach $40,000 for sure and will also follow a quick drop off to $32k which will act as support this time, instead of any resistance, so, in short, yes, Bitcoin is going to hold the Target prices and soon it will be breaking the previous All-Time High, right after Bitcoin Halving in 2024. If you have money available, you should focus on buying Bitcoin and HODLing as these prices will never be available again in the future.
If it's buying Bitcoin and Hodling it for as long as possible, I don't think anyone could naturally regret that and it's obvious.
But saying Bitcoin would hit $40,000 for sure this year is just what I see as possible but will not happen. The ETF saga has rekindled hope about its bull run of recent, yet, as much as people are lousy about it, I see the limit at the
Fibo level of 38.2% at $35,865. The market successfully hit the level and has been respecting it as expected and this is what would slip it into a major correction for it had moved up about $10,000 within a month, there is a need for such a retracement.
This is what it would do between now and December, and before you know it, the year is gone and my instinct of
$35,000-$37,000 barrier for the year would then prevail. Aside from this, there is still much resistance ahead of $40,000, so Bitcoin can't possibly hit it technically and the events that are emboldening such expectations are only assumptions not actual outcomes.
