Weekly Elliott Wave Bitcoin Analysis as of 23.12.2024

The BTCUSD continues to form a global impulse (1)-(2)-(3)-(4)-(5). The first four parts of this pattern must have been completed. Correction (4) is a double zigzag W-X-Y. The ascending wave (5) is unfolding as an impulse [1]-[2]-[3]-[4]-[5] on the last segment of the price chart. A complex correction [4] has recently finished as a double zigzag. Therefore, the second part of a final bullish impulse wave is underway.

Minor sub-waves (1) and (2), as well as the impulse sub-wave (3), have concluded. This week, the price may decline in correction 4, ending near 91965.00, the previous low marked by the sub-wave A. The trend may reverse at this mark, and sub-wave (5) may start forming.

BTC Price Forecast for 2024–2025 Based on Technical Analysis

The Bitcoin exchange rate is subject to significant fluctuations due to a number of fundamental factors. The rate may experience both rapid growth and a sudden decline as a result of profit-taking by major market participants.

This technical analysis of the BTC rate for 2024–2025 reveals a lot of valuable insights.

The weekly chart shows a breakout of the resistance area of $67,000–$73,000. Earlier, the price was trading below this area within a “Triangle” pattern that has been forming since the beginning of 2024. The breakout signals the start of a new uptrend confirmed by strong upward momentum.

The 9-day EMA and SMA (exponential and simple moving averages) are well below the current price. This suggests that the upward trend is underway and confirms the current momentum. The EMA and SMA values are in the range of $75,815–$72,856, offering strong support levels if the price starts a correction.

The RSI is at 72, showing that the market is overheated. At the same time, it may also indicate that the upward momentum will persist, given that fundamental factors are favorable. The Stochastic RSI (SRSI) with K and D lines at 99.37 and 97.5, respectively, also shows that the market is highly overheated, signaling a potential correction in the coming weeks. Nevertheless, the current momentum is quite strong, which is confirmed by the MACD‘s positive histogram. The MACD line at 5961 is above the signal line at 3285.

Bollinger Bands (BB) are expanding, confirming increased volatility. The upper band is at the $84,942 level. The current price is above this mark, indicating that the asset is overheated. The ATR (Average True Range) is at 6777, pointing to heightened volatility.

Therefore, Bitcoin may exhibit significant price swings in the coming months, with the potential for a correction to the EMA/SMA levels. After that, a bullish impulse cannot be ruled out. Overall, the uptrend remains in place. If the price breaches the $89,000 level, growth will continue.

BTC Price History

Bitcoin (BTC) reached its all-time high of $108244.63 on 2024-12-17.

The lowest price of Bitcoin (BTC) was recorded on 2012-02-18 when the coin declined to $4.2.

Below is the chart of the BTCUSD pair. It is crucial to evaluate historical data to make our forecasts as accurate as possible.

Bitcoin is a decentralized cryptocurrency, and its protocol was launched on January 3, 2009. Nevertheless, for an extended period, the coin was not widely regarded as a viable means of payment.

The first Bitcoin halving occurred in 2012 and had a relatively limited impact on the exchange rate. In 2013, the value of BTC surpassed $22, marking a pivotal point in its meteoric rise in popularity.

The value of Bitcoin suffered significantly in 2014 due to the closure of the largest crypto exchange at the time, Mt. Gox. Furthermore, numerous prominent investors began to voice criticism of digital currencies, including Warren Buffett, who labeled BTC a “mirage” and a “bubble.” However, eight years later, the situation began to change.

2017 was a pivotal year in Bitcoin’s history:

• In April, the Japanese government enacted regulations that permit the use of cryptocurrencies for transactions.
• In August, a Bitcoin fork, Bitcoin Cash, was established.
• In December, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange officially launched Bitcoin futures. These developments contributed to a notable increase in the exchange rate, which reached $20,600 by December.

In 2018, the first crypto winter began. The cryptocurrency market saw a notable decline. In response to concerns about market stability, regulators took action to restrict the activities of crypto exchanges and prohibit initial coin offerings (ICOs). Against these crackdowns, the value of Bitcoin (BTC) plunged below $3,700.

In 2020, the third halving of Bitcoin occurred on May 11, which resulted in a modest uptick in the asset’s quotes. In August, MicroStrategy made a significant investment in BTC. In December, Ripple’s controversial proceedings against the SEC had an overall negative impact on the market. The DeFi sector boomed by the end of the year. However, the market saw a significant decline due to the pandemic.

In 2021, BTC benefited from three significant developments. 

• Tesla announced a $1.5 billion investment in Bitcoin, which boosted the BTC exchange rate.
• In September, El Salvador adopted Bitcoin as an official means of payment.
• On November 10, the price of BTC reached a record high of $68,789, and the crypto market capitalization exceeded $3 trillion for the first time.

The year 2022 brought a new crypto winter. The BTC rate fell to $15,000 for a number of reasons, including the Terra blockchain crash, Tesla selling 75% of its BTCs, and the bankruptcy of crypto exchange FTX. Moreover, the SEC continued to crack down on cryptocurrencies.

In 2023, the crypto market started to recover. The crypto market cap more than doubled from $830 billion to $1.735 trillion. Bitcoin also managed to recover thanks to factors such as the bankruptcy of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and the partial resolution of Ripple’s litigation against the SEC.

The year 2024 has been a landmark one for Bitcoin, with significant developments and milestones:

• The coin surpassed the $80,000 mark due to the approval of several bitcoin-ETFs in the US, which attracted institutional investment and increased liquidity.
• The increased interest in Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation was also an important factor as global economies faced turbulence and rising inflation.
• Large companies such as Tesla returned to buying Bitcoin, which bolstered confidence in the cryptocurrency.
• After Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election, Bitcoin’s exchange rate exceeded $93,000, reaching an all-time high. Such impressive growth is due to the Republican’s promises to support the American crypto industry and mining companies.

Bitcoin has demonstrated both meteoric rises and dramatic declines throughout its history. Nevertheless, the ongoing developments continue to support its position in the market.

BTC Rate Fundamental Analysis

Bitcoin is the world’s leading cryptocurrency, exerting a significant influence on the digital asset market. A fundamental analysis of BTC provides insight into the key factors that determine its price and attractiveness among investors.

What Factors Affect the BTC Price?

1. Supply and demand.

The limited number of coins (21 million BTC) and halvings that reduce the reward for BTC mining lead to a lower supply. Demand for BTC is driven by interest among investors and various institutional investors.

2. Macroeconomic factors.

Economic conditions in developed countries, inflation rates, and central bank monetary policies can influence the price of Bitcoin. Many investors view BTC as a hedge against inflation, especially during periods of economic instability. However, this strategy comes with high risks.

3. Regulatory changes.

The value of Bitcoin is significantly influenced by the regulatory environment surrounding cryptocurrencies. The adoption or prohibition of cryptocurrencies in various countries can lead to fluctuations in the exchange rate.

4. Technological development.

Updates to blockchain technology and improvements to network infrastructure are key factors. For instance, the deployment of scaling technologies, such as the Lightning Network, has the potential to drive greater adoption of Bitcoin, which could boost its exchange rate.

5. Institutional investment.

The interest of major firms and institutional investors is a significant factor influencing the price of Bitcoin. Investments from companies such as Tesla and MicroStrategy increase confidence in BTC and attract new investors to the market.

6. Security issues.

Any news about cyberattacks on cryptocurrency platforms or blockchain vulnerabilities can push the price of BTC lower. Investors value Bitcoin’s resilience to hacking attacks and its decentralized nature.

7. Social media sentiment.

Social media sentiment, influencer mentions, and news events can rapidly shift investor perceptions and impact the BTC price. For instance, Elon Musk’s statements have frequently triggered significant crypto market shifts.

More Facts About BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first decentralized cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by an individual or group of people operating under the alias Satoshi Nakamoto. It employs blockchain technology, which enables transparent and secure record-keeping of transactions. The increase in the value of Bitcoin is linked to its limited issuance. The maximum supply of BTC is 21 million coins. The gradual decrease in the reward for mining, known as halving, also contributes to a decrease in supply, which increases scarcity and stimulates price growth.

Traders choose Bitcoin due to its significant volatility, allowing them to generate profits on price swings. In addition, BTC acts as an alternative to traditional assets during economic downturns. Its accessibility, high liquidity, and the ability to store on cold wallets attract both institutional investors and retail traders.

Bitcoin has become a symbol of freedom from the traditional banking system, appealing to users who value financial independence and decentralization.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Investing in BTC

Advantages:

1. High growth potential. Since its inception, Bitcoin has demonstrated remarkable growth.
2. Decentralization and independence. Bitcoin is a decentralized currency, which means that it is not controlled by the government or financial institutions. This makes it an attractive option for investors seeking independence from traditional banking systems.
3. High liquidity. Bitcoin is one of the most liquid crypto assets, meaning it can be quickly and easily exchanged for fiat currencies or other cryptocurrencies without significant loss in value.
4. Transparency and security. Blockchain technology, the backbone of Bitcoin, offers a high level of transparency and security, reducing fraud risks and attracting new investors.

Disadvantages:

1. High volatility. The price of Bitcoin is subject to significant fluctuations, which can result in substantial gains or substantial losses. For those seeking a conservative investment option, Bitcoin is not a suitable choice.
2. Regulatory risks. Cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, must comply with the standards set forth by financial regulators. The introduction of new legislation or restrictions by governments in different countries may affect the price and availability of the asset.
3. Limited adoption. Despite the growing popularity of Bitcoin, it has yet to gain global acceptance as a means of payment. The majority of companies do not accept BTC, which limits its potential economic value.
4. Technological risks. The security of Bitcoin depends on the stability of the blockchain. While the technology is highly secure, investors could suffer significant losses in the event of a cyberattack or vulnerability in the technology.
5. Energy consumption. Bitcoin mining requires exorbitant electricity consumption, which has led to criticism from environmentalists and could potentially affect public perception of the cryptocurrency. Against this backdrop, the value of BTC may decline.
