Bitcoin price to hit all-time high if it stays above $45k: CEO

As a seasoned researcher with over two decades of experience in the financial markets, I find Ki Young Ju’s analysis both insightful and cautious. Having closely observed the crypto market’s volatility since its inception, I understand that predictions can sometimes be as unpredictable as the market itself.


As per the statements by CryptoQuant’s CEO, Ki Young Ju, if the value of Bitcoin remains over $45,000, there is a possibility that it may reach a new record high in less than a year.

After a stormy weekend, Bitcoin (BTC) bounced back, and there’s still a sense of hope in the cryptocurrency market, even as some financial markets show signs of pessimism.

On August 5th, a significant downturn occurred across global financial markets. Japan’s primary stock index fell more than 12%, leading to similar substantial decreases in the Dow Jones and Nasdaq. This turbulence caused tech companies to collectively lose around $650 billion in market value. Additionally, the crypto market felt the impact, with Bitcoin dipping below $50,000 to reach $49,578.

Young Ju warned on X that the crypto market remains vulnerable. If Bitcoin stays at its current levels for a week or two, recovery seems likely, but prolonged stagnation could signal the onset of a bear market. 

From my perspective as an analyst, as long as Bitcoin’s price maintains above $45K, there’s a potential for it to surpass its all-time high again within the next year. However, certain indicators are flashing bearish signs. Yet, these could bounce back with a rebound, so it’s crucial to monitor whether this level holds steady for about a week or two. If it does, there might be a possibility of recovery.

Bitcoin must stay above $45,000

In simpler terms, Young Ju predicted that if the value of Bitcoin stayed over $45,000, it might reach new record levels, surpassing its current highest price of $73,737.94 this year.

Ju thinks the current slump might be more akin to what we experienced in early 2020, not late 2021. He believes this is due to broader economic uncertainties rather than underlying problems.

There’s a notable shift occurring in the Bitcoin market, as it’s being transferred from long-term owners and institutions to newcomers. Individual investors’ participation, however, is relatively stable. This transition might be crucial in maintaining market stability during times of economic turmoil.

Right now, Bitcoin’s value hovers around $56,000, marking a 13% climb since its dip on August 5.
