The sixth is here and I want to remind people first and foremost that BTC doesn't have to do anything that we predict it will do. As a matter of fact if manipulation is as strong as some people believe then it is most certainly not going to do what the overwhelming masses believe. Just as it's best to buy when there is blood on the streets, it's going to be best to buy when every one else is selling. So let's see how plausible it is from here to get to 25K and even 30k.
I'm going to put this in real simple math terms to show what the average daily growth needs to be to meet these goals. We are at just over 7.5k so I think with the volatility still in the market swings of a couple hundred dollars are still very likely. I'm going to also estimate that we only have about 180 days left this year.
$25,000-$7000 = $18000 The amount that we need to increase to get to the end goal of the shorter trend-line. 180 days left in the year means that on average we only need to gain $100 dollars per day. $18000/180 days = $100. Gains and losses can be found in the 15 minute and 5 minute charts every now and then so for the daily chart to reflect this is really really plausible.
$35,000-$7000 = $28000 The amount that we need to increase to get to the end goal of the second over-all trend-line. The simple 180 days again puts us at a gain of $156 rounding to the nearest dollar. $28000/180 days = $155.56 average increase per day.
Now with these simple numbers, apply them to the bell curve that I've presented in the past and think about adoption. Are people running from bitcoin as a whole or adopting it even more on the whole. Use cases are still few but improvements keep coming. Even as a store of value, it is still going to increase in use for a while and that adoption rate is not going to be linear. Hence the reason I used parabolic lines. As for the two beacon examples of BTC and block chain being adopted...Taiwan and Korea. There are also a plethora of countries in turmoil where BTC is being adopted as a way to not use native fiat currency. All of this outside of the normal developed nations trying to make this more usable.
Now with this said, $7000-$4000 = $3000. This 3000/180days = $16.67 dollars of loss per day over the next few months to take us down to $4000. It is really easy to see that a BTC price of $4000 is entirely plausible if things were linear, but for an adoption cycle to be exponentially increasing we would have to be on the downside of the bell curve to get there easily, and we would have to also see an agreement of sell-off between a lot of parties otherwise.
For us to reach $4000 at this moment which I do believe is possible but unlikely, there would be a sell off great enough to counter act the adoption process and the reason I'm not worried about that is because if it happens that spring is going to be compressed under so much pressure that the bull run afterwards will dwarf what we saw in 2017. I don't believe that it would happen right after the fall because a lot of people are going to lose trust in the system, but after it settles again there would be a massive buying frenzy.
