Bitcoin price prediction for the short-term

Updated on: May 18, 2026

Bitcoin has dropped by around 7% over the past week. This brings the coin closer to its previous low, which is also an important price level. What can we expect from here?

How is Bitcoin looking?

To get a clear view of Bitcoin and its key price levels, we first look at the daily chart. Each candle on this chart represents 24 hours, giving us a broader view of past price action.

Three price levels stand out because they have influenced BTC several times before. These are shown on the chart as the orange dotted line around $74,500, the blue line around $97,900 and the red zone around $123,000. Each of these levels has previously triggered a change in price direction. That makes them important to remember. If Bitcoin reaches these zones again, the price could react once more.

At the moment, BTC is moving between the orange dotted line and the blue line. That leaves quite a wide range, but most of the action is still taking place near the lower part of it. Bitcoin is moving closer to the orange line, which could lead to an important situation.

If enough buy orders appear around this level, Bitcoin could bounce strongly from here. That would be a positive sign. But if the price starts trading below the dotted line, the next phase could become more negative.

Can BTC hold its upward trend?

To get a better idea, we also look at Bitcoin’s 4-hour chart. Each candle here represents 4 hours, allowing us to see the recent price action in more detail.

This chart shows that BTC has been moving in a positive structure for some time, with higher highs and higher lows. A few weeks ago, this pattern helped Bitcoin rise enough to break above the orange line in a bullish way. As long as the coin stays above this level and bounces from $74,500, there seems to be little reason for concern.

Bitcoin previously found acceptance above this zone and received support to move higher. But after last week’s decline, BTC is now approaching this crucial level again. This means the coin risks falling below an important price zone, as well as below its previous low around $75,000, shown as the green line on the chart.

That combination would be bearish. In that case, Bitcoin would not only lose a strong support level, but also break its positive trend of higher lows. That is why it remains important to watch the chart and these price levels closely.

PlanB: Bitcoin to average $500,000 in 2026 to 2028

But what if it happens even faster? Analyst PlanB is not short on optimism. Anonymity is more common in the world of Bitcoin. The only thing we know about PlanB? He is Dutch and has developed a unique price model for Bitcoin.

He calls this the stock-to-flow model of Bitcoin. The essence? Bitcoin is scarce, and that scarcity makes Bitcoin valuable. If you want the detailed explanation, you can read it below. But beware, we're delving deep into the world of Bitcoin!

So, Bitcoin is scarce. There will only be 21 million coins in the future. A fixed number of BTC enters the market every ten minutes. And that influx is roughly halved every four years. This is known as the Bitcoin halving.

Now, your economics lesson from the past comes back. What happens when demand remains the same but supply decreases? Prices rise. The stock-to-flow model is built on this principle.

Below, you can see PlanB's model along with the Bitcoin price. The dark blue band represents one standard deviation, and the light blue band represents two standard deviations. As you can see, the price has been moving within the model's range for years.

Will it continue like this? Then Bitcoin could reach 500.000 US dollars on average between 2025 and 2028. This may seem like an unthinkable scenario for some. But imagine this: ten years ago, no one expected Bitcoin to ever be worth 50,000 euros.
