Bitcoin price prediction for the short-term

Updated on: May 4, 2026

For the first time since January, Bitcoin has moved back above the $80,000 mark. What does this mean for the price outlook?

Bitcoin over the past year

To understand this move, we first look at Bitcoin’s daily chart. On this chart, each candle represents a 24-hour period. This gives us a broader view of Bitcoin’s recent price history. Two levels immediately stand out. Both have played an important role in the past. On the chart, they are shown as a red zone and an orange dotted line. Let’s start with the red zone.

This is where Bitcoin reached its all time high last year. In September, BTC climbed to around $123,000. At that level, the market faced heavy selling pressure, which pushed the price back down. Bitcoin then made three more attempts to break above this area, but none of them succeeded. The red zone proved too strong.

What followed was a long downward trend, with lower highs and lower lows. The decline was so sharp that Bitcoin eventually dropped below the orange line at $74,500. By doing so, BTC lost one of its most important support levels. The previous time Bitcoin reached this area, it actually managed to bounce strongly from there.

The downtrend only came to an end after Bitcoin had fallen more than 50% from the red resistance zone, reaching a price of around $60,000. From that point, the outlook slowly started to improve. This was mainly because of a clear trend reversal.

A new upward trend

To see this more clearly, we zoom in on Bitcoin’s 4-hour chart. Here, each candle represents a 4-hour period. This allows us to look at the recent price action in more detail.

The chart shows that Bitcoin has finally moved away from its downward pattern. After visiting the $60,000 area, BTC started forming higher lows and higher highs. In March, Bitcoin made its first attempt to reclaim the $74,500 level, but that attempt failed.

It then took about a month before BTC tried again. This time, the attempt was successful. That brought some optimism back into the market. The positive sentiment became stronger when Bitcoin, after reclaiming the level, found support again around the orange line. This suggests that the level may now act as support if the price pulls back.

Since then, BTC has continued its upward trend in a steady way. The coin is now even trading above $80,000. As long as Bitcoin keeps forming higher highs and higher lows, the outlook remains positive.

The main risk is that Bitcoin breaks out of this upward pattern. When that happens, sentiment can quickly turn negative again. That is why it remains important to keep an eye on the chart and these key price levels.

What are the expectations for Bitcoin in 2026?

Bitcoin seems to be gaining momentum in 2026. In a neutral scenario, BTC could trade around €76,811.70 by the end of 2026, although this heavily depends on market sentiment.

What are the predictions for Bitcoin in 2027?

In a neutral scenario, the price could move toward €74,806.47 by July 2027. Whether this trend will continue remains the big question. If it does, the price could reach around €88,574.87 by December 2027.

How much will Bitcoin be worth in 2028?

In a neutral scenario, Bitcoin could theoretically reach a price of €150,356.22 by the end of 2028. By July 2029, the price could move toward €204,170.24, ending 2029 near €168,180.26.

What are the predictions for Bitcoin in 2030?

Now for the true long-term view. By mid-July 2031, the price of Bitcoin could move toward €174,171.23 in a neutral scenario. If this scenario continues, we could theoretically see a price of around €173,402.68 by December 2031.

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.
