Bitcoin price prediction for the short-term

Updated on: August 14, 2026

Bitcoin continues to trade around $64,000 while market activity remains unusually low. According to Glassnode, spot volume measured in bitcoin has fallen to its lowest level since its dataset began in 2019. Volatility also remains subdued.

Inflation data barely moves bitcoin

Bitcoin showed little reaction to relatively favourable US inflation data. The Producer Price Index was unchanged in July. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, goods prices fell 0.7 percent while services rose 0.2 percent.

Lower inflation can normally support risk assets by increasing expectations of easier monetary policy. This time, however, additional demand for bitcoin failed to appear. Glassnode sees the weak response mainly as a sign that buyers remain hesitant.

Key price levels

Glassnode places an important cost-basis level near $63,000. Around $68,700 sits the average purchase price of short-term holders.

Bitcoin has traded between these levels for almost three months. That means recent buyers may be more willing to sell near $68,700 as they return to break-even.

Low volume, high leverage

Despite quiet spot markets, futures activity remains significant. Open interest is now larger than an entire day of futures trading volume.

Combined with low liquidity, this could amplify price moves. If many leveraged positions are closed at once, even a relatively small move could quickly accelerate.

Buyers remain cautious

Glassnode sees signs that selling pressure is easing, including lower exchange inflows. However, strong buying demand is still missing.

US spot bitcoin ETFs have recorded positive inflows again since late July, but at much lower levels than during previous accumulation phases.

Glassnode identifies $68,700 as an important upside level and around $58,500 as support. The market may look calm, but low liquidity means the next major move could develop quickly.

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.
