Quant Analyst PlanB States Bitcoin Enters ‘Face-Melting FOMO’ Phase

Renowned quant analyst PlanB has shed light on the current phase of Bitcoin’s market cycle, foreseeing a period of heightened volatility and significant price movements.

In a recent strategy session, PlanB shared insights with his vast audience of 118,000 YouTube subscribers, presenting a chart delineating the four distinct phases of Bitcoin’s market cycles: accumulation, bull market, distribution, and bear market.

Transition to the Bull Market

According to PlanB, the cryptocurrency has transitioned into the bull market phase, characterized by intense FOMO and substantial price rallies, accompanied by notable dips of up to 30%.

PlanB elaborated on the implications of this transition, emphasizing the likelihood of experiencing multiple sharp downturns amidst significant price surges. Drawing parallels to historical trends, PlanB highlighted the occurrence of numerous -30% dips during the 2017 bull market, followed by substantial price recoveries.

The analyst underscored the role of key factors driving market momentum, notably citing the influence of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on Bitcoin’s price trajectory. PlanB highlighted a recent instance where $500 million inflows into ETFs sparked a 5% price surge in Bitcoin, indicating the potential for further price appreciation fueled by increased ETF activity.

Looking ahead, PlanB speculated on potential developments that could further influence Bitcoin’s trajectory, including the prospect of sovereign funds and nation-state adoption in the coming years. While acknowledging the unpredictability of future events, PlanB emphasized the potential for surprising and extreme market movements.
