Samson Mow, the CEO of Jan3, a BTC-focused tech company, has made a bold call, predicting that the Bitcoin price could eventually explode to $1 million per coin. Mow’s ambitious price forecast adds to the growing list of $1 million Bitcoin price projections by Bitwise and other market experts. The CEO has pointed to supply and demand dynamics as the key factor that could drive this seven-figure price target.  Why The Bitcoin Price Could Climb To $1 Million The Bitcoin price is now sitting above $75,000 after a sharp rebound to $79,000, only to quickly reverse most of those gains. Despite its failure to return to its all-time high above $126,000, market experts still maintain strong bullish outlooks for BTC.  Notably, Mow’s $1 million price forecast for Bitcoin suggests that the cryptocurrency could surge by over 1,200% or roughly 13x from its current price, marking a staggering gain. Speaking on a podcast, the CEO did not provide a clear timeline for this target. However, he strongly implied that a run to this level is inevitable.  Related Reading: Here’s How The Ethereum Vs. Solana Rivalry Is Going He backed his outlook by arguing that Bitcoin could experience a sharp “Omega Candle” that may propel its price toward $1 million. He stated that this move could occur sooner than expected and would likely be driven by a major shift in BTC’s supply and demand dynamics.  According to him, the current market appears to be mispricing BTC’s supply, with enough coins still sitting around waiting to be sold. He stated that many people are also being misled into believing that BTC has an infinite supply and that its price will always remain low.  However, Mow rejects this view, noting that major Bitcoin treasury companies like Strategy and others are steadily accumulating BTC, which could drive the available supply to extreme lows. Once this happens, the CEO believes that BTC could face a powerful supply shock that could propel its price toward $1 million. Mow also stated that Bitcoin has a habit of moving in directions the market does not expect. He argued that the traditional four-year cycle is dead and suggested that BTC could eventually hit a new ATH sooner than many expect. Despite claims that the market is in a bear market, the CEO believes Bitcoin can continue rising, challenging expectations of a prolonged downturn. Mow Outlines Bull Case For $10 Million BTC Price Another major reason Mow believes BTC could reach $1 million is its potential to evolve into the world’s reserve asset. As demand from institutions rises and more countries adopt the cryptocurrency, Mow expects BTC’s price to continue to increase over time. Related Reading: XRP Price At $25,000? The ‘Divine’ Prediction That Is Setting The Community On Fire He has also projected that the flagship cryptocurrency could eventually surge to $10,000,000 per coin. A massive gain like this would represent a 900% increase from $1 million and an overall gain of more than 13,200% from its current price.  Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Crypto analyst Kaz has called the local Bitcoin top, stating that the leading crypto has little room to the upside. The analyst also explained why BTC is now likely to drop below the psychological $60,000 level, which would mark a new low for the crypto asset.  Bitcoin Top About To Form As Price Eyes Drop Below $60,000 In an X post, Kaz said Bitcoin is very close to a local top, despite market participants predicting a sustained rally to $90,000. He noted that the last local top formed around $97,000, when people were calling for a rally to $108,000, but it did not happen. Instead, BTC was rejected from the daily Fair Value Gap (FVG) and recorded a massive decline.  Related Reading: Why The Bitcoin Price Could Hit $68,000 Again Kaz stated that the same price action is playing out again, with Bitcoin very close to the local top and a daily FVG in place. The analyst predicted that BTC might be rejected from the daily FVG and form a local top between $80,000 and $82,000. He also mentioned that the final range won’t dump in an instant but would rather be a slow bleed.  The analyst further pointed to the first week of May as when the Bitcoin top could form. Commenting on the current price action, he noted that BTC has only swept the highs and has formed equal lows on the lower timeframe, which is very likely to get swept. His accompanying chart showed that BTC could drop as low as $56,000 on the next move lower. Meanwhile, Kaz revealed that he will be adding to his short if BTC sweeps the $80,000 range.  BTC No Longer In A Bear Flag In an X post, crypto analyst Colin stated that Bitcoin remains in the yellow channel, with $81,000 as resistance at the upper boundary. The analyst noted that a break above this upper boundary would be bullish while a break below the lower boundary at $72,000 would be bearish. He added that if BTC continues to gradually climb within the channel, it will bump into overhead resistance between $80,000 and $86,000.  Related Reading: Analyst Reveals Bitcoin Big Picture, Predicts 50% Crash By EOY Colin warned that this is where Bitcoin will struggle to sustain its upward momentum and will likely find a local top, completing the relief rally. He explained that this range is highly likely to be a rejection point for BTC, as there is a convergence of overhead resistance levels, the 200-day moving average (MA), and the upper range of the channel. His accompanying chart showed that BTC could drop to around $66,000 when this relief rally is over.  At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $75,600, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
