Bitcoin is about to make a big explosion by the end of the year, aiming for the 200,000 USD mark?

A well-known cryptocurrency strategist, famous for accurately predicting the market crash of Bitcoin (BTC) in 2021, believes that the "king of the coin world" is still on track to establish a new historical peak this year.

Specifically, the analyst known as Dave the Wave shared on the X platform that, based on his logarithmic growth curve model (LGC), Bitcoin could potentially soar to over 200,000 USD by the end of this year.

Dave the Wave posted a chart showing that Bitcoin has left the "buy zone" ( of LGC since the price surpassed the threshold of around 40,000 USD. According to his theory, LGC helps predict the peaks and troughs in Bitcoin's cycle while filtering out short-term noise.

"This chart was drawn when BTC had not yet reached half of the current price and was in the buying zone of LGC. So far, the price is still going in the right direction."

"The price is going as predicted."

"BTC is still 'running like clockwork' – a sign that the market is maturing more and more."

This indicator is used to detect changes in the trend, strength, and momentum of an asset. When the indicator rises above the 0 line, the market is often considered to be in an uptrend.

"Once again: The weekly MACD indicator of BTC has not fallen into the bearish zone ) below the line 0( since the beginning of 2023."
