Analyst Benjamin Cowen believes Bitcoin (BTC) is poised for a massive price increase, potentially reaching six figures. However, he’s issued a warning: unemployment numbers could significantly impact the timeline.
Bitcoin’s Six-Figure Potential
Cowen’s bullish prediction is based on historical patterns following previous Bitcoin halvings (events that cut the rate at which new Bitcoins are created). He notes that Bitcoin’s current performance closely mirrors the average performance in previous halving years (2012, 2016, and 2020). If this trend continues, a price of $100,000 is within reach.
The Unemployment Wildcard
Despite the positive outlook, Cowen highlights a key uncertainty: the upcoming unemployment figures. A low unemployment rate (around 4% to 4.2%) would likely support the current bullish trend and maintain the timeline for a six-figure Bitcoin price. However, a higher-than-expected unemployment rate (4.3% or 4.4%) could significantly delay the rally, potentially pushing the $100,000 milestone into 2025. The upcoming labor market report will be crucial in determining the short-term trajectory of Bitcoin’s price.
