Bitcoin Analyst Says King Crypto Will Surpass $70,000 In 2024: 'ETF Juggernaut'

Despite not expecting a smooth, volatility-free ascent, the firm sees a favorable risk-reward balance for Bitcoin in 2024.

What Happened: Gautam Chhugani and Mahika Sapra, analysts at Bernstein, shared their insights in a note to investors: “While we are not calling for a straight volatility-free climb to all-time-highs, we are comfortable with the risk-reward for the rest of 2024 at today’s price.”

Following the launch of 10 Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the US on Jan. 11, Bitcoin's price briefly touched $49,000 and is currently trading around $42,600.

They predict a 65% increase in Bitcoin's value, aiming for the $70,000 mark by year-end.
