While Bitcoin undergoes a correction, industry observers are again calling for a historic comeback that could push its price toward $600,000. Over the past few days, Bitcoin entered a cooling phase after hitting a new peak of $124,450 last week. The leading crypto retraced to $114,723 earlier today before recovering slightly to $115,300 at press time. Despite this correction, analysts suggest that Bitcoin is setting up for a “huge bull run.” The Pattern Pointing to Bitcoin $600K Bitcoin analyst AO compared the current Bitcoin chart to gold’s trajectory from 2006. Particularly, Gold consolidated in a similar wedge and ascending triangle structure before exploding to record highs. AO believes Bitcoin is mirroring that same pattern and is primed for a parabolic rally. According to AO’s chart, Bitcoin is at a similar inflection point, with a move above half a million dollars materializing by 2026. AO’s Bitcoin and gold chart Interestingly, AO is not the only analyst who has drawn parallels between Bitcoin and gold’s long-term charts. Numerous market watchers have highlighted similar breakout patterns, though most have not projected a specific target price for Bitcoin at the end of the mirroring move. Digital Gold Status to Be Cemented AO has boldly suggested a $600,000 price target for Bitcoin, which would require a 421% increase from current levels. Notably, this would give Bitcoin a market capitalization of approximately $12 trillion, surpassing tech giants like Apple, Nvidia, and Google, and ranking just behind gold in global valuation. In other words, such a development would further validate Bitcoin’s long-touted status as “digital gold.” In an August 1 Bloomberg interview, VanEck CEO Jan van Eck reaffirmed his belief that Bitcoin could rival gold by capturing half of its market cap. He cited Bitcoin’s maturation and growing acceptance as a reserve asset. Meanwhile, Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego believes Bitcoin will eventually surpass gold’s $22 trillion market cap. Given Bitcoin’s rapid growth of 156% in 2023 and 121% in 2024, compared to gold’s slower gains, Salinas argued that Bitcoin is steadily overtaking gold in both value and relevance.
