Bitcoin price target is $120K, says analyst as key metric flips bullish
2024-11-05

Bitcoin BTCUSD touched $69,000 on US election day on Nov. 5 as a key onchain metric flipped bullish, suggesting that BTC’s uptrend toward $120,000 “remains intact.”
Bullish MVRV ratio puts BTC price target at $120K
Bitcoin is attempting to reclaim its 2022 all-time high of $69,000 as election anxiety engulfs the market on Nov. 5. 
In a market currently influenced by numerous macro-related issues, CoinLupin, an analyst at market intelligence firm CryptoQuant, opted for the traditional approach, utilizing the market value realized value (MVRV) indicator to indirectly assess Bitcoin’s current value.
With Bitcoin price trading at $68,755, the MVRV stands at 2, “indicating that the market’s surface value is twice the onchain estimated value,” the analyst said.
CoinLupin also found that the MVRV indicator recently surpassed the 365-day average and is presently above the 4-year average, which typically reflects Bitcoin’s cycle.

Supposing the realized value (RV) remains constant, a 43-77% increase is necessary for the MVRV ratio, the accompanying commentary added. 
To put this into perspective, the analyst explained that as the market rises with new buying interest, there is likely to be an uptick in RV as well, and a peak could be formed above these levels when previous cycles are taken into consideration. 
Meanwhile, independent analyst Mags noted that the Bitcoin hash ribbon had printed a “buy” signal, suggesting that BTC could soon BTC make a strong upward move.
In an earlier analysis on X, Mags spotted Bitcoin trading at $67,915, with the market setup projecting an expansion to $101,679.
Bitcoin sits on strong support at around $68,000
Bitcoin’s uptick on Nov. 5 saw it rise above a key level embraced by the 20-day exponential moving average (EMA), currently at $68,221, supporting the continuation of the uptrend.
At the time of publication, Bitcoin was trading above this crucial level, which serves as immediate support. 
The 20-day EMA is within the $66,700 to $68,730 range, where approximately 1.1 million BTC were previously bought by 2.5 million addresses, according to data from IntoTheBlock.
The in/out of the money around price (IOMAP) chart above shows that Bitcoin sits on relatively strong support compared to the resistance it faces on the upside, suggesting that the path with the least resistance for BTC is up.
