Still think that Bitcoin's May halving is priced in? Here's what stock-to-flow model creator PlanB has to say about it
Plan B, the anonymous investment manager who created Bitcoin's stock-to-flow model, is certain that the price of Bitcoin will stay about $10,000. After that, it will slowly climb to the pie-in-the-sky target of $100,000 that is expected to be reached by December 2021.

The S2F model attempts to predict the price of Bitcoin based on its supply cuts. While it does attract a lot of skepticism from those who believe that BTC's price moves are driven by demand, it has been verified and adopted by many quants.
According to Plan B, the May halving will produce similar results to the previous two because of co-integration between the S2F and the price of the crypto king.
