About btc circulating supply and price calculation

BTC circulating supply is now 19 billion out of the 21 billion cap.

Is it possible to calculate how much the price of btc will go up until it hits the 21 billion cap? I know there is some complicated math you can do about circulating supply, market cap, price etc, it's all connected to each other, so I think it's possible to calculate this I'm just not sure how exactly but I know this:

Market Cap = Current Cryptocurrency Price x Total Amount of Coins in Circulation

I don't think we need to do any math about after it hits the max supply because that's over a 100 years into the future so we won't be alive then.

But with the previous formula, market cap isn't something that increases by itself, it's increased only if circulating supply or price increases. If we do some algebra:

Current Cryptocurrency Price = Market Cap / Total Amount of Coins in Circulation

This means price doesn't increase by itself, only if market cap or circulating supply increases but we already saw that market cap doesn't increase by itself.

So only way for price to go up in value is if circulating supply increases? Is that right or wrong? It just doesn't seem like there's that much supply remaining when we're at 19 out of 21 billion already. Plus it's going to take more than 100 years to reach the max supply. Such as that it remains the potential as a world's reserve currency and king of digital gold, instead of some other blockchain taking that role, or some other tech, like I read something about some poeple working on a coin that is worth energy, not made with energy like btc but actually worth energy, although maybe that's WEF behind it, I think it sounds familiar to what I've heard their plans are with social scores, scary.

But I think there's probably more to it this just this simply calculation. There's supply and demand as well. I'm actually really bad at math so hopefully there's someone who's good at math who has this figured out and can ELI5. How can I calculate price potential of BTC within next 1-10 years?
