Price models Bitcoin
Three long-term price models Bitcoin — Rainbow Chart, Stock-to-Flow and Power Law — show the historical “fair” price and the current position BTC relative to the long-term trend.

Long termHow pricing models work Bitcoin?
Pricing models Bitcoin — are mathematical tools that attempt to estimate the "fair" long-term value BTC based on various factors: scarcity, historical growth dynamics, or comparison with other scarce assets. None of them are oracles—they are frameworks for understanding where BTC is in its long-term cycle.
Rainbow Chart is based on logarithmic regression of historical prices BTCNine color stripes from purple ("is it real?" - buy) to dark red ("sell - fire sale"). In March 2020 Bitcoin fell to the dark blue "Basically a Steal" zone around $3,800. By November 2021, it had entered the red zone at $67,000. Between these extremes, there's a 1,660% gain.
Stock-to-Flow, created by anonymous analyst Plan B in 2019, compares Bitcoin to gold: the higher the ratio of accumulated reserves to annual production, the higher the price should be. The model predicted a range of $50,000–$100,000 for the 2020–2021 cycle. The model has many critics, but it remains the most cited forecasting tool in the crypto community.
Power Law — a power law describing growth Bitcoin since 2010. Researcher Giovanni Santostasi has shown that the price BTC follows a statistically stable exponential law. The model's lower line has never been broken downwards at the close of a month over the past 15 years.
Comparison of pricing models BTC
| Model | Warp | Horizon | Accuracy | Restrictions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rainbow Chart | Logareg. regression | Cycle (4 years) | High | Does not take into account the foundation |
| Stock-to-Flow | Scarcity | 1–4 years | Average | Controversial statistics |
| Power Law | Power law | 10–20 years | High (long term) | Not for tactics |
