Bitcoin power-law model projects $100k value before January 2025 James Van Straten ยท 2 weeks ago Insights Bitcoin Bitcoin's recent price trends test power-law model's accuracy. The Bitcoin (BTC) Power-Law Model, coined by Giovanni Santostasi, provides a mathematical description of BTC's price movements, revealing a power-law distribution on a log-log scale. This model proposes a relationship between time and price to anticipate BTC's long-term price trajectory, indicating a robust historical correlation. However, its predictive capabilities for future price movements are limited due to the absence of assumptions about broader markets and external factors. While it is an excellent indicator of BTC's past growth, its effectiveness in forecasting future price trends is constrained. Currently, the BTC price is hovering just below $66,000, while the power law model suggests fair value should be around $68,270 - a relatively close approximation. Interestingly, during March and parts of April, the Bitcoin price slightly exceeded the model's predictions, a feat not seen since May 2022. Giovanni's spiral view adaptation of the model assumes that the BTC price will gravitate towards the $100,000 mark slightly before January 2025. Giovanni says: "The real bull market is 2 hours ahead of us (or about 240 days)". Bitcoin would need to appreciate by approximately 54% to reach $100,000; currently, it is up 46% year-to-date.Quick Take
