Frequently asked questions

What is Bitcoin's fair price today?

At the latest daily close, the model puts Bitcoin's fair price at about $87,300. It is the center line of the Bitcoinomics rainbow model, drawn through the midpoint between each cycle's bottom and top, and what some call Bitcoin's fair value. It is a reference point taken from past cycles, not a price target.

What is Bitcoinomics?

A small set of free Bitcoin analytics tools built on the complete daily price history. Every number is computed from that series when the page is built, so what a crawler reads and what the charts draw are the same numbers.

Where does the price data come from?

CoinMetrics Community Network Data, refreshed every morning UTC and committed to the repository. The live spot price on top of it comes from Coinbase's public endpoint when you load the page.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

100% free: no account, no tracking cookies, no paywalls. Everything is computed in your browser on data that ships with the page.

Is this financial advice?

No. These are historical models: they describe where the price has been. Use them as context for reading the market, never as a recommendation to buy or sell.
