To help them gauge the price of the maiden digital asset, some of them turn to Bitcoincenter’s rainbow price chart, introduced by Bitcointalk user ‘trolololo’ in 2014, that shows its past performance to provide a potential insight into its long-term movements. In its short-term predictions, the rainbow chart indicates $16,703.48 as the bottom (‘1BTC = 1BTC’) in its purple band for September 22. At the same time, the end-of-the-year prognosis suggests that its most bullish scenario (‘Maximum Bubble Territory’), marked by dark red color, could see Bitcoin reach $294,915.68 on January 1, 2023. As for the short-term middle-way ‘HODL!’ scenario, marked in yellow, it is predicted to stand at $76,160 on September 23, 2022, whereas for the year’s turn, the rainbow price chart indicates Bitcoin could be in the zone around $86,790.
‘Just for fun’
It is important to note that the color bands only follow a logarithmic regression but do not represent any scientific basis. As the chart’s creators warn: As things stand, Bitcoin is currently trading at $18,451, down 7.33% on the day, as well as 16.8% compared to the previous seven days. Meanwhile, the market capitalization of the largest cryptocurrency, by this indicator, stands at $352.96 billion at press time, as per CoinMarketCap data.
