The Rainbow Chart is based on a logarithmic regression model, not financial advice. It is a long-term perspective tool only. Bitcoin is an extremely volatile asset and could trade at any price regardless of the model's prediction. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
About the Bitcoin Rainbow Chart
The Bitcoin Rainbow Chart overlays color-coded bands on Bitcoin's logarithmic price chart to provide a very rough long-term perspective on valuation. It uses a log regression curve as the "fair value" model and divides the chart into 9 emotional bands from extreme fear to extreme greed.
The chart was created by Blockchaincenter.net and popularized as a way to add a humorous, visual perspective on Bitcoin market cycles. It should not be used as a primary investment signal — but it does highlight Bitcoin's recurring pattern of boom-bust cycles relative to a long-term growth trend.
