The power law is one of the few long-term Bitcoin models that has held up across cycles. It says Bitcoin's price has grown along a remarkably stable trajectory when you plot it on log-log axes (both price and time logarithmic).
On those axes, Bitcoin's messy price history straightens into a corridor — a fair-value line with a band above (overheated) and below (undervalued). Price oscillates within that corridor cycle after cycle, spending bull-market tops near the upper edge and bear-market bottoms near the lower.
Most price targets are guesses. The power law gives a structured sense of where price sits relative to its long-term trajectory — cheap, fair, or stretched — rather than a headline number pulled from the air.
It's a model, not a law of physics. Past fit doesn't guarantee future fit, and it says nothing about short-term moves. Use it for long-term context and position sizing — not for timing next week's candle.

Open Power Law CorridorCreate free accountIs the Bitcoin power law reliable?
It has fit price surprisingly well across multiple cycles, but it's an empirical model — useful for long-term context, not short-term timing, and not guaranteed to hold.
What does the power-law corridor tell me?
Whether price is currently cheap, fair or stretched relative to its long-term trajectory — helpful for position sizing.
Can I use it to predict the next top?
It gives a range for where a cyclical top might fall, not a precise price or date. Treat it as context, not a prediction.
