The Bitcoin Rainbow Chart is a fun way to look at the price movements of the king of crypto across different cycles. It doubles up as a tool that can be used to assess current long-term bias, and potentially forecast the next cycle’s top.

The chart uses a logarithmic scale to represent the different price bands of BTC and gives a quick insight into whether it is a good time to buy.

Surprisingly, even though Bitcoin is less than 10% below its ATH, the Bitcoin Rainbow Chart revealed that it is still in the “BUY!” zone. The risk when buying is low, and the mindset for investors should be one of HODL.

In the previous cycle, Bitcoin reached a new ATH and slumped dramatically about 336 days after the halving date. It reached a new ATH roughly 18 months later.

If a similar scenario plays out this cycle, Bitcoin would reach a high of $288k in March 2025 and be in the “Is this a bubble?” territory.

The $82k and $95.5k are the targets for this move. The price has already retraced to the 61.8% retracement level. Breaching the series of lower highs, starting with $70k, would be a good first step.
