A colourful log-regression band chart, from fire-sale blue at the bottom to maximum-bubble red at the top.

Price against logarithmic-regression bands. The band Bitcoin sits in is meant as mood, not a signal.

The rainbow chart is a well-known but deliberately unserious tool. The bands are fitted to past price, so they are descriptive, not predictive. We include it because people search for it, and we would rather show it honestly than pretend it is a model.

The Bitcoin Rainbow Chart is one of the most shared images in crypto. It fits a logarithmic regression through Bitcoin's price history and then draws a set of coloured bands above and below that centre line, labelled with tongue-in-cheek captions from basically a fire sale at the bottom to maximum bubble at the top.

It works as a rough long-term map because Bitcoin has spent its life climbing a broadly logarithmic path. When price sinks into the cool blue bands it has tended to be historically cheap, and when it pushes into the hot red bands it has tended to be historically expensive.

It is important to be honest about what it is. The bands are drawn to fit the past, so they will always look right in hindsight and they shift as new data arrives. Enjoy it as a mood ring, not a forecast, and lean on the rigorous signals on this site for anything that matters.

The charts are public. The read is the edge.
