Bitcoin’s fair value: BTC may never fall below $60K, says economist

As a seasoned researcher with over two decades of experience in the financial markets, I have witnessed countless bull and bear cycles, from the dot-com bubble to the 2008 global financial crisis. Having closely observed Bitcoin’s meteoric rise since its inception, I find it intriguing to see predictions about its future price movement.


Questions have arisen around Bitcoin’s fair value after a popular economist predicted that the world’s first cryptocurrency may never fall below $60,000.

According to economist and trader Alex Krüger, posted on November 5th, it’s possible that the price of Bitcoin (BTC) might surpass the significant level of $60,000.

“50% probability of Bitcoin never trading below 60K again.”

Based on certain measurements, it’s possible that the minimum price for Bitcoin could exceed $40,000. One such metric is the 200-week moving average, which is often employed to identify major market tendencies by filtering out short-term fluctuations in value.

On October 18th, as per Adam Back – co-founder and CEO of Blockstream, as well as the inventor of Hashcash – this significant benchmark was reached and surpassed the $40,000 threshold.

Back wrote in an Oct. 20 X post:

“The Bitcoin 200 week moving average, effectively the bitcoin floor “up only” price crossed $40k. You can view it as roughly the bitcoin floor price without the volatility, at least historically.”
