Bitcoin FAQs

• 1. What determines the price of Bitcoin?

  There are two schools of thought in determining the price of Bitcoin.
  
  By way of intrinsic value: This typically involves on-chain metrics, project metrics and financial metrics of Bitcoin, collectively known as fundamental analysis. The law of supply and demand, tokenomics, use case, project roadmap as well as regulations and governance involved would affect the value of Bitcoin from a long term perspective.
  
  By way of price action: Primarily analyzed via candlestick chart patterns and technical indicators such as MACD, RSI and the bollinger bands, technical analysis forecasts the price of Bitcoin on the basis that history tends to repeat itself. As the candlestick charts are a general representation of the emotion of the market, news announcements and community sentiment can be significant price action drivers for Bitcoin as well.
