Bitcoin’s Fair Value Is $170K, JPMorgan Argues in Gold-Based Model
JPMorgan analysts have projected that Bitcoin (BTC) could reach a fair value of $170,000 within the next six to twelve months, based on its historical valuation relative to gold. In a recent note, strategist Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou and his team indicated that the recent downturn in the crypto markets, largely attributed to liquidations in perpetual futures, has passed, paving the way for potential upside. They point out that Bitcoin is currently undervalued compared to gold, with a need for its market cap to grow by two-thirds to align with the $6.2 trillion private investment base in gold. This assessment indicates a shift in investor behavior, where Bitcoin may be viewed as a more attractive hedge against risks posed by equities due to rising gold volatility. While concerns regarding U.S. banking liquidity were addressed, the analysts believe the situation is improving, facilitating a favorable environment for risk assets, including Bitcoin.
