Bitcoin's Energy Value Theory Suggests Fair Price of $47K, But Buyers See Support at $24K

  • Bitcoin's current price presents a low-risk buying opportunity per energy value theory, suggesting a fair value of $47,200.

  • Energy value theory estimates Bitcoin's fair value based on the energy required to produce it. More energy = more value.

  • Limitations mining efficiency varies over time and theory doesn't account for other price factors like supply/demand.

  • Buyers expect downside support at $24,600 based on liquidation levels, with risk of dropping below $23,000.

  • Dropping below $23,000 would target $21,451 and $19,549 support levels from 2022.
