How is this BTC prediction made and how often is it updated?
Ranges come from the standard deviation of daily log returns over the last 90 days, scaled by the square root of time with zero drift. Targets are market cap divided by circulating supply. Trend and momentum use 365 days of daily prices. The page is regenerated every day and the price refreshes live; nothing is hand-picked.
Not financial advice. Scenarios are statistical ranges from past volatility, not forecasts; market-cap targets are arithmetic, not expectations. Back to BTC price today, contract address and security check.
