Bitcoin price scenarios for 2027–2031

The wider the band, the less certain the year: at moderate volatility of 43.82% a year the spread grows with the square root of time. Roughly two years out of three the price stays inside the band; the other one it does not.

The band is the price today multiplied by e to the power of plus or minus the volatility times the square root of the years. The centre equals today's price: the model does not predict direction. The last column is your own assumption, it is calculated in the browser.

The numbers in this block follow your own assumption, not a forecast: the orange line on the chart is your rate, the shaded area is the range from the coin's volatility.

How this forecast is built

We take the daily BTC price for the last 365 days, measure how much it swings from day to day and convert that into annual volatility — 43.82% for Bitcoin. That number sets how wide the band is.

The centre of the band is today's price, and that is deliberate. A future trend cannot be derived from past quotes: if it could, everyone would already have bought. Sites that show one exact number for 2030 are usually multiplying today's price by a fixed percentage — the same one for every coin.

What actually moves the BTC price

The price is 36.57% below the all-time high of $126,080; getting back there takes a 57.66% rise.
20.11 M BTC of the maximum 21 M have been issued — 95.74%. The closer to the cap, the less new supply reaches the market.
The next halving is expected around Apr 22, 2028: the block reward drops from 3.125 to 1.5625 BTC, halving the issue of new coins.
Market capitalisation is 1.61 T, rank 1: the bigger it is, the more money a comparable move needs.

What can go wrong

The band is not a guarantee. A single event — an exchange failure, a regulatory decision, a large holder selling — can take the price outside it in a day. Volatility itself changes too: it was 43.82% over the last 365 days and can be twice that. This page is information, not investment advice.
