You weren't surprised, right?
Bitcoin is trading 44.88% below its implied price, in accordance with the power law. Local price remains in a historically low regime, yet the underlying structure remains intact.

On February 25, we published an article on X titled “Don’t be surprised this year.” We argue that we’ve been at these prices before, and should not expect quick resolution from this regime. Well! After a month of churn, we’re still here. Not only is that normal, but this behavior is also consistent with prior oscillations around the scaling trajectory.
Exponent and fit are our quick integrity checks. The exponent is the slope on the log-log chart and tells us how strongly price scales with time.
Today’s full-data exponent is 5.6343, tracking under the long-run reference we monitor. On the chart, you can see the full-data line working lower in the local window.
Today’s full-data R² = 0.9432. High fit, and above our reference. Even with the violent price changes, when measured over the full data set, you can see just how stable r² is and what we mean by intact structure.
Today’s full-data exponent and R² do not say the power law has failed. They say the long-horizon fit is still there while spot trades cheap.
Structure first. Everything else is noise.
Fewer surprises usually come from watching structure, not from timing headlines. We’ve been experimenting with more of the 2-year rolling-window metrics and finding all kinds of interesting relationships worth digging into. Paid subscribers get to see how quickly we went from “experiment” to “regime change signal” in Transition Score.
