undervalued

Cryptanalysis expert PlanB posted on the X platform, stating that the current Bitcoin price remains in the $67,000 range, but the S2F model still predicts a potential rise to $500,000 during the 2024-2028 cycle.If the model's judgment is accurate, it means that the current price of Bitcoin is severely undervalued and could likely be a potential long-term buying opportunity. However, the market is also discussing whether the model has become invalid. PlanB simultaneously asked the community, "Will Bitcoin's future trend be bullish or a collapse?"

According to Cointelegraph, Jan3 CEO Samson Mow stated that Bitcoin is currently undervalued compared to gold and the global money supply, which may indicate a price reversal.Mow posted on the X platform that Bitcoin's market value relative to gold or the global money supply is below its trend line by 24% to 66%, while gold is in an overbought state. Mow also cited the Bitcoin Z-score metric, which tracks the deviation of BTC price from its historical average. The Z-score of the Bitcoin-to-gold ratio is currently around -1.24. When this ratio's Z-score falls below -2, Bitcoin has previously experienced "significant" price increases.TradingView data shows that during the FTX collapse in November 2022, this metric fell below -3, and subsequently, BTC price rose over 150% within the next 12 months. A similar pattern occurred in March 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, where the metric fell below -2, and Bitcoin surged over 300% in the following 12 months.

Riot Platforms Vice President Pierre Rochard posted on the X platform that Bitcoin is still the most undervalued asset in the world.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong responded on social media to the question "Why is Coinbase always misunderstood or underestimated by Wall Street," stating: "I do believe Coinbase is a misunderstood company. This is a classic 'innovator's dilemma.' On one hand, the smartest traditional financial institutions are fully embracing the crypto industry. Five globally systemically important banks (GSIB) have begun collaborating with Coinbase. Many large financial institutions are also hiring crypto talent. As regulations become clearer, we see that about 50% of large financial institutions are actively embracing this trend. On the other hand, the other half is still lagging behind and resistant. The most disruptive innovations in the world almost always follow a similar pattern. Whether it's Uber, Airbnb, autonomous driving, AI applications, or SpaceX's impact on NASA. The crypto industry is directly disrupting Wall Street, so it's not surprising that some Wall Street people misunderstand crypto and Coinbase. The smart ones will embrace it, while the laggards will be eliminated. Coinbase and the crypto industry have never been in a stronger position than now. For investors to achieve excess returns, they must be 'both early and right.' Coinbase is still undervalued, and this is not yet a consensus among traditional analysts. I suggest focusing on what the company commits to do and whether it delivers, rather than just looking at whether analysts' models predict 'beats' or 'misses.' Additionally, our GAAP net profit includes unrealized gains and losses on held crypto assets, so adjusted net profit should also be considered (even in a down market, we were still profitable last quarter, and there has been some misunderstanding about this in the media)."

The cryptocurrency market analysis firm Santiment posted on social media that if a certain cryptocurrency's MVRV indicator is negative, most ordinary traders are losing on that token, indicating an entry opportunity, as profits are below the normal "zero-sum game" level. The more negative the yield, the lower the current buying risk for investors.The current MVRV indicators for mainstream tokens are as follows: ChainLink -9.5%, Cardano -7.9%, Ethereum -7.6%, XRP -5.7%, Bitcoin -3.7%, all of which are in the undervalued zone. Note: MVRV stands for Market Value to Realized Value Ratio, which is commonly translated into Chinese as: 市值 / 已实现价值比率. This indicator typically reflects whether the average investor holding the coin is making a profit or a loss, as well as whether the overall market valuation is high or low.

According to a Coinbase survey, over 70% of institutional investors believe that Bitcoin is undervalued in the current price range of $85,000 to $95,000.

Coinbase, in its "Q1 2026 Cryptocurrency Chart" report, noted that a survey of 75 institutional investors and 73 individual investors showed that 71% of institutions and 60% of individual investors believe Bitcoin is undervalued in the range of $85,000 to $95,000. 25% of institutions consider the valuation reasonable, while only 4% believe it is overvalued.The current price of Bitcoin is $87,600, down over 30% from the October all-time high of $126,080. Since the market crash on October 10, which liquidated over $19 billion in leveraged positions, cryptocurrency prices have mostly been stagnant or declining. Meanwhile, gold has surpassed $5,000, reaching a new all-time high, silver's market value has doubled since October, and the S&P 500 index has risen by 3%.The survey indicates that 80% of institutional investors stated they would hold or increase their positions if the crypto market drops another 10%. Over 60% of institutions have held or increased their positions since October. 54% believe the current market is in an accumulation phase or bear market. Coinbase expects the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates twice in 2026, which could be beneficial for the crypto market.

Coinbase stated in its released "Charting Crypto Q1 2026 Report" that about 70% of institutional investors believe Bitcoin is undervalued in the range of $85,000 to $95,000. The report shows that Coinbase surveyed 75 institutional investors and 73 independent investors from early December 2025 to early January 2026. Among them, 71% of institutional investors and 60% of independent investors believe that Bitcoin's current valuation is low; about 25% of institutional investors think its valuation is reasonable, and only 4% believe it is overvalued.During the survey period, Bitcoin's price fluctuated mainly within the $85,000 to $95,000 range. Coinbase pointed out that after Bitcoin reached an all-time high of about $126,000 in October 2025, its price has fallen by more than 30%, showing overall performance significantly weaker than precious metals like gold and silver, as well as the U.S. stock market. Due to geopolitical tensions, tariff uncertainties, and other factors, the sentiment in the crypto market remains cautious. In terms of investment behavior expectations, 80% of institutional investors indicated that if the market drops another 10%, they would choose to hold or buy on dips; over 60% of the surveyed institutions stated that they have maintained or increased their crypto asset allocation since October. Additionally, 54% of institutions believe the current market is still in an "accumulation phase" or bear market range. Coinbase also expects that the Federal Reserve may implement two rate cuts totaling 50 basis points in 2026, which could provide some macro support for risk assets, including crypto assets.

According to Forbes, as Bitcoin retreats from its historical high in October, concerns about the dollar system are rising. Analysts warn that the dollar may face structural downside risks, while the continued rise of gold and silver before 2026 could open up new upward space for Bitcoin prices.Data shows that Bitcoin is currently hovering around $90,000, a significant drop from its previous high of about $126,000; during the same period, gold has risen about 20% this year, and silver has surged by as much as 64%. Ramnivas Mundada, head of economic research at GlobalData, stated that the rise of precious metals in 2025 marks a shift in the international monetary system from a "dollar-centric" model to a multipolar structure, with expectations that gold still has an 8% to 15% upside potential by 2026, and silver may rise another 20% to 35%. Analysts believe that this trend is not merely a safe-haven trade, but rather a strategic allocation by institutional investors amid geopolitical tensions, a slowing U.S. economy, trade frictions, and accelerating "de-dollarization."The market is also betting on further interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in 2026, which would weaken the dollar's appeal. U.S. President Trump recently expressed hope that the new Federal Reserve chairman would actively cut rates when the market performs well, raising expectations for easing policies. Meanwhile, long-time dollar bear economist Peter Schiff bluntly stated, "Dollar hegemony is coming to an end," and claimed that gold will once again become a core reserve asset for central banks. Notably, while gold and silver have surged, Bitcoin's recent performance has lagged. Bitbank analyst Yu Nagatani also pointed out that against the backdrop of "overheating signs" in U.S. stocks and commodities, Bitcoin's current valuation appears low, which may attract valuation-based capital inflows in the future.

Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Yi Lihua stated, "For long-term spot investments, a few hundred dollars makes no difference. The reason ETH is currently undervalued is due to expectations of interest rate cuts and monetary easing from a macro perspective, along with continuously crypto-friendly policies. From an industry perspective, there is long-term growth in stablecoins and a trend of financial on-chain. The fundamentals of ETH are completely different now, and these factors are also the reason for heavily investing in WLFI/USD1.After fully investing, leave the rest to time; there will be no more short-term trading. Lastly, I want to reiterate that spot volatility is significant enough, so it's best to avoid trading contracts. First, most people lack the technical skills and psychological resilience. Second, trading contracts is a game of nine losses for one win, which can drain a person's energy; it’s better to use that energy to expand off-exchange business."

Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Yi Lihua posted on social media, "ETH has broken through $3200, and all the way down I have been firmly bottom-fishing, confidently optimistic about the subsequent market. It seems that Liquid Capital is the only major player in the entire network, returning to the previous round of bottom-fishing that was mocked.However, as an investor, without blind confidence, one must firmly believe in their own logic. Be greedy when others are fearful. The ETH upgrade and the continuous development of on-chain finance are still far underestimated. The core of trend investing is to believe in the trend and buy on dips."

Yi Lihua posted on platform X, stating that the WLFI team continues to invest in buybacks, and WLFI has recently risen 50% against the trend. According to investment research data, ETH is being heavily shorted by multiple platforms and institutions, and may face a short squeeze in the future. Compared to four years ago, under favorable conditions such as stablecoins, ETFs, DAT, and policies, the price of ETH is severely undervalued.

DeFiance Capital CEO Arthur Cheong posted on X that this may be the bleakest period for altcoins since the FTX collapse in November 2022. More than half of the trading pairs are at historical lows, and even with a rebound in Bitcoin, there are no signs of a bottoming out. However, for investors with a holding period of over a year, the current market is nurturing severely undervalued investment opportunities.

The cryptocurrency exchange Gemini reposted a tweet from its co-founder Tyler Winklevoss on the X platform, which he made over four years ago on January 2, 2021, when he stated that Zash (ZEC) was the most undervalued cryptocurrency, as privacy is a fundamental component of a free and open society. Gemini has received approval from New York's financial regulatory agency to list it. Historical data shows that the price of ZEC at that time was only about $57, while it has now risen to the $700 range, an increase of 11 times.In previous news, Winklevoss Capital, founded by the Winklevoss brothers, announced it would lead a $58.88 million private financing round for the ZEC treasury company Leap Therapeutics.

According to Jinshi reports, Steve Englander of Standard Chartered Bank stated in a report that the dollar has deviated over the past year and is now returning to its normal relationship with historical drivers. Englander pointed out that the dollar was overvalued at the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025, then became undervalued in the second quarter and early third quarter of 2025, and is currently almost flat. He believes that the reduction of the dollar's undervaluation is positive for the currency.

ChainCatcher news, according to Watcher Guru, JPMorgan, with an asset management scale of $3.6 trillion, stated in its latest report that Bitcoin is currently still undervalued compared to gold. The bank's analysts believe that the price of Bitcoin could reach $165,000.

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, on Wednesday, the soaring technology stocks on Wall Street experienced profit-taking, and funds began to flow into lower-valued sectors. The Federal Reserve lowered interest rates as expected, with Chairman Powell describing this rate cut as an "extraordinary" situation, amid a weak labor market and high inflation. The basket of stocks tracking the "seven giants" fell by 0.4%, ending a four-day winning streak. Ivan Feinseth, Chief Investment Officer of Tigress Financial Partners, stated that the market's excessive desire for rate cuts has led to overvaluation of technology stocks, necessitating an adjustment.

ChainCatcher news, Eric Trump stated on social media that he supports the claim that Ethereum is undervalued, and he retweeted a cryptocurrency analyst's opinion: According to global liquidity trends, the price of ETH should be above $8,000.

ChainCatcher news, according to information from social media platforms, U.S. President Donald Trump's son Eric Trump retweeted a comment about the value potential of Ethereum (ETH) on social media and publicly stated that he "completely agrees."The original post pointed out: "Ethereum is catching up with global liquidity. If compared to the growth of M2 money supply, the current price of ETH should have exceeded $8,000. This shows how undervalued ETH is at present, and it is likely one of the most promising trading opportunities right now."
