Even more interesting is that for bitcoin the "production cost" (ie. the mining cost) is decided based on bitcoin's price not the other way around.
funny thing is..
for years i have been running charts of the cheapest and most expensive mining costs.. and treated that as a value window.
and in 99.99% of chart plots the price sits within the mining cost value window.
check one example recently
https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/5382559.msg59053731#msg59053731the blue and purple line is mining cheap-premium. and if you look at the peaks and valleys of mining cost. and then look forward a few days,weeks the price then follows with a peak or valley.
this is because when it costs more to mine, for instance in USA than the price is. hobby miners switch off their asics to then buy. which then makes the price rise with the mining cost.
when its cheaper to mine than the price. people turn on their miners and stop buying.
check out the april mining cost dip. and then the price dip in may
check out the june mining dip due to china.. and then the price dip in july
yes the november 2021-jan2022 is a bear sign where prices decrease even when the costs dont, but that shows the cheapest miners remained bullish from jun-december even with a market being bear november-december.. but even so even now today the price sits within the value window of cost. the bottomline blue are the cheapest miners on the planet and they only react when their profit margin gets small. they dont react daily, weekly monthly they only started reacting in january this year and only a small amount of them cheap asics miners reacted
