How high can Bitcoin reach in 2026? The answer the market gives now should be much more cautious. Looking back at the collective mispredictions of 2025, the institutions have learned their lesson this time.



However, there are still optimists. Major institutions like Tom Lee, Standard Chartered, Bernstein, JPMorgan, and Citibank still have a positive outlook for the future, generally setting target ranges between $150,000 and $250,000. Their logic is actually not complicated: institutional funds are rapidly expanding, spot Bitcoin ETFs continue to attract capital, and global regulatory attitudes are gradually becoming clearer. These are all substantial factors supporting the price.

Notable figures like Arthur Hayes and IOSG also have their own viewpoints, but specific predictions are still in the works. Overall, the market has shifted from last year's blind optimism to a more rational assessment—data speaks, and logic comes first.

Institutions are starting to make predictions again, and this time they are indeed much more cautious. I think a conservative estimate would be between 150,000 and 250,000. The ETF's ability to attract funds looks really strong.

The consultation records show that last year's collectively inaccurate predictions have now become a living example. In the range of 150,000-250,000, liquidity indicators must support it; otherwise, it's just empty talk. ETF attracting funds is a fact, but once signs of capital outflow appear, no matter how perfect the logic is, it can't be saved. It is recommended to regularly review fundamental data.

$150,000-$250,000? Honestly, these big institutions have now learned to hedge their bets. They hyped it up last year and changed their tune this year. It's hilarious. I've heard the logic of betting on ETFs to attract funds too many times. The key is whether the institutions are actually buying or not.

150,000 to 250,000? This time, the institutions really learned their lesson. All those predictions they made last year are now silent, haha.

150,000 to 250,000 USD? The institutions finally learned their lesson this time. The predictions of "one hundred thousand dollars" last year cracked me up. Now, it's all about how long the ETF can continue to attract funds.
