As we approach the final hours of 2025 and enter January 2026, the cryptocurrency market is experiencing a historic turning point. After Bitcoin reached a peak of $125,100 last October, we are now entering a phase of "institutional regulation" rather than mere speculation.
Here are the top predictions for the cryptocurrency market at the start of 2026:
1. Bitcoin #CryptoMarketPrediction BTC(: The $100,000 barrier struggle
Current situation: Bitcoin is currently trading around $89,000 - $92,000 as December ends.
Predictions: Analysts expect the traditional "January rally" driven by rebalancing institutional portfolios. The next target is to break through the psychological barrier of $100,000. If the price fails to stay above $85,000, we may see a quiet "distribution phase" taking us to support levels around $75,000 before rising again.
Main driver: Continued inflows into )ETFs( and expectations that the Federal Reserve will adopt a more flexible monetary policy in the first quarter of 2026.
2. Ethereum )ETH(: Expected to regain its shine at the start of the year if legislation supporting institutional decentralized finance )DeFi( applications is approved, with targets reaching $4,500.
3. Solana )SOL(: Historically, January is Solana's best performing month. All eyes are on breaking new highs above $200 amid its dominance in the retail user sector.
