Beyond the price of Bitcoin, experts point to fundamental movements in the ecosystem:

January 2026 is at a key point, as it historically falls after the potential peak of a post-halving bull run (which occurs every 4 years). Predictions vary greatly, reflecting the debate between a cyclical pullback or a "super-cycle" driven by institutional adoption.#BTC

Estimated BTC Price Scenario for 2026 (Range) Main Justification
Optimistic (Super-Cycle) $125,000 - $300,000+ USD Massive institutional adoption (ETFs), post-halving scarcity, and capital inflow that breaks historical correction cycles.
Cyclical (Pullback) $60,000 - $70,000 USD Based on historical pattern: a peak in 2025 (possibly at $150k or $160k) followed by a significant correction (a bear market) that would bring the price to levels close to or slightly below the previous high of $69,000.
Conservative Estimate (Kraken) ~$95,000 USD#BTC
