Bitcoin (BTC): “Digital Gold” & Market Cycle 2025–2026

🪙 Potential End 2025

The BTC market briefly fell to the range of ~$90,000–$94,000 by the end of 2025, after reaching an ATH above $125K in early October 2025, showing high market volatility.

Almost all projections from big players indicate that BTC still has room for growth, although more moderate compared to previous super-bullish predictions. For example:

• Standard Chartered revised its BTC target to around $100,000–$120,000 by the end of 2025, down from the previous target of $200K.

• Other analyses see BTC potentially “strengthening again” past the resistance zone of $93–96K with support from ETF entry and institutional adoption.

👉 In summary, BTC at the end of 2025 is likely still above $90K, but it may not return to ATH in the short term unless there is a major catalyst (ETF, bullish cycle, or positive macro news).

🚀 Outlook 2026

For 2026, projections are still mixed:

Moderately bullish: ✔ Many projections estimate BTC will remain bullish in the range of $150,000–$230,000 throughout 2026–2027 if the market cycle continues.

Bearish/sideways: ✖ There are also mentions that if the bull momentum weakens, BTC could stagnate until consolidating below levels… however, the likelihood of a “full bear market” is less strong without extreme macro pressure.

📌 In summary for BTC in 2026:

👉 Still bullish in the medium term, with a consensus target area of $120K–$230K, depending on the market cycle & institutional adoption.
