Bitcoin Price Won’t Break $100K By End of 2026, Analysts Say—Here’s Why

Analysts from top crypto firms believe that other investment options, further interest rate tightening, and the still-developing situation in Iran are making it difficult for bitcoin to rise above the $100,000 price mark, even if a year-end uptick does happen. While bitcoin prices have seen a mild recovery during the last months, a further rise to break the $100,000 mark by the end of the year is seen as unlikely by crypto analysts, who believe that both the financial and geopolitical landscape are weighing on bitcoin’s strengths as an investment asset. Alice Liu, CoinMarketCap’s head of research, stressed that bitcoin will continue recovering during Q4, but that the crypto industry as a whole will not recover as fast as bitcoin.
