Analyst Predicts Bitcoin Could Reach $100,000 by 2026

Bitcoin could hit $100,000 by 2026, says analyst.

The first cryptocurrency is expected to reach a new all-time high within 12 months. Michaël van de Poppe, founder of MN Trading, noted that after deep corrections, the asset’s price typically increases by 30-60% over six months.

Statistically, after such a correction of #Bitcoin, a new ATH is made within 12 months.

Within 3-6 months, on every occasion of such an outlier, Bitcoin was trading 30-60% higher than the low.

That would put $100K on the map in Q3 of 2026.

According to him, if this trend continues, the rate will reach $100,000 in the third quarter of 2026.

At the time of writing, digital gold is trading at $76,256 (+1.3% for the day).

Dynamics of Profitable and Unprofitable Bitcoin Addresses

Joao Wedson, founder of the analytical platform Alphractal, observed an unusual dynamic in profitable and unprofitable bitcoin assets.

Supply in Profit vs. Supply in Loss in Bitcoin shows an incredible dynamic.

The data shows that in each new cycle, the volume of “profitable” supply increases. According to the expert, this confirms the effectiveness of a long-term holding strategy for cryptocurrency. Wedson also noted a persistent trendline on the chart, which he described as “mysterious.”

Meanwhile, the volume of assets in loss is steadily decreasing. This trend began after the market downturn in 2018. With each cycle, the share of coins purchased at higher prices diminishes.

The analyst emphasized that no other global asset demonstrates such symmetrical and consistent behavior. In his view, this supply structure makes bitcoin a unique financial instrument.

At the same time, Julio Moreno, head of research at CryptoQuant, recorded a sharp inflow of bitcoins to exchanges.

The majority of the coins were sent to the Coinbase platform. An increase in exchange deposits is often associated with investors preparing to sell coins.

On April 20, the price of the first cryptocurrency held at $75,000 following the breakdown of the truce between the US and Iran.
