Derived from AMBCrypto, major funds and asset managers are divided on Bitcoin’s 2026 price outlook. Fundstrat’s Crypto Strategy Head Sean Farrell warned of a potential BTC dip toward the $60K–$65K zone due to ETF inflow exhaustion and post-halving miner selling, while Fundstrat’s head of research Tom Lee predicted a new all-time high of $200K by early January. Galaxy’s Alex Thorn described 2026 as 'too chaotic to predict,' with options markets pricing equal odds of $70K or $130K by June 2026 and $50K or $250K by year-end. Bitwise and Grayscale, however, projected a new ATH in H1 2026. Analysts also noted that Bitcoin’s next direction could be set after December 26, as $23 billion in BTC options expire, potentially causing year-end volatility.
