PANews, October 18: According to CoinDesk, institutions hold divergent views on Bitcoin’s year-end price trajectory, with optimists targeting $100,000 and cautious analysts focusing on inflation pressures. Ryan Rasmussen, Head of Research at Bitwise, believes that Bitcoin could surpass $100,000 by the end of 2026, driven by institutional demand through ETFs and corporate purchases, concerns over inflation and government debt, and a clearer regulatory environment. Adam Morgan McCarthy, Head of Research at LO:TECH, expects Bitcoin to trade between $85,000 and $95,000 before year-end, with inflation pressures and Federal Reserve policy remaining key headwinds; for Bitcoin to reclaim above $100,000, the market may need to lower expectations for a December Fed rate hike—a shift that could be supported by falling oil prices and easing inflation.

Summary
Analysts remain divided on Bitcoin’s year-end outlook. Bitwise’s Ryan Rasmussen anticipates that the spot Bitcoin ETF could drive Bitcoin past $100,000 by late 2026, supported by ETF inflows, corporate purchases, and inflation. LO:TECH’s Adam Morgan McCarthy expects Bitcoin to trade between $85,000 and $95,000 by year-end, citing Fed policy and inflation as headwinds. A move above $100,000 hinges on a more accommodative Fed stance and declining inflation.
