Summary

Standard Chartered has lowered its 2026 Bitcoin price target to $100,000 from $150,000, marking the second adjustment in under three months. The bank warned that BTC’s price could fall below $50,000 before rebounding. This revision follows a volatile period for crypto, including the October 2023 crash. Bitcoin’s price remains under pressure amid ongoing market uncertainty.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Standard Chartered Bank has lowered its Bitcoin price forecast for the second time in less than three months, warning that BTC prices could fall below $50,000 before rebounding.

The bank stated in a report on Thursday that it now expects Bitcoin’s price to reach $100,000 by the end of 2026, down from its previous forecast of $150,000. In December last year, the bank had already significantly lowered its Bitcoin price target from $300,000.

This latest adjustment comes after a period of volatility in digital assets. Since the market crash in October last year, Bitcoin has struggled, followed by sustained fluctuations and shifting risk appetites. (Bloomberg)
