The analyst expects BTC to reclaim 6-digit prices.
The new week and the final week of the first month of 2026 seem to have begun in a bearish move. Presently, the price of BTC is trading in the $87,000 price range, showing a drop in BTC prices by over 5% in the past 7 days. Amidst the continuous decline in prices, a crypto expert spots a super critical moment on the Bitcoin (BTC) price chart. Where will the price of BTC climb to next?
Crypto Expert Spots a Super Critical Moment on the Bitcoin Price Chart
The pioneer crypto asset, Bitcoin (BTC), has been highly debated over since it set its latest ATH price in the $126,000 price range in October 2025. Soon after this ATH record was set, the crypto market witnessed a sudden $20 billion liquidation event that wiped out all leverages and long trade positions. It even liquidated $3 billion in short positions. The event saw many altcoins drop by 90%.
In the aftermath, altcoin companies like Kadena filed for bankruptcy. So brutal was this dip that it was henceforth known as 10/10, the greatest liquidation event in crypto history. Since then, analysts have been split over what to expect next for the crypto market: a correction phase before a continued rally opening a path to new and higher ATH targets, or the start of the bear market?
At the moment, bearish analysts are calling for a continued fall in the price of BTC. According to them, the price of BTC will continue to decline until it hits the $70,000 price range by the second half of this year. What’s more, they believe this drop in price to be just the beginning of the bear market phase. Some even expect the price of BTC to drop to the $50,000 – $60,000 price range.
Where Will the Price of BTC Swerve Next?
On the other hand, bullish analysts believe BTC has the potential to hit much higher ATH targets before the bear market phase can arrive. This means that the first half of 2026 could lead to a massive surge in prices that can take the price of BTC to new ATH prices between $130,000 to $150,000, if not higher. This expectation comes from analysts and experts who believe a 5-year supercycle is playing out.

Wintermute: Energy is building in the crypto market, but the direction is unclear—there may be a sudden surge in trading activity.
Wintermute says the easing window for the situation is coming to an end. The cap on risk assets is lower than before, making it difficult for Bitcoin to stay above $700,000. If diplomatic progress goes smoothly and oil prices pull back, Bitcoin could rebound to $70,000–$74,000; if conditions deteriorate, it could fall to $60,000, or even to $50,000–$55,000. The extent of market volatility may exceed current pricing.

Jan3 CEO Samson Mow urges legislative yuan initiative: Taiwan’s central bank should buy Bitcoin reserves worth 1% of GDP, backing an ETF to launch first
Jan3 CEO Samson Mow was invited by lawmaker Ko Ju-jün, making his first appearance in Taiwan’s Legislative Yuan for a seminar presentation on “How Taiwan can build a Bitcoin reserve.” He suggested that Taiwan purchase 83,000 bitcoins as a strategic reserve asset, with the cost accounting for only about 1% of GDP. Ko Ju-jün said that Taiwan’s government has already inventoried the 210 bitcoins it currently holds (from seizures), and that the central bank’s stance has shifted from “Bitcoin is a scam” to “possibly.” Reserves have become a potential option.
（Background: Ko Ju-jün urged the central bank to plan a “stablecoin strategic reserve,” and Yang Chin-lung hinted: if time and space change, it will be adjusted ）
（Background addition: Dr. Bao, Ko Ju-jün: Bitcoin is a hot weapon of the digital age! Taiwan should include BTC in its reserves ）
