#数字资产市场动态 2026 Cryptocurrency Market: New Cyclical Opportunities for BTC and ETH



Currently, (the end of 2025), the entire community feels a bit quiet, but don’t be too pessimistic — 2026 is very likely to be a turning point. Continuous influx of institutional funds and accelerated technological iterations are two forces that together are likely to trigger a structural bull market.

Let’s first look at $BTC’s performance. Last year, it once broke through the $120,000 mark, then retreated to the $80,000-$90,000 range for repeated oscillations. Spot ETF inflows for the year exceeded $30 billion, which means that the new inflows are continuously absorbing the supply pressure of Bitcoin.

Entering 2026, a sideways upward trend is expected. In the first half of the year, it may still face profit-taking and seasonal suppression, with considerable adjustment risks; but in the second half, as liquidity improves, the rebound space will gradually open. Many leading institutions have target ranges of $120,000-$170,000, with a median around $150,000.

Why do we see it this way? Mainly because several support points are in place: the consensus that Bitcoin is "digital gold" is already quite solid, with many countries and large corporations worldwide considering including it in their reserve assets; plus, after last year’s halving, the annual new supply is tightening year by year, providing strong support from the supply and demand side. $BTC remains a relatively stable asset, suitable for investors looking to accumulate long-term positions; don’t expect a rocket-like surge similar to 2021 — that kind of market won’t come back.

However, risks must also be clearly understood. If macro policies tighten or regulatory policies fluctuate, prices could fall below $80,000 to find support — it’s important to have that bottom line in mind. Overall, the strategy should be steady and well-grounded, with mental preparation for long-term holding.

150,000 just for listening, don't really buy into the institutions' stuff... Anyway, let's see the real performance in the second half of the year.

150,000 seems okay, but whether it can really pick up in the second half of the year depends on the Federal Reserve's stance... I've been hearing about institutions accumulating positions with this explanation for years.
