Those holding bearish views include: veteran trader Peter Brandt, who believes Bitcoin will fall to $60,000 in the third quarter of 2026; and Jurrien Timmer, head of global macroeconomic research at Fidelity, who says 2026 could be a "depressing year" for Bitcoin, with prices potentially falling to the $65,000 range.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Galaxy Research Director Alex Thorn stated on the X platform that for Bitcoin to achieve positive returns in 2025, its price must close above $93,389 on the last trading day of the year. Currently, investor sentiment towards Bitcoin is undoubtedly low, although some portfolio managers may reassess Bitcoin in January 2026. This year has seen a number of positive developments for Bitcoin, which seem to have become the norm. Despite a lackluster year-end performance, US Bitcoin ETPs have been much more stable, with inflows decreasing by only 9% since reaching an all-time high of $62 billion in October, further highlighting the asset class's increasing maturity. Galaxy believes it's only a matter of time before Bitcoin follows gold as a hedge against currency devaluation, and several large asset allocators and central banks may ignite this trend.
