According to the latest consensus forecasts from several well-known institutions, by 2026, Bitcoin is expected to stabilize in the range of $120,000 to $170,000, with a median of about $150,000.

Under optimistic assumptions, it could surge to $200,000-$250,000, but if market sentiment reverses, it could also retrace to around $56,000. This wide fluctuation range reflects the current market uncertainty.

The real determining factors are a few key variables: the Federal Reserve's pace of interest rate cuts, the capital flow into institutional ETFs, and the policy orientation of global regulators. Also, don't forget political events like midterm elections, which have historically been variables that stir market sentiment. Overall, the upcoming period may see significant volatility, so risk management is essential.

Smiling through this loss, I am the perennial rookie prophet who always calls the wrong direction. Here are 5 distinctive comments: 1. From 56,000 to 250,000, the fluctuation range is so large that you could open a supermarket. As retail investors, let's just watch for fun. 2. It's the Federal Reserve and political events again. Bitcoin seems busier than the US president. Who can predict this? 3. Median of 150,000. Call it a scientific prediction in a nice way, or in a harsh way, even the big shots are guessing. 4. Risk contingency plan? I don't even have a plan, only illusions and instinctive reactions of the rookies. 5. Seeing this wide fluctuation, I know it's that season again where we pay tuition fees.

150,000 this number feels like a pie in the sky for retail investors --- It's the Federal Reserve and elections again, but honestly it's all about the flow of funds --- From 56,000 to 250,000? Can the forecast range be even bigger haha --- Institutions lowering their predictions indicate they were overhyping earlier --- Don't focus too much on these; the key is how much you can afford to lose --- Wait, 2026 isn't here yet, it's too early to bet now --- The term "risk contingency plan" is getting old, hearing it every day --- Falling from 200,000 to 56,000—this volatility is hard on my heart --- A median of 150,000 sounds stable, but reality often proves otherwise --- Fund flow is the real core; predictions are all just virtual

Fifty to two hundred fifty thousand? That kind of price difference takes a really big heart to sleep soundly. Institutions' forecast range is so wide it's like they're just talking nonsense; I might as well guess myself. Interest rate cuts, ETFs, elections... saying them is the same as not saying anything. Who knows which one will cause trouble first.

It's the same old prediction again, from 56,000 to 250,000. With such a huge gap in the middle, I could easily do some arbitrage... Taking a nap warning, I don't really want to bother with this.

5.6 to 250,000? That's an outrageous range, basically no prediction at all. Institutional forecasts are highly unreliable; it still depends on the Federal Reserve's stance. There are too many variables, honestly no one can truly predict. The midterm elections will definitely cause some turbulence, but the crypto community can pump anything. Let's wait and see; going all-in now is too risky.
