Standard Chartered, Citi, and Bernstein have all reduced their Bitcoin price predictions for 2026. Standard Chartered now expects $100,000, Citi $113,000, and Bernstein has lowered its target to $125,000 for the cryptocurrency. Bitcoin needs to rise at least 16.4% from its current $85,896 by year-end to reach even the lowest target.
