As we approach the new year, know that there will be many bold predictions we will see on the internet both positive and negative ones. You might see people saying bitcoin will finally approach $500k next year or some might say bitcoin will drop drastically. But that might not even be really the case. Bitcoin might just move sideways. But still do not be easily swayed.
Anyone saying Bitcoin will hit $500k this 2026 has no idea about the Bitcoin market. $200k is very slim for BTC to hit this 2026 let alone this $500k. There might be many speculation about Bitcoin reaching $200k+ next year, but I bet they have really no idea about the pattern of BTC. They are just posting or publishing exaggerated prices to get attention.
But, regardless of the trend of BTC, I can say that it is always best to DCA, it will average itself if we do it regularly, and give us a good fortune after a halving or two.
We've experienced several Bitcoin halvings, but judging by the pattern it's highly unlikely that Bitcoin will reach $500,000 this year. This kind of speculation is baseless and overly exaggerated. Indeed, Bitcoin is the best asset to date and it has already seen widespread adoption. However, speculation requires sound reasoning and sound analysis.
We haven't even crossed $150,000, so how can we predict Bitcoin will reach $200,000 or even $500,000? It's possible Bitcoin could reach that figure, but it's unlikely this year. So speculate sensibly and don't overdo it. Rather than over-speculating it's better to continue doing DCA.
