BTC Sentiment Poll for 2026

[pawel7777]

The biggest hack in the history of crypto, and we are down only to a little below $77k? What happened to the "extremely volatile" part? Bitcoin seems way more robust than gold right now.
But seriously, if one of the most trusted exchanges can be hacked out of $6.3 billion just like that, that's not a good sign. Customers will probably get their funds one way or another, through a combination of the "SAFU" reserve, recovering frozen stablecoins and maybe from insurance, but it does seem like dealing with crypto gets progressively harder as we go. We had Ledger hard wallets spying implants situation not too long ago and now this.

I think the hack might not yet be fully priced in. I learned about its scale only just now. So it's possible we could see the price going a bit lower, but the market as a whole is definitely not so quick to overreact as it was few years ago.

Well...  Here you go guys.  Here's a simple but a challenging poll to start the year as promised in my December sentiment thread.    The poll will be open for three months but the thread will be open until the end of the year.

I hope this will spur a lot of interesting discussions from you guys.  Our monthly sentiment polls will start in February.  I just want to get this poll up to see what everyone says about 2026 during the first three of months of the year.

I had hoped for a very beautiful future for Bitcoin in 2026, especially with the way Bitcoin was moving forward at the current time, I really believed that Bitcoin might cross $100,000 by 2026, but today, because the Binance exchange was hacked and the most money was hacked, we have stopped moving towards that beautiful future. I don't know if the situation in the market will get worse. However, if the market situation is bad, then maybe we can't expect $100,000 by 2026, but if something good can be expected, then I definitely hope that Bitcoin will cross $100,000 by 2026.

Theres the perception and news as damage but also the effect of the new supply from BTC taken then sold onto order books at haste at any price.  I dont know thats the case yet but I presume as a theft they dont retain the BTC long.  Its possible DRK uses the BTC for exchange in trade I guess as North Korea is isolated from world trade so perhaps its even useful as a retained asset to them for the BTC utility.

This hack has indeed had a direct impact on the market, as it automatically triggered mass panic, leading to significant selling pressure that is likely to continue for some time to come. Binance is the top exchange, the news that it was hacked and that billions of dollars were stolen is deeply shocking, heartbreaking and alarming, raising fears that a repeat of the FTX incident could occur.

At first, Bitcoin showed a positive trend, although the price was rising slowly, it was steadily climbing and $100k was a realistic target for Bitcoin to reach in Q4 2026. However, the current bad news has caused this target to be delayed. As i write this, the Bitcoin price is at $76,930, hopefully it won’t break below $75k. Because if it does, the likelihood of it falling back toward $67k will increase significantly.

The Bitcoin market has been doing well since the end of 2026, but it is still in a somewhat stable state. In particular, we can see that the market has been somewhat stagnant due to the hacking of the world's largest crypto exchange. Although this is temporary, we are optimistic that the market will fully recover its lost position. The price of Bitcoin is likely to reach $100k in 2026, everyone expects this position for the price of the Bitcoin market. However, the market has not fallen much in comparison, it may soon touch $80k again, and the situation in the market will be better.

With what has happened in the crypto space about today's Binance hack, which happens to be the biggest crypto hack ever ($ 2.5 billion, still counting). I doubt Bitcoin will touch the $100k price tag by the end of this year, not to talk about setting a new ATH by December 31st.

Let's therefore keep our cool and buy Bitcoin at the discounted price we'll be seeing from today onwards till when the market decides to bounce back

100k is nearly impossible to happen. We have 75k as another support to break. So it's likely bitcoin to heading on that number, and i already forecasted this one in my post in the different thread last week.

Even if we jump after we hit 75k support, and it won't be going higher than 80k because it all must be going through a very long process.

I think bitcoin is likely moving up and down between 70k - 80k range until the end of this year.

I believe it takes some times for Binance to recover the hack, and it's the reason why i'm not going bullish at the end of this year. It most probably bitcoin to get stagnated at the current rate except another bad news to come.

Binance clearly has a lot of influence, but I reckon you are overstating it. Trading activity and liquidity are not concentrated on Binance alone. So the fact that they need time to sort out the damage doesn't mean Bitcoin needs just as long to bounce back.

The market is also driven by plenty of other factors, from the economy and politics to interest rates...All of these can push the market in different directions. So calling for BTC to trade sideways until year end based solely on what's happening at Binance is a pretty one sided take imo.

I'm not saying BTC will hit $100k by the end of the year, but I'm not ruling it out just because of the Binance hack either. We should zoom out, look at the big picture and see how the market plays out in the coming months.

My prediction is somewhere between $100K and $105K, based on a formula I saw on this forum. We’ll see what happens on December 31st. If btc hits my predicted price range, it means the formula works. If not, it means the formula is bullshit

Ooh, a formula? Sounds interesting. But one right call doesn't prove it actually works, just like one miss doesn't make it totally useless.

Markets are influenced by all sorts of factors, each phase has different ones at play. In other word, market does not follow any fixed pattern. So a formula can do great in one phase, then lose its edge once market conditions shift.

Anyway, let's see how it plays out on Dec 31st. Be sure to update us!

According to the market situation, since there are still two months left until the end of 2026, we can expect the price of Bitcoin to be $100k. Although the market has been going through a bit of a strong momentum in recent days due to the Binance hack, we can see that Binance has already been able to fully recover their hacked funds. In that case, the situation in the market is now getting better and it will not be in a recession for a long time, but the market is currently moving towards the top. Bitcoin has a great future, in that case, we will definitely meet the goal we are hoping for by the end of this year. However, if the market creates strong support and it continues to move forward gradually, it will not take much time to touch $100k, rather we expect the market to reach this position within these 2 months.
