BTC Sentiment Poll for 2026

[tokeweed]

I will go with Yes from the poll as anything is possible and likely to happen anytime soon, although I know that we all are just speculating about bitcoin price we can't really tell where the directions goes, or if it would repeat the previous year direction and as most times we often sees supper bull during the beginning of the year. Sometimes the bull comes at the ending of year after the year halving was carried out, but however, I give exact direction of bitcoin but I am just optimistic towards the direct of bitcoin and to what it would results in the next moment or year to  come, I was also surprised to see that it breaks out to nearly 94k which I was thinking that once it crosses that line then we would see potential bull run which may likely push it across 100k and above but after few hours as the candle closes for the day that was  how direction changes, and now it seems that there is strong resistance on the market where it is now keeping the price of bitcoin within the range of 89k-94k.

Good luck with that and tbqh...  I'm honestly now getting this feeling that the poll could end towards the yes votes even before I close it at the end of March. 

I went long BTC via perps in HL along with SOL.    Just small positions tho and keeping that stop loss close.  Not really convinced that we've seen the bottom yet.

Voted No despite the ongoing mini pump. At the moment of writing, the price approaches $96k, but I don't expect it to be a long-lived trend. The volume is not that high, and I read that the spike is news-driven, a reaction to the US inflation announcement. Inflation stayed steady and was in line with expectations, lowering the risk of an interest rate increase.
Sudden news-driven price actions tend to be followed by adjustments.
I don't expect today's increase to have the potential of reversing the downtrend we've been experiencing in the last 3 months.

Bitcoin heads into 2026 with real structure.liquidity conditions are improving, supply remains limited, and institutional demand hasn’t disappeared. That sets the stage for continued strength, if those drivers hold.
Then with the recent breakdown and a possible completed five-wave rally, the case for a longer correction is also on the table. Whether this cycle has one more leg higher or already topped, the next phase will be shaped more by mechanics than momentum

I voted "no" because I still believe the market cycle hasn't completely broken, despite some changes. Alongside this, it is easy to see that since the approval of ETFs, the market has become increasingly dependent on macroeconomic and political factors. Given escalating geopolitical tensions, persistent inflation, and high interest rates, I am not very optimistic about global economic growth in the coming year.

Therefore, my prediction and expectation is that the price of Bitcoin will fall this year, and it would be even better if it could drop below $40k. I see this as an opportunity rather than a disaster, as many people fear.

I can't decide, but I am more inclined to agree with your speculation. Like, even if we do not create a new all-time high, I can still see that we will not dump hard like below $60,000. Like we may have long winter market, more sideways ranging between $60,000 - $100,000.
It's really difficult to predict this market, especially since we already have a high market cap.

Yup, that's the thing about the poll.  It's so simple and hard at the same time that it makes everybody a bit hesitant to pick a vote. 

I mean it's supposed to be easy...  'Is BTC going to a new all time high in 2026 or not?'.  But even the 'smartest' people in BCT can't really pick one with strong conviction.  They even avoid the sentiment threads because these things have a tendency to make them look dumb.  Lol.

Yeah is actually nothing to be considered too serious and no need avoiding any of the sentiment threads, is actually fun to be speculating about Bitcoin regardless of whether it is going to happen or not, last year has ended and alot of people that closed their Bitcoin buying orders or those that sold earlier before the end of the last year might come back with a better positioning this year and including new investors that will be coming around, we have a lot time before the end of this year 2026 for me I am choosing that Bitcoin is going to make a new all time high this year 2026 and I have a strong conviction.

Yeah it could be a dead cat bounce for all we know.  The last hurrah for the big guys to sell their bags before down only mode.  Lol. 

What I'm thinking is it could go up slightly above 100k, everybody starts celebrating, BTC momentum starts fading then everybody wants to be the first guy out while it's above 100k and it sells down back below 90k. 

I mean I'd like for it to go to ATH and beyond and pretty sure you do too but it's really not up to us.
