Bitcoin is preparing for a significant rise: prospects for 2026

Crypto market analysts are drawing attention to Bitcoin’s potential in early 2026. According to experts from Global Macro Investor, the coming months could bring significant positive shifts. The current Bitcoin price is $90.81K, but forecasts suggest much higher peaks.

Technical signals: RSI and historical patterns

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) — one of the key indicators of an asset’s momentum in the market — recently dropped below the critical level of 30, signaling overselling. Interestingly, this situation has occurred only five times since 2023. In each case, a substantial bullish movement followed the decline.

Julien Bittel, head of macro research, points out this pattern. According to his calculations, if history repeats itself, the market momentum could trigger Bitcoin to rise to $170,000 within three months.

From bottom to top: the context of price formation

Bitcoin reached a peak of $126,080 in early October but then experienced a prolonged period of seller pressure. By November 22, the price stabilized around $84,000, allowing the cycle of intense sell-offs to close and creating a foundation for a potential upward movement.

ETF as a growth driver

Matt Hugan, Chief Investment Officer of Bitwise, describes the prospects of crypto ETFs as “extremely optimistic.” Major brokers are already actively entering this market, and 2026 could set a new record for capital inflows into crypto ETF products.

This confluence of factors — technical signals, the behavior of major players, and institutional play for ETFs — creates conditions for a noticeable market recovery.
