Bernstein lead analyst Gautam Chhugani envisions bitcoin\u2019s price <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/price-predictions\/bitcoin-price-eyes-100k-as-prediction-markets-wall-street-weigh-in\/\">reaching $125,000 by the year\u2019s end<\/a>. Chhugani also sees $150,000 BTC prices by mid-2027 and a possible top near the $300,000 zone. The Bernstein call is not a vibe prediction as it is based on a cycle model, a mining cost multiple, and a macro \u201cdebasement\u201d trade outlook.<\/p>\n<h2>Standard Chartered<\/h2>\n<p>Not too long before the Bernstein prediction, on Aug. 21, 2026, Standard Chartered\u2019s lead analyst, Geoff Kendrick, shared a note that $100K in 2026 is still plausible. \u201cFor the first time this year, there is now a risk my end year forecast (of USD100k) is too low,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/market-updates\/bitcoins-100k-forecast-may-be-too-low-after-record-short-squeeze\/\">Kendrick also detailed in his prediction<\/a>. The Standard Chartered market strategist also thinks that bitcoin\u2019s price could test the October 2025 high just above $126,000.<\/p>\n<h2>BitMEX Co-Founder Arthur Hayes<\/h2>\n<p>Bitcoin bull Arthur Hayes is very bullish. During a <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/YhAIsNespf8?si=Cgxe_hONEEyQlq_5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">discussion with Anthony Pompliano on Aug. 26<\/a>, Hayes said that a year-end price of $126,000 is not out of the question and $250,000 is in the cards because governments will \u201cprint early and print often.\u201d Hayes\u2019 BTC outlook has always been bullish, but the latest U.S. Treasury buyback plan seems to have fueled his positivity.<\/p>\n<h2>Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong<\/h2>\n<p>Bitcoin.com News recently <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/opinion-and-analysis\/coinbases-armstrong-vs-binances-cz-should-you-trust-their-bitcoin-price-calls\/\">reported on Armstrong taking a step down<\/a> from his previous $1 million per BTC price call. But on Aug. 20, during a Fox Business interview, the Coinbase boss said it\u2019s \u201cvery likely\u201d bitcoin will hit $300,000 to $400,000 per unit by 2030. The Fox Business interview suggests that Armstrong\u2019s prediction is based on the possibility of Clarity Act momentum and broader institutional market effects.<\/p>\n<h2>Gold Proponent and Economist Peter Schiff<\/h2>\n<p>Peter Schiff has been saying for years that bitcoin will be headed back toward $10,000 per coin and eventually to zero someday. Of course, this has never come to fruition, but Schiff is still calling out bitcoin in 2026. A few days ago, he said bitcoin\u2019s price rally would be temporary. \u201cNot sure what\u2019s behind today\u2019s sharp MSTR rally, though I suspect short-covering has a lot to do with it. Nonetheless, I stand by my \u2018death spiral\u2019 thesis, even if Strategy\u2019s life expectancy has been extended a bit by the temporary bitcoin rally,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PeterSchiff\/status\/2093042756893528575?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Schiff stated on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Dutch Crypto Analyst Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe<\/h2>\n<p>CIO and founder of MN Fund, Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe, explained on X this week that bitcoin could possibly reach $90,000, but he would not rule out a bull market correction. \u201cI think that we\u2019ll also see a push of bitcoin to at least $82,700, perhaps even $90,000,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CryptoMichNL\/status\/2093057210662162662?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">he wrote on X on Aug. 27<\/a>. \u201cDoes that rule out a heavy correction in September\/October? Definitely not. A standard 20-40% correction does happen in a bull market.\u201d The analyst noted that a consolidated trend could happen for \u201c2-4 months before we\u2019ll break towards all-time highs\u201d in another X post.<\/p>\n<h2>Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Commodity Strategist Mike McGlone<\/h2>\n<p>Mike McGlone believes that bitcoin\u2019s price will drop to $10,000 per coin, and he\u2019s been saying that quite often during BTC\u2019s bear market. McGlone has been a bit quieter lately <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/mikemcglone11\/status\/2087849197605122294\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">after stating on Aug. 13<\/a> that his \u201canalysis points to downside risk toward $10,000 unless bitcoin can sustain a move above $69,000.\u201d Which it did. Three days later, McGlone said, \u201cBitcoin showing comfort below $69,000, despite the record-setting stock market, may signal continued reversion toward $10,000.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Siebert Financial Senior Portfolio Manager Brian Vieten<\/h2>\n<p>In a note shared with Bitcoin.com News on Tuesday, Brian Vieten, senior portfolio manager <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/kakao-pay-taps-nasdaqs-siebert-to-bring-tokenized-korean-stocks-to-wall-street\/\">at Siebert Financial<\/a>, offered a very optimistic forecast. Siebert noted that he believes bitcoin could reach $175,000 in 2027. Basically, Vieten thinks bitcoin entered a new price cycle after the June 30 low, and with the latest rally, he does not expect the typical 80% drawdowns seen in previous bear markets. \u201cLooking ahead, we think the GENIUS Act\u2019s expected early 2027 implementation marks the next major adoption catalyst,\u201d Vieten explained.<\/p>\n<p>The lesson here is that bitcoin\u2019s price in the future has always been difficult to pin down, and while some have made solid predictions, many have not, no matter how confident anyone sounds. Bitcoin price <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/featured\/social-trading-predictions-point-to-cryptos-next-roaring-kitty\/\">predictions can be useful<\/a> for understanding people\u2019s expectations, but they should never be mistaken for certainty, especially in the crazy world of crypto assets and bitcoin. What we know for sure is that the leading crypto asset will likely continue surprising both bullish supporters and bearish critics, making patience and independent judgment especially important.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/price-predictions\/bitcoin-price-predictions-pit-400k-bulls-against-10k-bears\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Bitcoin\u2019s price rose 26% higher in 30 days, bringing newly found bullishness back to the bitcoin market.
