Bitcoin price in 2026?
💡 What the odds say
Most likely: $80K at about a 100% chance — almost certain.
The field is extremely concentrated at the top, with all candidates from $80K down to $60K at 100% probability, reflecting a market that expects Bitcoin to hit at least $60K in 2026; the biggest recent shift is the surge in odds for the $55K and $50K thresholds, likely driven by a U.S. Treasury Secretary fueling a Bitcoin price surge (Forbes, Jul 22) and nearly $1B in new ETF inflows (Bitcoin Magazine, Jul 22).
📊 Base rate: Bitcoin has historically experienced annual price swings of over 50% in most years since 2013, making a move from current levels (around $55K) to $60K or $80K plausible but not guaranteed.
What's driving it
- • The U.S. Treasury Secretary's comments, described as a 'major catalyst' (Forbes, Jul 22), have boosted sentiment and likely pushed odds higher for mid-range targets like $55K and $50K.
- • Bitcoin ETFs took in nearly $1B in new money (Bitcoin Magazine, Jul 22), signaling institutional demand that supports prices reaching $60K and above.
- • A Bloomberg report on July 22 notes that the Bitcoin slump is crushing companies that stockpiled tokens, which could create selling pressure and cap upside for higher targets like $80K.
Why the front-runners lead
- • The $60K threshold is at 100% because current spot prices are near $55K (Fortune, Jul 22) and the year is only half over, leaving ample time for a 10% rally.
- • The $70K and $80K thresholds are at 100% due to the combination of strong ETF inflows (Bitcoin Magazine, Jul 22) and a supportive Treasury Secretary (Forbes, Jul 22), which historically have preceded new all-time highs.
- • The $55K threshold is at 55% because the current price is around that level (Robinhood, Jul 22), making it a coin flip whether Bitcoin will touch that exact price again in the remaining months.
Why it's still open
- • The $50K threshold is only at 39% because a drop from current levels (~$55K) would require a negative catalyst, such as the ongoing slump crushing token-holding companies (Bloomberg, Jul 22) leading to forced selling.
- • The $45K threshold is at 27% because a 20% decline from current prices would need a major bearish event, like a regulatory crackdown or a macroeconomic shock, which is not currently priced in.
- • The field remains open for lower thresholds because the Bloomberg article (Jul 22) highlights real economic pain among Bitcoin-heavy firms, which could trigger a cascading sell-off if Bitcoin dips below $50K.
What to watch
- • The next Federal Reserve interest rate decision (likely late July 2026) could move Bitcoin prices; a rate cut would likely boost odds for higher thresholds, while a hike would increase odds for lower ones.
- • The upcoming U.S. midterm elections (November 2026) could introduce regulatory uncertainty; a crypto-friendly outcome would push odds up for $70K+, while a hostile stance would favor $50K and below.
- • Any major exchange hack or stablecoin depegging event (no specific date) would likely crash prices, raising odds for $45K and $40K thresholds.

How it resolves
Resolved by whoever created the market, at their discretion per the question's description. It's play-money (Mana) and not tied to an official source — treat it as a community forecast.
Resolution criteria
The market resolves “Yes” if Bitcoin (BTC) reaches or exceeds/below listed price in USD at any point in 2026, based on data from Coinbase. The price must be reflected as the high/low price in any 1-minute candlestick during the year. If Bitcoin does not hit listed price during 2026, the market resolves “No.” Primary source (API) Example: https://api.exchange.coinbase.com/products/BTC-USD/candles?start=2026-02-05T22:00:00Z&end=2026-02-06T02:00:00Z&granularity=60 Required URL parameters: start — ISO8601 UTC start time (e.g., 2026-02-05T22:00:00Z) end — ISO8601 UTC end time (e.g., 2026-02-06T02:00:00Z) granularity — seconds per candle (e.g., 60 for 1-minute bars) Response: [ time, low, high, open, close, volume ] curl -X GET "https://api.exchange.coinbase.com/products/BTC-USD/candles?start=2026-02-05T22:00:00Z&end=2026-02-06T02:00:00Z&granularity=60" Resolution Date & Time: December 31, 2025, at 23:59 PT, or earlier if Bitcoin crosses listed price at any time during the month. Update 2026-02-05 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Data Source Specification: The creator will use the Coinbase API (https://api.coinbase.com/v2/prices/BTC-USD/historic) as the authoritative data source for determining exact Bitcoin prices, rather than relying on visual charts or rounded displays on Coinbase's website interface. Update 2026-02-05 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): API Data Takes Precedence Over All Other Sources: The creator will strictly rely on the Coinbase API for price resolutions, even when other data sources (including Coinbase's own website interface, advanced trader charts, or TradingView) show different values. In cases where the API shows a rounded price (e.g., 60000.005 rounds to 60000.01), the market will resolve based on the API's reported value, not the exact threshold price. Update 2026-02-05 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Specific API Endpoint for 1-Minute Candle Data: The creator will use the Coinbase Exchange API endpoint https://api.exchange.coinbase.com/products/BTC-USD/candles with granularity=60 (1-minute candles) to determine the exact high/low prices for resolution, rather than other Coinbase API endpoints or data sources.

Which price will Solana hit in July?
The $70 target leads at 30%, but the field is far from decided; the single largest recent shift appears to be the mixed impact of a record stablecoin market cap and a $1.65M exploit on the same day (July 20), which may have widened the probability spread.

Will Bitcoin to cross $100,000 USD again in 2026?
Despite bullish predictions for a September turnaround, Bitcoin's price languishes near $63k, far from $100k, and a death cross in March has dampened hopes for a 2026 recovery. The market assigns only a 25% chance, reflecting skepticism that any near-term catalyst can fuel a 58% rally.
Yes ≈ 25% chance
What will be the price of Bitcoin at the end of 2026?
The field is heavily concentrated in the $60k–$90k range (81% combined), with the leading $60k–$75k bracket at 53% — a bet that Bitcoin's bear market bottoms and recovers modestly by year-end, but does not break out above $105k (only 6%). The biggest recent shift is the 53% leader absorbing share from the $75k–$90k and below-$60k bins, likely driven by the July 18 report of massive call spreads targeting $72,000 around the Fed meeting (CoinDesk, Jul 18) and the July 24 analysis suggesting the bear market may end before the four-year cycle predicts (Bitcoin Foundation, Jul 24).
