Updated: Jan 10 2026- Market Divergence: As 2026 approaches, a significant divide emerges among global fund managers and crypto companies regarding Bitcoin's future, with some predicting a potential rise to $150,000 while others believe the bear market is not over, highlighting the complexity of market sentiment.
- Tech Stock Influence: Analysts suggest that Bitcoin may increasingly move in sync with U.S. tech stocks, and if tech stocks perform well, it could drive Bitcoin prices higher, potentially altering traditional bear market expectations and influencing investor decisions.
- Critical Support Level: Jurrien Timmer from Fidelity warns that Bitcoin's critical support level is at $65,000, and if breached, it could retreat to $45,000, indicating that the market may trade sideways for the next year, increasing uncertainty for investors.
- ETF Inflow Slowdown: Data from CryptoQuant shows that Bitcoin dipped below its one-year moving average in November 2025, entering a bear market, while the slowdown in inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs suggests that institutional demand remains cautious in the short term, which could pressure prices.
