These scenarios are not guarantees. They show the most likely path, the upside path, and the downside path based on the evidence available now.
The most likely path, plus upside and downside
Bitcoin stabilizes around current levels before showing gradual growth towards the end of 2026, supported by ongoing institutional investments.
If ARK Invest and others increase their exposure further, Bitcoin could see a strong rally, breaking previous resistance levels due to heightened investor interest.
Continued selling pressure from entities like GameStop, and a worsened market sentiment could lead to significant price drops, further eroding confidence in Bitcoin as an asset.
