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 sees moderate price drops with inflows maintaining above $1 billion weekly, leading to a tentative recovery in the following months.
Should inflows into crypto funds continue to rise, Bitcoin could reclaim and exceed the $100,000 mark, buoyed by growing institutional adoption.
If geopolitical tensions escalate and inflows decrease, Bitcoin could decline further, potentially falling below $80,000.
