Lark Davis: BTC unlikely to be the best investment choice for most in 2026–2027
Lark Davis is of the opinion that for the majority of investors it would not be wise to put money into Bitcoin in 2026 or 2027; in his view BTC has come to resemble a high-risk stock and no longer serves as an asset for capital protection.
At present, Bitcoin is in the $80,000 range, about 33 percent off the $126,000 mark it reached in October 2024. Davis points to the end of the last cycle in June or July 2023 as evidence, when a 54% fall from its then peak put BTC at $58,000. One would expect a more punishing 70 to 90% drawdown in a bear market of the past, but he attributes the milder decline to the advent of ETFs and the involvement of institutional investors.
That kind of institutional participation has left Bitcoin at the mercy of interest rates and the fluctuations of the stock market, taking away some of its safe haven qualities. Should BTC continue to behave as a risk asset, Davis does not foresee another all-time high with its attendant 200% upside before 2028. In a risk-on climate, altcoins such as Ethereum or Solana might provide better returns for those seeking quick profits, albeit with greater downside exposure. All in all, while Bitcoin is still something to consider for capital preservation, Davis would not make it his first choice for the aggressive investor in the years ahead.
VirtualBacon: bitcoin targets $90k as new bullish trend emerges after correction
VirtualBacon’s author has put forward the view that a fresh bullish trend is in place for Bitcoin in the wake of its latest correction, with an eye on a $90,000 rally. The host of VirtualBacon sees the momentum there as something that should translate into considerable gains for other cryptocurrencies as well.
In his assessment, the correction is over and an upward trajectory has begun. He considers $90,000 a reasonable target for the next leg up, but he does have some reservations; he will not say for certain when the correction has fully played out, whether before or after the midterms. As for the altcoin market, the host thinks the coming Bitcoin rally will be enough to generate some enthusiasm and set the stage for substantial growth. It is not a sure thing, he concedes, but the most likely scenario once the correction is over is a move to $90k.
Crypto World: risk of BTC drop below support with possible test of $79,000 soon
Bitcoin is not out of the woods, says the host of Crypto World, and continues to be under pressure despite the brief recovery in US equities. With bearish signals still present, the author warns of a potential fall to $79,000 before too long.
Even as the NASDAQ 100 index shows a short-term bullish divergence, the analyst sees Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies struggling. Such a divergence might offer some respite to risk assets, but the overall direction for Bitcoin remains weak.
A technical analysis of Bitcoin and Ethereum reveals a bearish divergence, or at least a lack of any real bullish momentum. The host of the channel suggests that support could give way for Bitcoin, and the $79,000 level is at risk of being tested in the days ahead. There is no relief for the rest either; Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Chainlink are all being pushed to their support levels with further weakness expected.
The Moon Show: buying BTC at market lows by selling spare assets for long-term gains
A core tenet of any plan to see the best returns from crypto is to put spare assets to work in Bitcoin when the market is down, says The Moon Show host. He has been known to part with his cars for BTC and encourages others to do the same.
In previous cycles, the host has made a practice of turning non-essential property into Bitcoin at low prices, and he regards it as fundamental to building wealth. To be successful in the crypto world, one must time the market—buying in a downturn and selling when the cycle peaks, he maintains.
His advice to his audience is to rechannel capital from things they can do without into Bitcoin while there are market lows on the horizon; it should be well worth it come the next bull run. As that bullish phase nears, the author sees this as the way to make the most of your profit, provided you have the sense to read and act on the market’s cycles.
Tyler S: potential drop to $70,000 before major rally above $90,000
Tyler S is of the opinion that a full bull run for Bitcoin will be preceded by a sizeable correction. The host of the channel cautions that conditions in the market at present might see BTC drop as low as $70,000 before any rally gets under way.
For four weeks running, he has put Bitcoin in the ‘red zone’, a sign of the apathy and pessimism that pervade the market. In Tyler S’s view, this kind of correction can give rise to an inverse head and shoulders pattern, the sort of thing one would expect to herald a turn to bullishness. Should BTC come to rest at $70,000, the trader considers it a support level of some importance and a good place to buy. After the correction has run its course and an inversion is in evidence, his forecast is for a move above $90,000. He points to other sources of near-term volatility as well, not least the question of how governments and the military are prepared for AI cyberattacks.
Crypto Tips: BTC eyes further growth after $79,000 dip despite market panic
The host of Crypto Tips is of the opinion that Bitcoin’s latest slide to $79,000 will not last long and the market is set for more gains. In the view of this expert, there is a bullish case to be made as fresh capital makes its way into Bitcoin even if investors are panicking.
There has been no shortage of anxiety over Bitcoin’s precipitous fall to $79,000, with some put off by the prospect of it going lower. The analyst at Crypto Tips believes that the correction is due to heavy-handed actions by large players, who may be positioning themselves ahead of any geopolitical trouble or the introduction of CBDCs.
As for strength, one need only look at Bitcoin’s 60.14% share of the $2.67 trillion crypto market cap. And though Ethereum is thought by some to be in a position to supplant Bitcoin, Crypto Tips does not foresee that occurring in this cycle. With global instability and a move away from risk assets, the expert considers Bitcoin an appealing safe haven; wealthy and diplomatic circles are turning to it for security given the tensions in the Middle East.
Crypto Capital Venture: potential drop to $73,000 if inverse head and shoulders fails to form
A Bitcoin drop below $73,000 or more is possible should an inverse head and shoulders pattern fail to form, says the Crypto Capital Venture author.
The analyst cautions that both it and Ethereum are subject to a major correction in the absence of such a formation. The 200-day moving average at $73,000 is the level to watch for Bitcoin; any weakness there could lead to further losses.
What one would like to see is a well-defined inverse head and shoulders, but so far it has not materialized. Instead, Ethereum might be forced to test its own 200-day moving average and fall as low as $1,500, in line with the 61.8-78.6 Fibonacci retracement. Given how many fake-outs have occurred since the bull run, the analyst emphasizes that these are scenarios to be prepared for.
Incrypted: BTC eyes $82,500–85,000 after forming potential triple bottom
The author of Incrypted suggests that Bitcoin’s preeminence is a sign of a stable market, one that could move higher if a triple bottom pattern develops.
Arthur of Incrypted Plus has noted the steadiness of Bitcoin dominance in the 60.5 to 61 percent range, even as the rest of the market remains rather quiet. In line with a cautious approach given the recent sideways trend, the team did not make any BTC trades last week.
Still, Arthur believes that what he calls the ‘drip’ movement may signal the start of a bull market, especially if Bitcoin forms a triple bottom. He is watching for an upside to $82,500 or possibly as high as $85,000. A long position in BTC returned 8% last week and did so without any significant correction. This week may be different, with the crypto markets influenced by the Fed rate decision, US GDP and PCE figures, as well as ongoing geopolitical news. As for indicators, Tether dominance and the parallel channel are worth monitoring.
Cointelegraph: BTC target set at $48,888 ahead of next bull market cycle
Cointelegraph reports that Wacker Zakka, a crypto authority, has set the $48,888 mark for Bitcoin ahead of the coming bull market. For him, it is not a matter of luck but of good decisions that will determine one’s success in trading.
The recent winner of the Wex Tradfi Master competition believes that to make progress in traditional or crypto finance, one must have an aptitude for adaptive risk management and an understanding of human behaviour. He points to the current conditions as a ‘black swan’ event, with equities, oil, and yields all on the rise; in such an environment, a degree of flexibility in one’s approach is necessary.
Zakka sees $48,888 as a key level for Bitcoin before the next bull run. With his civil engineering and business background, he urges traders to reject any notion of luck in favor of informed, disciplined decision-making and to be prepared to adjust to what the market presents.
DataDash: bitcoin could retest $76,000 support before resuming its uptrend
A Bitcoin pullback to around $76,000 by the end of the year is a possibility, says the DataDash host, in what would be a healthy correction after the asset’s recent run-up.
The analyst at DataDash sees no reason why BTC should not retrace to that $76,000 mark before the year is out; it is a natural enough move after the $83,000 high reached during the third quarter of 2026. Such a move would place the coin in the $75,000-77,000 support zone, where one can anticipate buyers will make their presence felt.
On the horizon, there is resistance at about $93,000, which DataDash considers a formidable obstacle to further upside. The mid-term picture is still bullish, but the analyst recommends using technical analysis and paying attention to market levels to find the right point of entry or exit. In the meantime, the word from DataDash is to be ready for some volatility and to see corrections as a chance to add to one’s holdings of Bitcoin or Ethereum.
CryptoJack: further BTC drop expected toward $75,000 amid bearish weekly close
The host of CryptoJack would have one believe that Bitcoin is in for more downside given the bearish nature of its weekly close and the fact that it has been unable to hold above $82,000. In the near term, the analyst expects to see the price move toward the 50-week moving average.
For his part, CryptoJack considers the sub-$82,000 weekly close a worrying sign of mounting bearish momentum and has taken on $24,600 in short positions, having entered around the local high of $86,900.
Looking at what has happened in the past, the trader says it is not uncommon for Bitcoin to return to the 50-week moving average once it has been breached. A fall to $75,000 is possible, a figure JP Morgan has also suggested. Then there are the US elections on the horizon; CryptoJack cautions they may be the catalyst for further corrections similar to those seen in previous cycles.
MMCrypto: short-term downside targets $72,000 after support breaks, long-term outlook bullish
The host of MMCrypto claims that Bitcoin has broken support at $82,135, opening the door to further downside, even for those with a positive long-term outlook.
On the weekly chart, there is a W pattern that MMCrypto has confirmed, yet the technical breakdown below the $82,135 mark could see the price drop to $72,000. The trader is not surprised by what he calls a ‘bloody’ situation; the technicals indicate short-term weakness.
For the medium to long term, however, the trends in Bitcoin are still positive according to MMCrypto. Those looking to enter the market should watch for support at $79,000 or $76,000. As for open positions, the analyst reports profits in both Ethereum and Bitcoin, with XRP being the exception, showing a negative result.
The Modern Investor: potential surge to $1,000,000 in three years amid economic crisis
The Modern Investor puts forward the view that a confluence of debt and inflation may well be the catalyst for an economic crisis of some magnitude, one that would see Bitcoin’s price soar in the years ahead.
Economists have issued warnings that US inflation figures are being understated; the publication notes estimates as high as 15 to 21 percent on an annual basis. Add to that the erosion of purchasing power and increasing debt, and it is no surprise that those in developing nations are moving into Bitcoin from their local currencies to hedge against inflation. In Indonesia, the devaluation is such that a billion rupiah will buy only 0.7 BTC.
On the institutional side, there is a rush to get into Bitcoin, with Strive having invested $335 million recently. The channel has quoted experts who think a mass exodus to crypto in the event of a crisis could put Bitcoin at $1,000,000 in three years’ time. A bullish case is made by the likes of JP Morgan as well, which is among the banks predicting Bitcoin will outperform other assets.
Ilya Mescheryakov: potential drop to $76,000 after breaking $84,000 support
Ilya Mescheryakov is of the opinion that a break below $84,000 would put Bitcoin in line for a drop to $76,000. The author of the channel suggests traders close out some altcoin holdings given the bearish signals on display.
In Mescheryakov’s view, the price structure of Bitcoin is indicative of a bearish reversal to come; should BTC be unable to hold the $84,000 support, he expects it will make way for a move down to $76,000. There is a bullish case to be made for a swift reclamation of important levels, but the analyst does not put much stock in that happening any time soon.
Consolidation by BTC above $87,000 has been accompanied by more position closing, which to Mescheryakov means traders are bracing for a downturn. He has already done as much with his own portfolio, getting out of JPY, TRX, and partially UNI because of the negative outlook. Solana is due for another leg down in his estimation after turning from its $124 local top. As for UNI, the 4-hour chart presents a bearish picture, though one has to watch what Bitcoin does.
Crypto Rover: BTC support eyed at $78.9k amid volatility from US elections and oil prices
Crypto Rover, the channel host, has called for high volatility in Bitcoin this week due to the US midterm elections and what he sees as an oil price surge. In his view, BTC will come under pressure, with $78,900 being the key support.
The political uncertainty surrounding the US elections and the lack of stability in the oil markets are, according to Crypto Rover, the main reasons this could be one of the more volatile weeks for Bitcoin. He foresees the Democrats taking over both the House and the Senate, which would have implications for US policy in the Middle East and, by extension, oil prices, not to mention some added turbulence in the market.
From a technical standpoint, he is seeing about $20 million in buy orders at the $79,000 mark and considers $78,900 to be important support. Should BTC go under $79,000, he intends to open a short position. A move below $75,000 would present a good chance to buy, given the liquidity and support there. He also stresses that one should watch the volumes to get a read on support and resistance.
Thinking Crypto: bulls maintain control on higher timeframes despite daily chart weakness
Tony Edward of Thinking Crypto would have one believe the case for Bitcoin is still a bullish one, in spite of some weakness on the daily chart of late. The host says that if one looks at the higher timeframes, the bulls are in the ascendant.
Bitcoin was in the vicinity of $80,000 when this was recorded. Edward observes that momentum has waned and there is short-term hesitation to be seen, even as the daily MACD nears a bullish turn. He attributes some of that to the S&P 500 and Nasdaq; their softness has an effect on crypto given the strong correlation between them.
Then again, the weekly MACD has yet to lose its bullish stance and the RSI is neutral, not to mention the bullish divergence in evidence. For his part, Edward counsels patience. “Even in a bull market you will see 20 to 30 percent pullbacks,” he says by way of reminder. There are regulatory matters to consider as well for long-term growth in the sector: the SEC has made tokenization a priority in its 2027 infrastructure reviews and Latvia’s economic minister is anticipating new rules on the matter in the coming year.
CryptoWendyO: bitcoin hovers at $80,000 support amid market uncertainty
CryptoWendyO sees Bitcoin hovering at the $80,000 support and says it is a sign of unease in the crypto market at large. The host points to the fact that base coins are holding their own for the most part even as altcoins make their way down.
In what amounts to sideways action around $80,000 for Bitcoin, CryptoWendyO has noticed a corresponding drop in altcoins, with base coins being the exception. Should BTC give way and fall to $76,000, the expert cautions, expect to see much heavier losses among the alts. Then there is the matter of Elon Musk’s recent remarks on curbing stock market financing for companies lacking solid revenue; these are put forward as something that could stir up trouble in the markets.
One does not have to look far for other risks, with the cyberattack on the Japanese markets being a case in point, so traders are well advised to be circumspect. Yet for all the uncertainty, there are some AI plays like Venice, Near, Pyth, Quantum Compute, and Injective that are doing well, in CryptoWendyO’s view. As for Bitcoin, the daily chart tells a story of a downtrend, having made its way to $78,000 to satisfy the short sellers.
Benjamin Cowen: bears take control as BTC falls below $83,000 support
Benjamin Cowen, the channel host, is of the opinion that with Bitcoin’s price falling below important levels, the bears are once again in the ascendant. In fact, Cowen cautions that should the bulls be unable to reclaim what they have lost, the latest price action may be a precursor to further downside.
At present, Bitcoin is in the vicinity of $80,000. Cowen asserts that two consecutive weekly closes below $83,000 would confirm the bears’ hold on the market. The asset has also given back its gains from the May 2023 high and is now below it, which in his view heightens the prospect of a sustained drop.
As for support, the analyst puts the range between $72,000 and $76,000. Yet he is quick to add that a drop to $60,000 before any recovery could signal trouble ahead. There is also the matter of post-midterm election pullbacks; historically, Bitcoin has been prone to them and Cowen does not rule out a repeat this year. He makes it clear that without a move above $83,000, one can expect further downside, especially if the Fed holds off on an October rate hike. But then again, as Cowen points out, market fractals do not replicate themselves perfectly and what transpires may not follow previous cycles.
