Bitcoin price expected to rise toward $90,000 in second half of 2026

Analysts note that Bitcoin is trading around $65,000 in July 2026, about 39% lower year‑over‑year after last year's peak above $100,000. They describe the correction as typical for the cryptocurrency’s long‑term cycles, citing profit‑taking, heightened geopolitical uncertainty and a tighter U.S. monetary stance as contributing factors.

Many experts anticipate a rebound. The consensus outlook ranges from $50,000 to more than $120,000 by year‑end, with several forecasts targeting roughly $90,000. "If no accidental negative event occurs, Bitcoin is unlikely to fall below $60,000," said Wood & Company analyst Tomáš Kalabise. Others see the recent stabilization of demand and renewed interest from institutional ETF investors as signs that the market bottom may already have been reached, potentially ushering a new bullish phase as early as October.

Overall, the market is expected to move cautiously upward, with the most common projection hovering near $90,000, while still acknowledging the possibility of higher highs if capital inflows resume and monetary policy eases.
