Bitcoin faces volatility amid long-term bullish forecasts from Ark Invest
Bitcoin is experiencing significant market volatility, trading around the $82,000 to $84,000 range following recent price fluctuations. While the asset has faced downward pressure, including over $1 billion in combined Bitcoin and Ether ETF outflows during October, technical analysts at Blopfin Research suggest a new uptrend may be forming due to the recovery of the 50-week moving average.
Ark Invest maintains a long-term bullish outlook, with analysts predicting Bitcoin could reach between $750,000 and $800,000 by 2030. The firm expects average annual growth of 50% to 60% over the next five years, driven by the expansion of stablecoins and the tokenization of assets, a market currently estimated at $40 billion.
In South Korea, retail interest remains high despite price stagnation, with cumulative investments in digital asset accumulation services approaching 1 trillion won as of August 2026. Meanwhile, market sentiment has cooled, with the Crypto Fear and Greed Index dropping to a neutral reading of 56 on October 12, 2026, following a period of extreme greed.
