On Polymarket, the probability that Bitcoin will fall below $100,000 by the end of the year is 61%.

ChainCatcher news, although some analysts believe that the price of Bitcoin will reach $200,000 before 2026, most Polymarket bettors are betting that by the end of this year, the price of Bitcoin will fall below $100,000. As of Wednesday, traders betting on whether Bitcoin will fall below $100,000 this year believe the likelihood of falling below $100,000 is 61%. This figure is slightly lower than Monday’s prediction, when 72% of bettors predicted that the trading price of Bitcoin would fall below $100,000 again this year. Presto research analyst Min Jung stated: “So far, the massive sell-off by whales and long-term holders has met sufficient buyer demand—especially from corporate bonds and institutional allocators. However, if these large holders begin to close positions more aggressively, the key question is whether there are enough new entrants to absorb this supply. If demand fails to keep pace, a fall below $100,000 becomes more likely.” 21Shares cryptocurrency investment expert David Hernandez remarked: “The sell-off of Bitcoin is a sign of the market maturing. Ironically, while a significant pullback may dampen short-term enthusiasm, it could also catalyze a healthier market by redistributing supply from concentrated whales and corporations to a broader base of retail and institutional investors, ultimately strengthening Bitcoin’s long-term foundation.”
