2026 Year of the Horse Bitcoin Outlook: Extended Cycles, Unwavering Faith

Just finished checking my wealth value at Gate Plaza—9986! I interpret this number as: a $90,000 BTC is just the starting point, with a 98% profit expectation, holding patiently for 6 months.

Standing at the beginning of 2026, Bitcoin's narrative is subtly shifting:

1. Cycle Logic
The traditional four-year halving cycle may be extended to five years for the first time. Crypto analyst Miles Deutscher points out that business cycle theory suggests that 2026 will be the top of this bull market. This means we need to adjust our strategy—from “explosive growth after halving” to “gradual profit-taking and extended holding.”

2. Opportunities Amid Institutional Divergence

· JPMorgan: Maintains a long-term target price of $266,000, considers $77,000 as a cost support level, and expects institutional inflows to rebound
· Standard Chartered: Short-term bearish to $50,000, but still targets $100,000 by year-end

This divergence is precisely an opportunity—while Wall Street debates, on-chain data signals that stablecoins account for 8%, and off-chain funds waiting on the sidelines exceed $100 billion. Once macro conditions improve, liquidity will flood in rapidly.

3. Macro Catalysts
If the US CLARITY Act passes, it will clarify the crypto regulatory framework; long-term capital allocations like pensions to Bitcoin ETFs are only a matter of time; the strategic reserve narrative is still fermenting.

My strategy: 60% of my position in Bitcoin to stabilize, not fearing short-term volatility, waiting for the $150,000–$250,000 Altcoin Daily target range. The wealth value of 9986 is my confidence index.
