Bernstein: #Bitcoin at $125K by December 2026 Is It Realistic? Bernstein expects $BTC to reach $125K by the end of 2026. From the current price of around $80,875, that would require another 54.5% gain in four months. However, the target has already been cut from $150K. Moreover, $125K would only bring Bitcoin back to its October 2025 all-time high not set a new record. Bernstein’s key arguments: ▪️ U.S. government debt is approaching $40 trillion ▪️ Currency debasement increases demand for scarce assets ▪️ Institutional demand continues through spot ETFs ▪️ 59% of the BTC supply has not moved for over a year ▪️ Strategy controls roughly 4% of the total supply However, current market data does not yet confirm a move toward $125K: ▪️ The $83K–$86K zone remains strong resistance ▪️ Max pain for upcoming options expiries is around $69K–$70K ▪️ Spot trading volumes remain near multi-year lows ▪️ The rally has been driven largely by short liquidations and ETF flows rather than broad organic demand ▪️ High Treasury yields and a hawkish Fed remain major risks My year-end scenarios: 🟡 $70K–$95K 40% 🔴 $60K–$70K 35% 🟢 $95K–$110K 25% Reaching $125K would require an extended breakout, consistent ETF inflows, and a meaningful recovery in spot demand. I estimate the probability of that scenario at roughly 10–15%. Bottom line: Bernstein’s $125K target is not a market promise it is an optimistic scenario that has already been downgraded from $150K.
