- *Context*: Fell from an August 2025 peak of $4,946. Year-to-date: -33% 5c95ce8a8ec9
*2. 2026 forecasts according to analysts*
*Bullish / Moderates*
- *Standard Chartered*: $4,000 for 2026. Previously: $7,500; now they see $7,500 again due to growth in stablecoins, RWA, and DeFi. Long term $40,000 for 2030
- *BTCC Emma*: Range $2,800 - $4,500. Factors: massive L2s, possible spot ETF, end of PoS
- *BTCC James*: Range $3,500 - $6,000. Moderate confidence due to institutional adoption + scalability ce8a78760dc1daf1
*Bearish / Cautious*
- *Benjamin Cowen*: A new all-time high in 2026 is unlikely if BTC is bearish. If it reclaims $4,878, it could be a "bull trap" and fall to $2,000
- *FXStreet/CryptoQuant*: Risk of a drop to $1,500 if that support breaks. Next: $1,200 and $881. Capitulation bottom near $1,400 according to Standard Chartered cda16f52ce8a
*Coinbase prediction market*: There’s a bet on whether ETH closes 2026 below $1,000 ff60

3. *Fundamentals*: Transactions and TVL near all-time highs for ETH. Dominance in stablecoins, RWA, and DeFi
