Kalshi Traders Now See Only 18% Chance Bitcoin Hits $50K Before $100k

Prediction market odds have shifted sharply in Bitcoin’s favor.

On Kalshi, the contract asking whether Bitcoin will reach $50,000 before $100,000 now sits at just 18.1%. That is a steep drop from much higher probabilities earlier in the year.

The market is essentially a race: which price does Bitcoin touch first? A falling percentage means traders increasingly believe $100,000 is more likely to come before another drop to $50,000.

The change tracks the recent rebound that lifted Bitcoin from the mid-$60,000s back toward $80,000. As price recovered and sentiment improved, the chance of a deep correction to $50K first has been priced down.

It is one of the clearer real-time sentiment gauges available, showing how quickly expectations can flip when momentum returns.
