Analyst Predicts When Bitcoin Price Will Reach $100,000 In 2026

A crypto analyst has shared a detailed forecast outlining when Bitcoin could regain bullish momentum and climb back toward $100,000. The expert mapped out the asset’s expected monthly price targets throughout 2026, highlighting periods of sharp sell-offs and a potential recovery phase.

While some months point to extreme price declines and market uncertainty, the forecast suggests Bitcoin may gradually rebuild strength and enter a fresh uptrend that could push it back toward six-figure territory.

Bitcoin Price Forecast From June To September 2026

In an X post published on June 3, crypto market analyst Aralez presented his outlook for Bitcoin in 2026, detailing where he believes the leading cryptocurrency could trade throughout the year. The analyst noted that BTC is still in a strong bear market until a final bottom is reached. According to him, both the second quarter (Q2) and third quarter (Q3) are likely to remain bearish, with Bitcoin set for further declines.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading near $60,000 after shedding more than 17% over the past week. During this period, BTC has struggled under mounting selling pressure, weakening market sentiment, and broader geopolitical uncertainty tied to the ongoing US-Iran conflict. Aralez believes this downturn may not be over, forecasting that Bitcoin could finish June with a major bearish sweep toward the $60,000 level.

Supporting his bearish stance with a well-detailed chart, the analyst expects an even steeper decline for Bitcoin in July. He predicts that BTC could fall to as low as $53,000, marking a drop of more than 11% from the $60,000 support area.

Aralez described the projected move as a major bear trap, where traders are lured into expecting a prolonged breakdown before the market eventually reverses to the upside.

Drawing from this, the crypto expert sees the possibility of a short-lived relief rally by August. He predicted that Bitcoin could rebound into the $65,000-$68,000 range, though that move may end up becoming a significant bull trap, as the analyst’s outlook for next month points to another sharp decline.

Notably, Aralez’s October forecast appears to mark the end of Bitcoin’s bearish cycle. The analyst projects a final market bottom near $46,000, a level representing a decline of more than 23% from Bitcoin’s current price of near $60,000. According to his projection, this capitulation event could set the stage for a broader market recovery later in the year.

BTC Recovery Plan Targets $100,000 By December 

For all of Q4 2026, Aralez forecasts a strong recovery for Bitcoin, with prices potentially climbing back toward $100,000. He predicts this rebound to begin in October, with the price officially breaking out of its current downtrend and steadily moving upward.

By November, Aralez projects Bitcoin could rally above $85,000, a level that would confirm a renewed bull market. After clearing this resistance, stronger bullish momentum could extend into December, with the analyst suggesting a possible move toward the $100,000 psychological level, representing roughly a 65% gain from current levels.
