Wall Street analysts are sticking with year-end Bitcoin targets of $100,000 or higher, even after BTC briefly lost $60,000 and ETF outflows shook confidence in the bull case.
Key facts
- The package drove the Crypto Fear and Greed Index to 12, leaving Bitcoin more than 51% below its October 2025 all-time high, as US-traded spot ETFs shed roughly $4.4 billion in 13 consecutive outflow
- Standard Chartered's Geoffrey Kendrick is the only major institutional voice to have explicitly reaffirmed $100,000 after Bitcoin's crash below $60,000, with the next decisive test sitting
- Standard Chartered maintained its call for Bitcoin to reach $100,000 by Dec. 31, even after the cryptocurrency briefly fell below $60,000 last week for the first time since October 2024
- With Bitcoin trading around $63,400, reaching $100,000 by Dec. 31 would require roughly a 57.8% upside over approximately 206 days, about 0.22% compounded daily, or 7% per month
