Wall Street's $150K Bitcoin Calls for 2026 Are Quietly Falling Apart
- —Bitcoin needs an 87% gain from about $80,100 to reach the $150,000 year-end target
- —Citi cut its 12-month target to $82,000 and lowered its ETF inflow assumption to zero
- —Standard Chartered trimmed its target to $100,000; Bernstein sees $125,000 by end-2026
- —Bitcoin trades roughly 37% below its all-time high of about $126,223
Why it matters: Big banks quietly revising targets signals weakening institutional conviction and tempers expectations for a year-end rally.
