Can Bitcoin Recover in 2026?

Bitcoin closed 2025 with losses, having erased its gains in the last quarter of the year. Despite an initial rise, the price fell by approximately 6% year-on-year, reaching $88,242. The decline was due to liquidations of highly leveraged positions and increasing economic uncertainty, including threats of tariffs from Donald Trump. However, Citi Research analysts predict a recovery in 2026, with a base case target of $143,000 and an optimistic scenario of $189,000. Factors that could contribute to the rise include the approval of more crypto ETFs and positive regulatory developments. The stability of the MicroStrategy's value-to-Bitcoin ratio is also considered a positive sign.
