BlockBeats News, January 3rd, the Galaxy Digital research team released a 2026 forecast stating that Bitcoin hitting a new all-time high in 2026 is still possible. The options market currently prices in around $70,000 or $130,000 equally likely by the end of June 2026, and around $50,000 or $250,000 equally likely by the end of 2026. These wide ranges reflect the short-term uncertainty. Downside risks still exist in the short term until BTC firmly reclaims the $100,000 to $105,000 level.
