Crypto altseaon unlikely in 2026 as ‘blue-chip survivors’ to win out: Analyst
An analyst predicts a limited altcoin rally in 2026, favoring established cryptocurrencies while another analyst forecasts a bear market.Summary
CoinEx Research chief analyst Jeff Ko predicts that the typical altcoin rally will likely be subdued in 2026, with liquidity primarily flowing to established “blue-chip” cryptocurrencies demonstrating real adoption. He anticipates modest global liquidity tailwinds, but believes Bitcoin’s correlation with the M2 money supply has weakened since the 2024 ETF launches, and forecasts a Bitcoin price target of $180,000 by 2026. However, veteran analyst Peter Brandt counters this optimism, predicting a continued bear market and a potential peak in September 2029, following a pattern of 80% declines after parabolic advances. Despite historical Q4 strength for Bitcoin, the current quarter shows a significant decline, though some analysts believe this indicates a clearing of excess risk and sets the stage for future strength. Bitcoin is currently trading around $88,000, down 30% from its October high.
