Discussions about the value of Bitcoin potentially doubling in 2026 have resurfaced across the cryptocurrency community, and as usual, the most heated debates are unfolding on X. However, between chart-heavy optimism, macroeconomic caution, and some bold predictions, analysts seem split on whether BTC can realistically achieve a 2x move next year.
A Wave of Bullish Voices Takes Over Bitcoin Price Prediction
Crypto market expert Altcoin Daily has made a bold prediction about the Bitcoin price in a recent X post, speculating that the premier cryptocurrency could surge to twice its current value by next year. Interestingly, the bullish prediction emerged when BTC crashed below the $90,000 region, driven by intense volatility and increased sell pressure.
However, Altcoin Daily is not the only expert showing this bold optimism for BTC, as several renowned crypto analysts have been pushing the “2x in 12 months” narrative, including Dan Morehead of Pantera Capital.
Drawing on classic Bitcoin cycle theory, Dan argues in an interview that the post-halving period still has plenty of upside to offer, just as it has in previous cycles. As he put it, if Bitcoin even loosely follows its historical rhythm, levels above $200,000 aren’t unrealistic. Meanwhile, in the same X post, Altcoin Daily also speculated that altcoins on decentralized exchanges, such as Bitcoin, could pump by 10 times, highlighting their bullish sentiment on the broader cryptocurrency market.
Market Experts Torn On BTC Projected 2x Move
Meanwhile, despite growing optimism, some market experts remain cautious and pessimistic about Bitcoin’s projected value for the next 12 months. One such expert is Bloomberg’s Mike McGlone, who has repeatedly warned that Bitcoin still faces significant headwinds.
In an X post earlier last month, Mike notes that the asset’s performance tends to weaken when global liquidity tightens, and with interest rate uncertainty still lingering, the road to a 2x move won’t be smooth. In fact, the analyst speculates that BTC could see a correction to the $50,000 level by 2026 if macroeconomic conditions continue to tighten.
Further, crypto trader Kaizen, in an X post, set a similar bearish target for BTC, speculating a dip to $55,000. Meanwhile, according to data from asset tracker CoinGecko, BTC has rebounded to trading around the $87,000 mark.
