According to ChainCatcher, Sentora analysis suggests that Bitcoin may see multiple positive factors in 2026, driving a continued price increase.
On December 26th, Bitcoin will see its largest options expiration event in history, with a total notional value of approximately $24 billion. This could unleash pent-up buying pressure and lay the foundation for a surge early next year. Meanwhile, institutional investment in Bitcoin ETFs is expected to peak in January, further driving demand.
Geopolitically, a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine may be reached in early 2026, reducing market risk premiums and boosting investor confidence. Analysts predict that these factors combined may help Bitcoin break the $150,000 mark in 2026. Investors should pay attention to fund flows after options expire and related macroeconomic developments.
