Bitcoin $99,477 is currently hovering at the six-figure price threshold, finding buyers at $98,500. Trump’s aggressive tariff measures have shaken risk markets, while DeepSeek indicates that altcoins have dipped below last year’s lows due to the impact of Trump’s tariffs and the liquidity issues faced by Trump Coins. What direction do experts see for long-term goals?
2025, 2026, and 2027 Cryptocurrency Goals
We are in a different process compared to previous cycles. As BTC achieves new phases of institutional acceptance, it has transformed into an asset gaining governmental interest. Though Trump’s actions create short-term market turbulence, several positive outcomes are anticipated, including the postponement of the sale risk of billion-dollar assets by four years.
Geoff Kendrick from Standard Chartered noted that if investor access increases and volatility decreases, Bitcoin could rise to half a million dollars in the long term. He also highlighted that the U.S. has significantly strengthened investor access with its ETF approval.
“Under the Trump administration, improvements in investor access have begun.”
With the removal of barriers for banks in the crypto business, Trump has ordered officials to make the country the crypto capital. As the ETF market matures, BTC’s volatility may lessen due to deepening liquidity. Standard Chartered anticipates BTC reaching $200,000 by the end of this year, with goals of $300,000 for 2026 and $400,000 by the end of 2027. This situation indicates massive growth potential for altcoins as well.
Despair and Rise
BTC has not suffered a drop exceeding 50%, unlike in 2020, but losses in altcoins were comparable. This has led to concerns among investors about a larger drop, pushing them out of the market. Many investors are sharing on social media about taking losses or cashing out at a cost.
In times of increasing despair, market downturns are typically expected to reverse. However, this cycle tends to behave differently than previous ones, especially considering the significant downturns in bear markets. Some analysts believe that bullish markets are not yet over.
Veteran trader Peter Brandt shared a BTC chart, stating, “And finally, here’s a chart guaranteed to make you a fortune.” He elaborated on how charts used to be manually drawn with graph paper and basic tools in the past, emphasizing his technical expertise.
