Bitcoin may skip a new ATH in 2026 New research suggests Bitcoin is unlikely to set a new all-time high in 2026, despite short-term bullish signals. Analysts note a clear contrast: while lower timeframes show attempts at recovery, bears still control higher timeframes. A potential golden cross on the daily chart (21/50 SMA) could spark a short-term rally, but it doesn’t invalidate multiple long-term “short” signals. According to Material Indicators, BTC is likely to retest the yearly open near $87,500, with whales seemingly pushing for a deeper support test. On higher timeframes, conditions remain fragile. Without weekly closes above the 50-week SMA (\~$101,500) and stronger RSI readings, both Bitcoin and Ethereum remain at critical inflection points. Bottom line: short-term volatility and bounces are possible, but a new ATH may have to wait until 2027.
