CoinEx Predicts Shift in Bitcoin Market Trajectory

Bitcoin's market trajectory has been dominated by the four-year halving cycle for years, but CoinEx Research believes that era may be coming to an end. According to their annual outlook, Crypto Market Outlook 2026: Unlock Certainty in Volatility, Bitcoin could reach $180,000 by the end of 2026.

The forecast is based on a combination of macro liquidity, institutional flows, and crypto-native catalysts driving the market rather than the halving cycle alone. This shift in the market's underlying structure could lead to a more selective and less volatile investment environment.
