WarrenAI, a quantitative research firm, published a Bitcoin price forecast Tuesday that puts the top cryptocurrency on track to reach between $140,000 and $200,000 by the end of 2026 in its bull case. The firm's bear case floor sits at $50,000 to $55,000, implying a potential 17% to 25% pullback from current levels. The prediction arrives as Bitcoin struggles to hold above recent lows, with the market weighing mixed signals on regulation and macro policy.
The bull case for Bitcoin
WarrenAI's optimistic scenario leans on three pillars: the post-halving supply cycle, deepening institutional infrastructure, and macro conditions that favor scarce hard assets. The firm points to a wave of ETF filings and growing corporate treasury allocations as evidence that mainstream adoption is accelerating. A $140,000 to $200,000 Bitcoin would imply a market cap of $3 trillion to $4 trillion — still a fraction of gold's $20 trillion-plus market, leaving room for further upside if the narrative holds.
The bear case and downside risks
On the flip side, WarrenAI warns that higher-for-longer interest rates, stricter regulation, and a broad crypto deleveraging event could drag Bitcoin below $55,000. The firm notes that the $60,000-$62,000 zone has been tested twice in 2024 and held, but a break below that level would open the door to the bear case floor. The timing isn't great for bulls: Bitcoin recently bounced from near $60,000, but resistance around $70,000-$72,000 remains stiff due to trapped longs from the May selloff.
LiquidChain presale gains traction
Separately, the LiquidChain token presale has raised over $830,000, with tokens priced at $0.01454. The project, which focuses on cross-chain liquidity, is drawing attention from retail investors looking for early-stage exposure. The presale is ongoing, and the team has not announced a hard cap or end date.
