On Jan. 15, 2026, Bitcoin briefly reclaimed the $97,000 level, its highest since mid-November 2025. According to CoinGecko data, BTC rose 0.3% in 24 hours, 5.5% over the week, 9.2% in 14 days, and 11.5% over the past month.
Bitcoin hit an all-time high of $126,080 in October 2025 before a sharp correction. The market turned bearish amid macroeconomic uncertainty, and BTC now faces resistance at $97,000.
CoinCodex analysts expect further gains but do not forecast $100,000 by Jan. 20, 2026. They project BTC will reclaim $100,000 on Feb. 1, 2026.
Bernstein and Grayscale also predict a bullish year for BTC in 2026 and see a five-year cycle pattern. Bernstein forecasts a new all-time high near $150,000 in 2026 and expects a breach of $200,000 in 2027.
Despite those outlooks, the crypto market remains fragile after the October 2025 crash. (Ed. note: Market participants remain cautious and may avoid risky assets, increasing volatility risks for BTC.)
