Bitcoin price prediction 2026/2027 - 2030

How much will Bitcoin be worth? The talk of the town when the price is on the rise. In this article, we'll walk you through the predictions of various analysts. Just a quick disclaimer: no one has a crystal ball, and there's no guarantee that these predictions will come true. Only invest what you can afford to lose.

Bitcoin price prediction for the short-term

Updated on: February 16, 2026

Bitcoin closed its weekly candle overnight at approximately $68,800, marking its lowest level since November 2024. What could happen next?

What is Bitcoin’s current position?

To assess the situation, we first examine Bitcoin’s weekly chart. Each candle represents seven days of price movement, providing a clear view of the long-term trend.

The chart shows that Bitcoin had been in a sustained uptrend, forming higher highs and higher lows. This pattern continued until the price reached around $123,000. In that zone – highlighted as the red area – sellers gained control over buyers. The price failed to break above this level, triggering a downward move.

In the following weeks, BTC dropped by roughly 50%, a significant correction. Many investors consider the current price near $68,000 an attractive buying opportunity. However, the chart also reveals a concerning development.

Bitcoin has fallen below its previous low (marked by the orange line around $74,500). This officially breaks the prior uptrend, which is generally a negative technical signal. The price has not been this low in quite some time, increasing the risk of further weakness. To prevent additional downside, Bitcoin will need to regain momentum quickly.

Can BTC reclaim $74,500?

To better understand the short-term outlook, we zoom in on the 4-hour chart, where each candle represents four hours of trading activity.

Here we see that the $74,500 level acted as support twice before the uptrend was broken. This suggests the level could remain technically important going forward.

If Bitcoin rallies back toward this area, it may now act as resistance. Only a convincing move above $74,500 would justify a cautiously more bullish outlook. Until then, downside risks remain and further declines cannot be ruled out.

What are the expectations for Bitcoin in 2026?

Bitcoin seems to be gaining momentum in 2026. In a neutral scenario, BTC could trade around €56,481.26 by the end of 2026, although this heavily depends on market sentiment.

What are the predictions for Bitcoin in 2027?

In a neutral scenario, the price could move toward €69,194.88 by July 2027. Whether this trend will continue remains the big question. If it does, the price could reach around €81,930.45 by December 2027.

How much will Bitcoin be worth in 2028?

In a neutral scenario, Bitcoin could theoretically reach a price of €144,631.05 by the end of 2028. By July 2029, the price could move toward €130,019.14, ending 2029 near €161,776.40.

What are the predictions for Bitcoin in 2030?

Now for the true long-term view. By mid-July 2031, the price of Bitcoin could move toward €141,401.17 in a neutral scenario. If this scenario continues, we could theoretically see a price of around €153,974.41 by December 2031.

PlanB: Bitcoin to average $500,000 in 2026 to 2028

But what if it happens even faster? Analyst PlanB is not short on optimism. Anonymity is more common in the world of Bitcoin. The only thing we know about PlanB? He is Dutch and has developed a unique price model for Bitcoin.

He calls this the stock-to-flow model of Bitcoin. The essence? Bitcoin is scarce, and that scarcity makes Bitcoin valuable. If you want the detailed explanation, you can read it below. But beware, we're delving deep into the world of Bitcoin!

So, Bitcoin is scarce. There will only be 21 million coins in the future. A fixed number of BTC enters the market every ten minutes. And that influx is roughly halved every four years. This is known as the Bitcoin halving.

Now, your economics lesson from the past comes back. What happens when demand remains the same but supply decreases? Prices rise. The stock-to-flow model is built on this principle.

Below, you can see PlanB's model along with the Bitcoin price. The dark blue band represents one standard deviation, and the light blue band represents two standard deviations. As you can see, the price has been moving within the model's range for years.

Will it continue like this? Then Bitcoin could reach 500.000 US dollars on average between 2025 and 2028. This may seem like an unthinkable scenario for some. But imagine this: ten years ago, no one expected Bitcoin to ever be worth 50,000 euros.
