Odaily Planet Daily reports that Standard Chartered Bank has lowered its Bitcoin price forecast for the second time in less than three months, warning that the BTC price could fall below $50,000 before rebounding.

The bank stated in a report on Thursday that it now expects Bitcoin to reach $100,000 by the end of 2026, down from its previous forecast of $150,000. In December last year, the bank already significantly reduced its target price for Bitcoin from $300,000.

This latest adjustment comes after a period of turbulence in digital assets. Since the market crash in October last year, Bitcoin has struggled and experienced ongoing volatility and shifts in risk appetite. (Bloomberg)
