🔮 Standard Chartered Bank has revised down its forecast for 2026, allowing BTC to fall to the $50 000 level before a possible recovery — for Ethereum, a dip to $1 400 is permitted.

Among the key risks analysts cite is the outflow of funds from spot ETFs: their total assets have decreased by nearly 100,000 BTC from October’s peak, and the average entry price for investors is estimated at around $90 000. The bank believes that ETF holders are more likely to realize losses than to increase their positions during a decline.

Previously expected levels of $150 000 for BTC and $7 500 for ETH by the end of 2026 have been revised down to $100 000 and $4 000, respectively.
