Analysts See Bitcoin Trading Between $80K and $140K Throughout 2026 With Volatile but Limited Moves

Bitcoin entered 2026 trading near $88,000, with analysts debating whether it will break out or remain locked in a broad range. Research from XWIN Research Japan outlines a base case in which BTC fluctuates mainly between $80,000 and $140,000, while technical signals point to a tightening triangle pattern that could trigger moves of about 15% once resolved. Despite modest recent price changes and macro uncertainty, corporate holders now collectively own more than 1 million BTC, suggesting underlying support even as upside may be capped.
