#机构投资者采用 Seeing the institutional investors' expectations for Bitcoin in 2026, I am reminded of a common phenomenon—whenever market enthusiasm rises, predicted prices are continuously raised until a certain point when rationality suddenly returns.

This time is quite interesting. Standard Chartered Bank lowered its forecast from $300,000 to $150,000, citing that institutional entry through ETFs is not as strong as expected. What does this indicate? It shows that even large institutions are voting with their feet—while they are optimistic, those willing to make big bets are still cautious. Both Bernstein and Strategy's chairmen point to the $150,000 range, and this consensus alone is worth paying attention to.

But I want to remind everyone that no matter how many predictions there are, being prepared is more important. The information also mentions that, from a technical perspective, Bitcoin might face a retracement to $40,000–$70,000. This is not pessimism but a reminder—regardless of your long-term optimism, short-term volatility is real.

So what is the truly prudent approach? It’s not going all-in on a specific predicted price, but building a reasonable position structure. Leave enough room to handle retracements, while maintaining patience for long-term growth. Institutions are optimistic about 2026, but that is on the premise that they can withstand volatility. Ordinary investors should understand that—mindset is more important than judgment, and discipline is more valuable than predictions.
