Ryan Lee, a leading analyst at Bitget Research, has forecast that Bitcoin’s peak price in 2026 could reach $140,000. This optimistic scenario directly depends on global economic conditions and the inflow of new capital into the cryptocurrency market.

Investors are closely watching U.S. monetary policy. According to Lee, if regulators signal a policy easing within the next six months, this could trigger a return of capital to risk assets.

In this case, growth is expected to be gradual:

• First, a moderate rise toward $110,000 is anticipated.

• In the second quarter of 2026, the price may test the $120,000–$125,000 range.

• If the optimistic scenario holds, Bitcoin could reach $140,000 in the second half of the year.

Lee emphasized that liquidity is the decisive factor. Without an inflow of new capital, Bitcoin will not be able to break through the $120,000 barrier. According to CoinDesk, as of December 12, Bitcoin was trading at around $92.4 thousand.
