  • Can BTC and altcoins set new ATH prices in 2026?

With just about a week left for the year of 2025 to come to a close, the price of BTC is trading at the $87,000 price range, crushing nearly all bullish expectations for the pioneer crypto asset to hit a new ATH before the end of the year. Despite these low current targets, traders and analysts know that a lot can change in a week and one bullish outlook draws a path for $133,000 BTC ATH price by March. Can BTC set a new ATH in 2026?

Bullish Outlook Draws Path for $133,000 BTC ATH Price By March

2025 has been a great year for the pioneer crypto asset, as the first quarter started off with BTC entering a brutal correction phase, only to later shoot up to meet new ATH prices in the 6-digit price range. By Q4, the price of BTC went on to set its current ATH price in the $126,000 price range. Alongside BTC a few altcoins surged as well, but failed to set impressively high targets or trigger altseason.

Soon after Bitcoin hit its current ATH in the $126,000 price range, the crypto market experienced its largest liquidation event in history with a total of $20 billion being wiped out. This move liquidated all leverages and long, and even a few short trades. What’s more, the price of BTC and ETH declined at a speedy rate, moving to lower and lower targets following steady sideways movements.

According to CoinMarketCap analytics, the price of the pioneer crypto asset is trading at the higher $80,000 price range with an impressive total market cap and 24-hour trading volume. If the asset was to reclaim its previous ATH price at the $126,000 price range, it would have to experience a surge of over 31%. Thus, analysts are debating the possibility for BTC to pull one final price pump before dropping into a true bear market.

As we can see from the post below, this popular and reputed crypto trader and analyst reveals that he expects the price of BTC to be targeting its next major ATH target, which is $133,000. What’s more, the analyst mentions that in the last cycle, when Bitcoin broke a 3-month downtrend trendline with bullish divergence, its price delivered a 50% move.

Based on these observations, the analyst concludes that at the base case, the price of BTC can very well surge parabolically to surpass its current ATH record and go on to enter price discovery once again. In detail, the analyst expects the price of BTC to go as high as the bull target of $133,000 as the New Year makes its way through the month of March. The post concludes with the trader stating that before the next broader bear phase begins, BTC can hit a new ATH and even lead to a strong altseason peak phase to occur.
