The post Bitcoin All-Time High Could Arrive by Late 2026 Amid Strong Bullish Signals appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Well-known crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe believes Bitcoin could be preparing for new all-time highs later in 2026. After recently hitting a 12-week high, Bitcoin saw a small pullback but is now trying to reclaim the $80,000 level.

The sharp recovery has caught many traders by surprise, and now van de Poppe believes BTC will hit around $150k to $160K. 

Here’s how high he believes Bitcoin could go in the coming months.

Is the Bitcoin Bottom Already In?

In a recent YouTube video, Michael van de Poppe believes Bitcoin is entering a key phase where long-term growth could follow. After dropping near $60,000 earlier in February, the price has bounced back strongly, surprising many traders.

This kind of recovery is not unusual. Markets often move against public sentiment.

One key signal he pointed to is the Sharpe ratio, a tool used to measure risk compared to return. Current levels look similar to past bear market bottoms seen in 2015, 2018, and 2022.

These readings often suggest Bitcoin is undervalued and may offer a better risk-reward setup for investors. While short-term pullbacks can still happen, the overall structure points toward long-term strength.

Bitcoin vs Gold Rotation

Another factor Poppe highlighted is the relationship between Bitcoin and gold. He believes money often rotates between both assets as investors look for stores of value.

When gold rises sharply, Bitcoin can lag for some time. But once gold peaks, Bitcoin has often started outperforming later. He also noted Bitcoin’s valuation against gold has reached one of its lowest levels ever, something previously seen near past market bottoms.

Bitcoin To hit New ATH: $150K–$160K

Based on past cycles, he said Bitcoin could rise 30% to 50% within three months after a confirmed low. According to the poppe analysis, $79,000 is a crucial resistance level. 

If Bitcoin breaks above it, the next target range could be between $86,000 and $95,000. A further breakout may push prices toward $110,000 over the next six months.

Looking further ahead, Bitcoin could reach between $150,000 and $160,000, setting new all-time highs by late 2026 if the trend continues.

On the downside, $73,500 is an important support level. If this level holds, the uptrend remains intact. If it breaks, Bitcoin could retest lower levels before moving higher again.
