Bitwise Makes 10 Stunning Predictions for 2026! Bitcoin and Two Altcoins Particularly Highlighted!
Bitwise has released its highly anticipated 2026 predictions for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and the cryptocurrency market.
The final months of 2025 did not unfold as expected for Bitcoin and altcoins. While many analysts anticipated significant increases and new all-time highs, the last three months saw sharp declines.
While bullish expectations are pushed back to 2026, asset management company Bitwise has published its eagerly awaited 2026 predictions for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and the cryptocurrency market.
At this point, Bitwise summarized its cryptocurrency predictions for 2026 in 10 points and predicted a major bull market in cryptocurrencies in 2026.
The predictions were as follows:
“1. Bitcoin will break its four-year cycle and reach a new all-time high in 2026. At this point, Bitwise believes that Bitcoin’s historical four-year cycle of three years of rise and one year of fall (bear) will no longer be valid. According to the company, 2026 is expected to be a bear year, but it will not be a bear year, but rather a bull year.
2. Bitcoin’s volatility will be lower than Nvidia’s.
3. ETFs will buy more than 100% of the newly released BTC, ETH, and SOL supply.
4. Crypto-related stocks will outperform technology stocks.
5. Polymarket’s open position will reach an all-time high.
6. Stablecoins will be cited as the cause of currency instability in emerging markets.
7. Assets under management in on-chain vaults will double.
8. If the US passes a crypto market structure law, Ethereum and Solana will reach all-time highs.
9. All Ivy League universities’ endowment funds…” Half of them will invest in cryptocurrencies directly or indirectly.
10. The ETF trend will continue in the US, and more than 100 altcoin ETFs will be launched in 2026.”

Few times it makes a choice so obvious, it doesn’t need to explain itself. One New Wallet. One Loud Choice.
A fresh address just stepped onto the chain, and it didn’t come to explore. It came with a decision already made.
In a single sweep, this wallet pulled $17.8 million out of Binance. On the surface, it looks like a mixed basket. Look closer, and the story sharpens.
Nearly everything went into #Ethereum .
About $16.86M, roughly 95% of the total -- was withdrawn as $ETH , taken off the exchange around $2,935.55. The rest? Small side positions in familiar names like LINK, AAVE, UNI, POL, and COMP, more supporting cast than co-stars.
This doesn’t read like hedging. the signal is clear: this wallet is leaning hard into #ETH .

Falcon Finance and the Evolution of Universal Collateralization
@falcon_finance is introducing a new foundation for on-chain liquidity by building the first universal collateralization infrastructure. Instead of forcing users to sell assets to access capital, Falcon allows a wide range of liquid assets to be used as collateral, unlocking liquidity while preserving long-term exposure.
At the center of the protocol is USDf, an overcollateralized synthetic dollar designed for stability and capital efficiency. Users can deposit digital assets or tokenized real-world assets and mint USDf, gaining access to stable on-chain liquidity without liquidating their positions. This approach supports more efficient capital use and reduces the opportunity cost often associated with traditional DeFi lending models.
Falcon Finance is designed to adapt across market cycles. By supporting diverse collateral types, the protocol creates a flexible liquidity layer that can serve DeFi users, traders, and institutions alike. This universal model opens the door to new yield strategies, improved risk management, and deeper liquidity across the ecosystem.
The Falcon ecosystem is powered by the FF token. $FF plays a role in governance, incentives, and long-term protocol alignment, ensuring that participants who contribute to the network’s growth also help shape its future.

BTC triggered a short liquidation at $86,622.3, forcing sellers to cover as price pushed higher. On Bitcoin, short liquidations often act as confirmation of strength when price holds above the squeeze level.
EP: $85,900 – $86,600
TP 1: $88,500
TP 2: $90,300
TP 3: $93,800
SL: $84,700
Bias stays bullish while $BTC holds above $85,500. Avoid chasing breakouts. Pullbacks toward support offer better risk.

⚠️ $SOPH is pumping strong +5% but consolidating at demand zone 0.0132–0.0135 — great long pullback setup, don’t miss it! 🚀
🟢 Plan Long $SOPH
Entry: 0.01345 – 0.01350
SL: 0.01320
(Risk 1R = distance from average entry 0.013475 to SL 0.01320 = 0.000275)
TP1: 0.01375 (1R)
TP2: 0.01403 (2R)
TP3: 0.01485 (4R)
Risk:Reward Ratio
• TP1: 1:1
• TP2: 1:2
• TP3: 1:4
• Average R:R ≈ 1:2.3 (very attractive, recommend scaling out)
Technical Analysis ⚡
$SOPH bounced strong from demand 0.0132, holding above EMA34 (0.0135) with steady volume. RSI 58 neutral-bullish, MACD slightly positive with DIF crossing up, green histogram → buyer momentum returning, ready for next leg higher after consolidation.
Hold above 0.01345 for easy hit of R-based TPs. Invalid if candle closes below 0.01320.
Risks to Note
• High volatility (meme/AI coin), prone to sharp dumps if market turns red.
• Correlation with AI sector → watch closely if GROK or AI coins weaken.
• Volume solid but need confirmation on break of 0.0135.
• Risk only 1-2% capital, partial profit taking (e.g., 50% at TP1, 30% TP2, 20% TP3).

SOL Gang… we’re chilling at $126.69? And the bears are actually celebrating? 😂
They dragged the price down to $123.63 just to trigger a liquidation cascade and shake out the paper hands. It’s the oldest trick in the book.
$SOL
While the timeline is screaming "Solana is dead," the smart money is quietly defending this zone like a fortress. Look at that RSI resetting to 38 we aren't crashing, we are reloading for the next impulse.
📉 “Sub-$100 incoming,” they wished… while the chart printed a clean rejection of the lows.
🛒 “I’m scared,” they whispered… as the whales market-bought the dip with both hands.
💤 “No volume,” they claimed… right before the reversal candle starts painting green.
$SOL
This is the accumulation zone where the impatient donate their SOL to the convicted.
Let them short the bottom. We are stacking SPOT here, grateful for the discount and safe from wicks.
Because when this ecosystem wakes up and shreds back through $140, the sidelines will be flooded with:
“I literally watched it at $126 and didn’t buy 😭”
Stay based. The sun always rises. ☀️🚀

ETH believers… we dipped below the holy $3,000 line to $2,925? I can practically smell the panic selling from here. 😂
They smashed through that psychological barrier specifically to force capitulation from the weak hands. It’s a textbook shakeout maneuver.
$ETH
While the timeline is declaring the death of Ethereum, the smart money is treating $2,876 as the buy zone of the month. Look at that RSI sitting at 30.44 we are scraping the bottom of the barrel, screaming for a reversal.
📉 “Sub-$2k coming,” they predicted… while the price quietly found a hard floor.
🛒 “Too scary to buy,” they typed… as institutional wallets gobbled up the discount.
💤 “Trend is broken,” they claimed… right before the elastic band snaps back.
This is where the transfer of wealth is most violent.
$ETH
Let them dump their bags. We are accumulating SPOT here, completely immune to the leverage flush.
Because when ETH reclaims $3,100 and climbs back into the safe zone, the sidelines will be crying:
“I can’t believe I sold the bottom at $2.9k 😭”
Diamond hands only. The bounce is inevitable. 💎Ξ🚀

$RAVE Momentum Breakout in Play
{future}(RAVEUSDT)
RAVE is showing strong bullish momentum after a sharp impulse move, with price reclaiming key intraday levels and printing higher highs on rising volume. The recent surge suggests aggressive buyer interest and a short-term trend shift, but after a near 30% move, minor pullbacks are healthy before continuation. As long as price holds above the breakout zone, the structure favors upside continuation toward higher resistance levels, while a loss of support would invalidate the move.
Trade Setup:
Trade Setup: Long
Entry Zone: 0.355 – 0.365
Take Profit 1: 0.395
Take Profit 2: 0.420
Take Profit 3: 0.450
Stop-Loss: 0.332
