Bitcoin price crash: A crypto analyst known as ‘NoLimit’ on social media X has issued a dramatic forecast, predicting that Bitcoin’s price could drop below $50,000 by 2026, a decline of more than 42% from its current value above $86,000, as per a report.

Bitcoin Price Crash Will Trigger a Broader Market Reset

Despite the projected slump, he claims that 2026 could become a historic year for investors who stay calm and prepare, potentially marking one of the largest wealth-transfer events in over a decade, as per a Tradingview report.

NoLimit says that as Bitcoin falls to projected lows, the broader market could undergo a deep structural reset. He expects this correction to impact not only cryptocurrencies but also traditional financial assets.
