Resolution criteria
This market resolves YES if Bitcoin's price falls below $30,000 before reaching a new all-time high above $126,210.50 (the previous all-time high reached on October 6, 2025). Resolution is based on the daily closing price on major exchanges (Coinbase, Kraken, or Binance). If Bitcoin reaches a new all-time high before dropping below $30,000, the market resolves NO.
Background
Bitcoin is currently trading around $95,084, approximately 25% below its recent all-time high. Bitcoin previously reached above $122,000 in July 2025 before declining. Analyst forecasts for 2026 are divided: Bernstein and Standard Chartered predict Bitcoin will reach $150,000, while Fidelity expects support between $65,000-$75,000, and Fundstrat suggests prices could fall as low as $60,000.
Considerations
Some major institutions believe Bitcoin has broken its traditional four-year cycle and will reach new all-time highs, while others like Morgan Stanley and Fidelity believe the bull market has concluded. Analysts expect Bitcoin to remain in a high-volatility range between $75,000 and $150,000 in 2026. A drop to $30,000 would represent a 68% decline from current levels and would be historically significant, as Bitcoin has not traded at that level since 2021.

Resolution is based on the daily closing price
However the ATH (latest one quoted there as $126,210.50 but it's none of the 3 exchanges mentioned nor other indexes I've checked) is based on intraday price, not closing price. So, there could be a new ATH yet it wouldn't count for this unless it holds by the midnight UTC close? I'd suggest instead going by the intraday highs/lows to avoid the inconsistency.
