Standard Chartered has cut its Bitcoin price forecast for the second time in less than three months, warning that the cryptocurrency could slide to hit $50,000 before recovering.

The bank now expects Bitcoin to end 2026 at $100,000, down from a prior projection of $150,000, it said in a note on Thursday. In December, the bank had already slashed that target from $300,000.
