  • Bitcoin stuck in bear market; analysts see shot at $100,000 even as rates bite
    July 12, 2026, 5:00 AM EDT. Bitcoin is trading at about half its record $126,000, locked in its longest bear market since 2022. Four-year cycles drive investor moves and these downturns, Bitwise's Matt Hougan said. Inflation hit 4.1% year-over-year in June, pushing the Fed toward more rate hikes, which has lined up with weaker Bitcoin prices, according to Grayscale's Zach Pandl. Higher rates keep investors in safer bets, not crypto. Heavy leverage in the sector has also fueled swings and stress.
