🔮 Standard Chartered Bank has again lowered its forecast for the first half of 2026, allowing for a drop in BTC to $50,000 before a possible recovery — for Ethereum, a decline to $1,400 is expected.

The bank believes that ETF holders are more likely to lock in losses than to increase positions on a decline.
Previously expected levels of $150,000 for BTC and $7,500 for ETH by the end of 2026 have been revised to $100,000 and $4,000 respectively.
