ChatGPT Forecasts Bitcoin Price in the First Quarter of 2026
According to a forecast by OpenAI’s artificial intelligence model ChatGPT, Bitcoin (BTC) could surpass the $100,000 mark in the first three months of 2026.
According to ChatGPT, in the first quarter of 2026 Bitcoin will emerge from the consolidation phase of late 2025, with its price action being gradual rather than explosive.
In its base forecast, ChatGPT assumes that in the first quarter Bitcoin will trade in the range between $95,000 and $120,000. This will be supported by post-halving supply constraints, renewed accumulation by long-term holders, and stabilization of capital inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs after year-end rebalancing.
The artificial intelligence also expects a moderate increase in risk appetite as macroeconomic uncertainty declines, allowing Bitcoin to return to the $100,000 level and continue moving higher.
ChatGPT’s bullish scenario предполагає that in the first quarter of 2026 Bitcoin will reach levels between $130,000 and $150,000. This would be driven by catalysts such as renewed institutional inflows into spot ETFs, clearer signals of monetary policy easing, or an expansion of liquidity.
The bearish scenario includes price fluctuations in the range of $70,000 to $80,000 if ETF outflows continue, macroeconomic conditions unexpectedly tighten, or key long-term support levels are broken and trigger forced selling. However, even in this case, ChatGPT views such a drawdown as a cyclical reset.
On a monthly basis, ChatGPT presented the following outlook:
- January 2026 will be a transitional period, with Bitcoin trading in the range of $85,000 to $100,000;
- February is expected to see Bitcoin trading between $95,000 and $115,000;
- March has the highest probability of a decisive push toward levels between $105,000 and $130,000.
