Analysts have mixed views on whether Bitcoin can surpass $100,000 by the end of 2026, with key factors including September inflation data and the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions. Institutional demand via ETFs and corporate buying supports optimism, with $6 billion inflows in Q3. Some experts see a base price range of $85,000 to $95,000, with a potential breakout above $100,000 if the Fed pauses rate hikes amid easing inflation and lower oil prices. Rising gasoline prices contributed significantly to September's inflation, impacting market expectations.
