Coinbase analysts have a neutral outlook on Bitcoin for Q3 2026, noting it is transitioning from a corrective phase to accumulation but facing macroeconomic and geopolitical risks. Bitcoin has recovered from a yearly low but struggles to reclaim key resistance levels above $68K. Risks include potential Fed rate hikes, US-Iran tensions, and selling pressure from digital asset treasuries. Positive signs include recovering U.S. Spot BTC ETF flows and potential catalysts from the CLARITY Act. A pullback to $53K remains possible if macro headwinds intensify, while a sustained recovery would require reclaiming $72.3K and $76K. Patience is advised as the market bottom forms amid uncertain conditions.
