Prediction market data from Polymarket shows traders assign only a 1% chance for Bitcoin to reach $150,000 by June 2026, and a 7% chance by the end of 2026. Despite renewed interest in cryptocurrencies and expectations of lower US interest rates, traders remain skeptical about Bitcoin more than doubling its current price, especially amid geopolitical tensions and inflation concerns. Bitcoin has seen strong rallies recently but remains volatile, trading around $76,921 with a recent weekly decline of 4.7%. These market sentiments highlight cautious investor outlooks on Bitcoin's near-term price surge potential.
