比特幣近期跌勢加劇，惟渣打銀行數位資產研究主管傑夫·肯德里克仍維持年底目標價上看10萬美元的預測。他認為，儘管市場經歷「難熬的一週」，但長期需求依舊穩固，當前行情反倒可能是投資人期盼已久的進場時機。肯德里克提醒，一旦比特幣跌破6萬美元關口，市場恐將迎來進一步拋售壓力。

不過他提到，今年比特幣表現遠不及股市，不少看多頭寸已陸續離場，後續潛在賣壓也隨之減弱。他表示，待到2026年底，若比特幣順利站上10萬美元，投資人將會發現，現階段正是當初最理想的買入點。與此同時，肯德里克預期Strategy後續會積極加碼回補比特幣持倉。該公司過去在售出比特幣後，皆會迅速重新建倉，本次大概率也會沿用相同策略。

Bitcoin has suffered deeper declines recently, yet Geoff Kendrick, Head of Digital Assets Research at Standard Chartered, still keeps the year-end price target at $100,000. He stated that despite the market going through a 'tough week', long-term demand remains solid, and the current price range could be a long-awaited entry point for investors.

Kendrick warned that if Bitcoin breaks below the $60,000 mark, the market will face further selling pressure. Nevertheless, Bitcoin has significantly underperformed the stock market this year, and many bullish positions have been liquidated, easing potential additional sell-offs in the future. He noted that if Bitcoin climbs above $100,000 by the end of 2026, investors will regard the current level as an ideal buying opportunity.

He also expects Strategy to actively replenish its Bitcoin holdings. The company has a track record of rebuilding positions quickly after selling Bitcoin, and it is likely to follow the same strategy this time.
