Global financial giants like Citigroup (with assets totaling $2 trillion) have recently expressed optimism about the future of Bitcoin. According to their latest analysis report, Bitcoin is expected to reach a target price of $189,000 by 2026.



This prediction from a traditional financial institution indicates that institutional funding attitudes toward the cryptocurrency market are gradually shifting. From the approval of Bitcoin spot ETFs to the involvement of major banking groups in pricing, the market structure is indeed undergoing profound changes.

Of course, any price forecast carries uncertainties. Influencing factors include macroeconomic cycles, policy environments, technological developments, and more. Investors should make judgments based on their own risk tolerance rather than simply following the trend.

Citibank is cutting into retail investors again; the figure of 189,000 is just too outrageous. However, institutional entry is indeed a signal, indicating that BTC's position has truly changed. Hopefully, this time we won't get trapped...

Citibank calls 189k? Bro, your prediction is way too conservative. 189k sounds pretty scary, but actually, looking at the current adoption rate... it's really still underestimated. Institutional entry is a whole different game; we can never go back to the retail investor era. But the old guy is right, don't believe predictions entirely; risk management is the key. This wave really feels like it's about to take off, do your homework and go all in. Traditional finance is finally smelling the money, after all these years, haha.

Citibank is optimistic about Bitcoin this time, but honestly, even institutions can't sit still anymore. 189,000? Sounds good, but I'm more concerned about how much water this ETF can actually pour in. The worst thing in times like these is retail investors following the trend and taking the plunge. When a financial giant with assets comparable to 2 trillion says something, it warrants a question mark. Institutional entry is a fact, but the price trend isn't really something predictions can determine. Policy shifts can wipe everything out. Instead of listening to their target prices, it's better to see how much you could lose. It feels like every time such predictions come out, there's a bunch of retail investors ready to be harvested. The number 190,000 looks familiar; I always feel something's off. When did banks start predicting crypto prices? Can't find any other business?

189000? Citigroup and these guys are starting to hype again haha --- Traditional financial institutions are optimistic at this point, but it feels easier to get trapped... --- Wait, 2026? Should I stock up now or run away? --- Institutional entry is just that—entry, but honestly, they just want to cut retail investors' grass, old tricks again --- Emm, who can say for sure about Bitcoin? Anyway, I just dollar-cost average without overthinking --- Does Citigroup dare to say this because they’re genuinely optimistic or just trying to attract capital? I don’t quite get it --- 189k sounds pretty impressive, but policy variables are too unpredictable, who dares to say anything? --- The key is whether these predictions are correct, not whether Citigroup is right or wrong... --- Still the same advice: only invest what you can afford to lose, that’s the only truth --- Getting anxious, traditional finance is starting to take sides too. What does that mean?

Citibank calls for 190,000, is this really not just to cut the leeks this time? --- Can institutional entry really cause a rise? I doubt it, it depends on what the Federal Reserve thinks --- 189k sounds great, but I still hold my coins and do nothing, anyway I can't wait two more years --- Traditional finance finally admits we won, it's a bit satisfying --- Price prediction stuff, even the nicest words are just afterthoughts --- Oh my, another sky-high prediction, I'm already numb --- So should I buy now or wait? I'm always so conflicted --- Citibank sounds good, but if policies change, it's game over, history won't forget --- Institutions really came in, why hasn't the coin price taken off yet? --- Not convinced yet, let's wait until 150,000 to see
