Franklin Templeton issues Bitcoin price prediction for 2026

As the Bitcoin (BTC) price continues to signal near-term selling pressure, a $1.68 trillion asset manager, Franklin Templeton, has issued a bold bullish prediction for 2026.　　Christopher Jensen, the director of Digital Asset Research at Franklin Templeton Digital Assets (FTDA), stated that the firms base case is for BTC price to return above $100,000 in 2026. During the interview with on Thursday, April 30, Jensen explained that there is a path for the flagship coin to reclaim its 200-day Moving Average (MA) before rallying back above $100,000.　　He added that Franklin Templeton is not among those predicting $1 million per BTC in 12 months. As such, Jensen highlighted that BTC price path above $100,000 could be characterized by high volatility and choppy consolidations.　　“Everything is kind of probability weighted. But if we are talking about our base case, you know, I think we think were back above the $100,000 mark, which is kinda the key threshold,” Jensen stated.　　Meanwhile, the asset managers representative said that Bitcoin and the broader crypto market remain trapped in a macro bear market. Moreover, BTC price has been forming lower lows and lower highs since it hit its all-time high (ATH) at around $126,198 seven months ago.　　Why is Franklin

Polymarket taps Chainalysis to bring Wall Street-level oversight to crypto prediction markets

Crypto-based prediction market Polymarket has tapped blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis to monitor trading activity and enforce its market rules, as it works to address concerns about insider trading and market integrity.　　Chainalysis brings a suite of tools, including investigative software and onchain monitoring systems, to flag suspicious behavior, based on a model designed to identify patterns consistent with traders acting on non-public information, the firms announced on Thursday.　　The move comes amid growing scrutiny of prediction markets. Critics have argued that platforms like Polymarket could be vulnerable to insiders — such as political operatives or corporate employees — placing informed bets before information becomes public. In traditional finance, such activity is illegal and closely monitored. In crypto-based markets, enforcement has been less clear.　　Polymarket‘s response is to lean into the transparency of blockchain. Because every trade is recorded onchain, activity can be traced and analyzed after the fact. By layering Chainalysis’ data tools on top, the company aims to detect suspicious trades in real time and, if needed, share evidence with regulators.　　In simple terms, Polymarket is bringing in a kind of digital police force. The goal is to show that even in a decentralized environment, rules can be enforced. The broader aim is

Bitcoin Rejection Sparks Caution: Is The Rally Losing Steam?

Bitcoins recent rejection near key resistance has raised fresh concerns about the strength of its ongoing rally. After a steady climb, signs of selling pressure are beginning to emerge, hinting that bullish momentum may be weakening. With price now hovering around critical support zones, the next move could determine whether the uptrend regains traction or starts to lose steam.　　2–618 Pattern Triggers: BTC Rejected At $78,000　　In a market update, analyst Kamile Uray revealed that the long-anticipated 2-618 pattern for Bitcoin has officially activated. After the price approached the $78,037 mark, significant selling pressure stalled the upward momentum. This reaction at the local peak confirms that the market is currently responding to technical overhead, initiating a corrective phase.　　The immediate outlook suggests the current decline could extend down to the $73,762 level, which serves as a critical decision point for the asset. If Bitcoin manages to hold this floor, the possibility of a renewed bullish push remains on the table.　　Should the price slip below the $73,762 bottom, the next major target is $70,165, which aligns with the 0.618 Fibonacci support of the most recent upward wave. A successful defense of this area would likely spark another upward move. Conversely, if bulls want to
