The recent market has indeed been volatile. Bitcoin once surged past $96,000, getting closer and closer to the $100,000 mark, but disagreements about the future trend are also intensifying.

From the perspective of institutional funds, analysts at JPMorgan seem optimistic about the outlook for the crypto market in 2026. They believe that the entry of institutional capital will become the main driver of industry growth. This somewhat contrasts with on-chain data—Santiment's monitoring shows that although Bitcoin's price is rebounding, bearish sentiment in the market is actually increasing, and this subtle contradiction is worth paying attention to.

On the macro level, the Federal Reserve's movements and Trump's statements are influencing the rhythm of the entire financial market. JPMorgan's CEO has also issued risk warnings, reminding us that although institutions are deploying in crypto, their cautious attitude towards risk management has never changed.

Within the crypto community, there is intense discussion about key price ranges. Whether Bitcoin can hold steady at $100,000 or will repeatedly oscillate around $96,000, different on-chain data and technical analysis provide varying answers. Additionally, as a flagship project of the Web3 ecosystem, the development direction of ICP in 2026 is also worth looking forward to—somewhat representing the future trajectory of the entire Web3 ecosystem.

9.6 to 100,000 is the part I fear the most, it feels like being at the top of a roller coaster --- JPMorgan is bullish again, but on-chain data is bearish. This contradiction is frustrating... who should we believe? --- What are institutions hesitating about? If they are optimistic about 2026, why issue risk warnings? --- If you're confident about 2026, why not go all in now? Verbal support is easy for anyone --- This ICP situation feels like a gamble on whether 2026 can turn around --- The integer threshold is a psychological game; whether it breaks through or not doesn't really matter --- On-chain bearish, institutions bullish—this situation is more exciting than the market itself

Still debating over 100,000 when it's already 96,000, come on haha --- Institutions say good chain but are bearish on-chain, this show is quite interesting --- Again hyping the 2026 story, let's survive until next year first --- As soon as JPMorgan Chase makes a move, I want to run, this routine is too familiar --- ICP? Wake up everyone, don't get cut again --- The Federal Reserve's move throws everything into chaos, I just watch quietly --- 100,000 threshold? Feels more likely to drop back to 90,000 honestly --- On-chain bearish but still pushing up, something's off --- Repeated oscillations are just harvesting, no problem --- Web3 flagship projects? Haha, what about risk management --- Still daring to go all-in under macro disturbances? Your courage is really bold

Is it still necessary to hold at 100,000 when it's already at 96,000? It's just institutional rhetoric. The bearish sentiment is actually increasing. --- JPMorgan is bullish again, but on-chain data is contradicting that—what a stark contrast. --- Why do I always feel like institutions are tricking retail investors into following the trend? --- Whenever the Federal Reserve moves, the whole market starts to scramble blindly. --- Can ICP really represent Web3? I doubt it. --- Repeated fluctuations are probably the norm. Don't expect a single push to break 100,000. --- The bearish sentiment is strengthening, yet prices are rising. Is this another game of bottom accumulation? --- Institutional risk warnings and crypto positioning itself are inherently contradictory. Who should we trust? --- Is 100,000 a psychological barrier or a real resistance? Repeated attempts will tell. --- Is the Bitcoin price rebound a rally or a trap for stop-losses? It depends on what happens next. --- On-chain data vs. institutional statements—it's always this kind of bickering. --- Waiting until 2026 is such a long time. The real question now is how to operate in the current environment. --- That ICP thing, claiming it represents Web3 is a bit of a stretch. --- It’s been stuck at 96,000 for a while. Whether it breaks 100,000 depends on macroeconomic conditions.

96,000 stuck, feels like institutions are deliberately suppressing the market? --- JPMorgan says they are optimistic, but why do they have risk warnings in hand? --- Bearish sentiment is increasing? Then I’m even more hesitant to move. --- Can the 100,000 barrier really be broken... it’s a bit uncertain. --- ICP can’t gain traction, the entire Web3 ecosystem seems a bit虚. --- The Federal Reserve is causing trouble again, this pace is really annoying. --- Institutions are optimistic about 2026, so why aren’t they going all in yet? --- Repeated fluctuations, that’s all. So annoying. --- Bitcoin’s recent surge is a bit strange, feels like it’s going to crash.

Around 96,000 repeatedly fluctuating, isn't this a classic head and shoulders pattern... A bunch of bearish signals, yet still pushing towards 100,000. I bet five bucks it will pull back again. Institutions are optimistic about 2026, but Santiment's sentiment indicator is singing a different tune, which is ridiculous... I just want to know who is fooling whom right now. Feeling itchy at a high level again, this time really not going to buy the dip... right? JPMorgan Chase CEO issued a risk warning, this guy is so smart, planning and risk management are in place, only we retail investors are jumping around. The 100,000 mark is right there, feels even harder to wait for than a MACD golden cross... should I bet on a stop-loss level? What to say about ICP, is Web3 still a hope or just a bubble? Who knows, let’s first look at the technicals. It's time for my most rational review. Actually, looking at this trend, there are indeed many warning signs... When trading in real markets, I choose to turn a blind eye.

JPMorgan Chase is both optimistic and issuing risk warnings. I've seen this routine many times; frankly, it's just leaving themselves an escape route.

96,000 and still debating whether it can break 100,000, feels a bit surreal haha Institutions are optimistic, but on-chain they are bearish, this contrast is incredible Whether it breaks the 100,000 mark depends on whether the Federal Reserve buys into this or not I really don't know how ICP will move, Web3 still needs to be observed further JPMorgan is warning again, just take it with a grain of salt The volatility will continue, don't expect a straight upward surge
