Bitcoin unexpectedly moved in the opposite direction in the last quarter, experiencing sharp declines instead of a rise.
At this point, as BTC prepares to close 2025 below $100,000, VanEck has offered a bullish forecast.
A VanEck executive predicted that Bitcoin could make a strong comeback in 2026.
VanEck digital asset fund manager David Schussler stated in his 2026 asset market outlook report that Bitcoin is diverging from gold and the Nasdaq 100 index, and this increasing divergence could signal the beginning of a major rally for BTC.
Schussler noted that BTC has underperformed the Nasdaq 100 index by approximately 50% this year.
Schussler argued that if Bitcoin continues to act as a hedge against the declining value of fiat currencies, BTC will recover strongly, as it has in the past.
He also added that increased government spending to overcome political challenges and meet future financial burdens would ultimately lead central banks to provide more liquidity, which would then direct capital towards scarce assets like Bitcoin and gold.
“As the value decreases, liquidity returns, and historically, BTC reacts sharply to this.”
We are making purchases.”
Schussler stated that gold will also rise in 2026, predicting that its increase will continue up to $5,000 next year.
