Ex-Binance Executive Predicts Bitcoin ATH in 2026 — But Not for the Usual Reasons

[lingriiddd]

Chase Guo, a former business development executive at Binance, has made a bold prediction: Bitcoin will hit a new all-time high in 2026 — but not because of halving cycles, retail hype, or macroeconomic tailwinds. In a recent interview, Guo argued that the next major breakout will stem from internal market mechanics rather than emotional narratives.

According to Guo, crypto prices are primarily driven by three forces: liquidity, attention, and token holder structure (“chip structure”). He believes short- to medium-term price movements are shaped more by capital flows, derivatives positioning, and social momentum than by long-term fundamentals. If his thesis plays out, Bitcoin’s next ATH could emerge from a liquidity squeeze scenario — where crowded positions are forced out before price discovery pushes beyond previous highs.

“when consensus forms, it becomes a target” is honestly one of the most accurate descriptions of this market.
