Summary
$75,000 is now Kalshi traders' average forecast for bitcoin at the end of 2026, up from about $66,000 before Wednesday but still slightly below its current level above $77,000.
A more than 20% weekly rally drove that shift after the U.S. Treasury moved to ease a bond-market sell-off, relieving pressure on risk assets.
The rebound also gained support from a White House event where President Donald Trump, crypto executives and regulators pressed Congress to pass the Clarity Act market-structure proposal.
