[Analyst: Altcoin Rally Unlikely in 2026, 'Blue-Chip Survivors' Will Ultimately Prevail] BlockBeats News, December 23, CoinEx Research Chief Analyst Jeff Ko stated that the typical altcoin rally is likely to weaken next year, with only 'blue-chip' cryptocurrencies capturing the majority of liquidity. 'Retail investors hoping for all altcoins to benefit will be disappointed. We predict that the traditional altcoin rally season will not occur; instead, liquidity will be highly selective, flowing only to those blue-chip assets that truly gain market recognition.' Ko predicts that global liquidity will see moderate improvement in 2026, but divergence in central bank policies will suppress this benefit. He also added that Bitcoin's historical sensitivity to M2 money supply growth 'has already weakened, and the correlation is decreasing' since the launch of ETFs in 2024. He further added that the company's 'base forecast is that by 2026, Bitcoin's target price will reach $180,000.'
