Analyst: Bitcoin's year-end weakness could create opportunity in 2026

Bitcoin has underperformed the stock market due to year-end portfolio rebalancing by asset managers, but this could pave the way for a stronger performance next year, according to K33 Research analyst Vetle Lunde. In an interview with Cointelegraph, Lunde explained that managers at asset management firms have pre-determined portfolio allocations and can adjust their weightings for the upcoming period, potentially allocating funds to BTC. He added that despite Bitcoin's price stabilizing, market participants remain hesitant to take on risk.
