Binance News - Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe says Bitcoin could reach $1 million this cycle, likening it to the late-1990s dot-com boom. An October 17 post cited a chart of five Bitcoin crash bottoms, projecting a conservative bear case near $197,000 by 2030, according to BeInCrypto. Bitcoin was near $81,000 in mid-October 2026, 36% below its $126,080 all-time high reached on October 6, 2025. Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan, Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz, and former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes have also floated $1 million targets; Bloomberg Intelligence strategist Mike McGlone has said Bitcoin could instead fall to $10,000.
