Denver, CO, USA – 24 December 2025 – Bitcoin is trading for $86,837 now. The market cap is $1.738 trillion, and the 24-hour volume is $47.3 billion. Since there has been a massive divergence in the institutional forecasts of the 2026 price ranging from $150,000 to $400,000, many investors have decided to stop concentrating on price fluctuations and instead, go for stable staking yield strategies.

Dec 86,837 -3.9% Bottom Consolidation
BTC’s annual volatility first dropped from 43% to 34% then jumped to 49% in the middle of the year before dropping back to 32% at the end of the year, fully reflecting the high volatility characteristic of the crypto market.
Technical indicators show oversold conditions but unclear direction.
Current technical indicators deliver mixed messages: the weekly RSI is at 36.94, oversold level, however, the daily MACD histogram is only +158, which suggests the rebound momentum is limited. The total of futures open interest reached $58.1 billion (down 1.01% in 24 hours), hinting at lower market engagement. The major pain point for options is at $88,000, which is near the spot price.
Liquidation data uncovers market vulnerability: $1.49 billion of long liquidations are mainly concentrated below $84,106, while only $1.77 billion of short liquidations are above $90,000. In December, BTC ETFs experienced net outflows of $529 million, and institutional funds were diverted to ETH/SOL/XRP ETFs, which in turn, have added to short-term directional uncertainty.

Significant Disagreements in 2026 Forecasts
At the same time as Standard Chartered has lowered its target price for 2026 to $150,000 from $300,000, JPMorgan’s model shows $170,000, while Fundstrat’s aggressive forecast is as high as $400,000. Galaxy Digital suggests the market should price options in the range between $50,000 and $250,000. The 167% spread between the two forecasts represents a number of uncertainties such as macroeconomic policies, interest rate trends, and the speed of institutional inflows.
Poain Staking: A Yield Uncorrelated with the Market
Debating the price prediction issue, Poain offers a fixed-income instrumentalized in USD, which relies on neither market changes nor the company’s performance. The platform keeps an eye on the market constantly and with the help of AI algorithms optimizes staking paths, thus multi-signature wallets and cold/hot wallets separation are employed for security.
Core BTC Staking Products:
Contract 302002: Minimum investment of $1,000, 7-day term, daily yield of $15 (1.5% daily return), total return of $1,105
Contract 302003: Minimum investment of $1,500, 10-day term, daily yield of $24 (1.6% daily return), total return of $1,740
Contract 302004: Minimum investment of $3,000, 7-day term, daily yield of $51 (1.7% daily return), total return of $3,357
All yields are distributed daily by the platform automatically and supported by on-chain data. The company’s 2026 plan encompasses the PEB 2 presale launch in Q1, token issuance in Q2, and exchange listing.
Dual-track strategy to address uncertainty
Given that technical indicators are oversold (weekly RSI 36.94) and institutional forecasts have hardly anything in common, a dual-track approach incorporating Poain staking turns out to be very meaningful. In case of a BTC holding of $10,000, 30% ($3,000) of the account to contract 302004 would generate a net profit of $357 during 7 days (an annualized return of 1,866%) whereas 70% of the amount kept in spot trading can be used for participating in the 2026 bull run (the target of $150,000-$400,000 means a 73-361% increase).
The main benefit of this plan is that one can change price uncertainty into a guaranteed cash flow. Staking rewards are charged in USD on a daily basis irrespective of whether BTC hits $150,000 or drops to $50,000 in 2026, thus you really get passive income “without watching market movements.” The platform also allows investors who have low tolerance for risk to stake their assets in stablecoins such as USDT, thereby completely eliminating price volatility risk.
When the market outlook for 2026 is uncertain, AI-powered staking platforms like Poain become a third option for investors—they can keep steadily generating wealth through fixed-income strategies waiting for price direction clarity. By doing this, time is turned into compound growth momentum.
