Siebert Financial Analyst Maps Bitcoin to $175,000 in New 2026 Forecast

Siebert Financial’s Brian Vieten mapped Bitcoin above $175,000 in a forecast published October 15, implying roughly a 117% rally from current levels.

The $175,000 Call

Per Coinpaper, Vieten sees Bitcoin past $175,000 — requiring more than a double from ~$80,850. It arrives amid genuine fear: Bitcoin ~35% below its $126,080 all-time high, ETFs bleeding, $80,000 debated as a floor.

Why Bulls Still See Upside

The long-term thesis: fixed supply, growing institutional infrastructure, liquidity returning once rate expectations stabilize. The $80,000 level has been tested repeatedly without breaking; large holders are accumulating at their fastest pace since February. Skeptics note the 10-year Treasury above 5% and a Fed discussing hikes — the worst backdrop for speculative assets. For now, $175,000 is a line on a chart, not a trade.
