Bitcoin is down 7% for the year at about $84,000, and analysts have been lowering their price targets. Citigroup's 12-month target of $113,000, issued in early October, implies a 35% gain but remains below the all-time high of $126,000 from October 2025 and far under the $200,000 target cited earlier this year. JPMorgan predicts 10% annualized growth over the next decade, well below the 37% compound annual growth rate from August 2017 to August 2026. At 10% a year for three years, Bitcoin would reach only $112,000, so it would not double or set a new record, and the article stresses that future growth, not past performance, is what matters.

- JPMorgan projects 10% annual Bitcoin returns over the next decade — but won't recommend buying it
A JPMorgan asset management report published Oct. 19 projects 10% annualized returns for Bitcoin over the next 10 years, compared with 5.5% for gold, 5.6% for Treasury bonds and 7.5% for large-cap equities. However, analysts Sheena Shah and Dennis Cristallo said they do not make a case for Bitcoin as a portfolio diversifier due to unstable market correlations, describing it as a speculative asset and a hedge against monetary easing. The report does not endorse including Bitcoin in a diversified portfolio. Bitcoin peaked at just over $126,000 in October 2025 but has since fallen about 35%, trading near $81,500 as of Oct. 23. The shift contrasts with years of criticism of Bitcoin by CEO Jamie Dimon.
- Is Bitcoin a Buy Right Now?
Bitcoin is down 7% for the year and 35% below its all-time high of $126,000 reached last October. J.P. Morgan Asset Management projects a base-case annual return of 10% for Bitcoin over the next decade, versus 5.5% for gold, 6% for bonds and 7.5% for stocks. Its bull case is 17% a year, while the bear case is -9.7% a year. J.P. Morgan also calls Bitcoin a volatile, risky asset with unstable correlations to major asset classes and few real fundamentals, making it essentially “a bet on fiat currency expansion.” The author argues Bitcoin remains attractive at around $82,000.

- How Much of Your Portfolio Should Be in Bitcoin After JPMorgan’s 10% Forecast?
J.P. Morgan Asset Management has included Bitcoin (BTC) in its 2027 long-term capital market assumptions, projecting a 10% annual return over the next 10 to 15 years. That compares with 7.5% for U.S. large-cap stocks and 8.2% for U.S. REITs, but Bitcoin's estimated annual volatility is 55%. As of October 22, 2026, Bitcoin traded around $82,000, about 22% below a year earlier. The article argues position size matters more than the return forecast: at a 10% allocation, a 50% drop would cut the whole portfolio's value by about 5%. It suggests a smaller allocation of around 1% or 5% with regular rebalancing, and notes that selling in a taxable account may trigger capital gains tax.
- Morning Minute: Bitcoin Tops JPMorgan’s Ten-Year Forecast for All Assets
JPMorgan Asset Management's 2027 Long-Term Capital Market Assumptions, its 31st edition, ranks 13 asset classes by expected compound annual return over the next decade. Bitcoin tops the list at 10% a year over 10 to 15 years, ahead of REITs at 8.2%, small caps at 7.7%, U.S. large caps at 7.5% and gold at 5.5%; $100 would grow to $259 in bitcoin versus $206 in large caps and $171 in gold. It is the first time bitcoin has appeared in the report, which matters because institutional allocators build their models on these assumptions, even though bitcoin's annualized volatility is 55% versus 18% for stocks. The forecast comes as the 10-year Treasury yields above 5%, yet JPMorgan still placed bitcoin at the top.
- J.P. Morgan Projects 10% a Year for Bitcoin: The Bank’s Own Bear Case Points to $25,000
J.P. Morgan Asset Management projects a 10% annual return for Bitcoin over the next decade in its 2027 Long-Term Capital Market Assumptions, published October 19. That is the highest figure in the report's table, ahead of U.S. REITs at 8.2%, U.S. large caps at 7.5%, aggregate bonds at 5.6%, gold at 5.5% and cash at 3.2%. The bank also gives a bull case of 16.6% and a bear case of -11.2% per year, from an $83,000 starting price on September 30, which translate to about $386,000, $215,000 (base) and $25,000 per BTC by 2036. The authors call Bitcoin a speculative asset, say a 10-year forecast is premature, and keep it out of their main portfolio models; one framework based on network adoption gives a base case of -3.2% a year. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took in $23.2 million on Tuesday, and three newly created wallets received 1,090 BTC ($90.38 million) from Wintermute early on Wednesday.

- Prediction: 2 Stocks That Will Be Worth More Than AMD 5 Years From Now
The article compares AMD with two AI companies, Cerebras Systems (CBRS) and Marvell Technology (MRVL). Cerebras makes an oversized chip designed to speed up AI computing; in Q2 2026, its core revenue more than doubled year over year, cloud revenue nearly quadrupled, and remaining performance obligations (RPO) reached $25.4 billion. Management expects core revenue to more than triple in 2027, after guiding for $880 million to $890 million this year. Marvell supplies custom chips and high-speed connectivity for AI data centers and targets $70 billion to $90 billion in revenue by fiscal 2031, up from $8.2 billion in fiscal 2026. Market caps are about $829 billion for AMD, $195 billion for Marvell and $26 billion for Cerebras; the article says Marvell has an established business, while Cerebras is higher-risk, with customer concentration among its risks.
- ‘Ticking time bomb’: The world's pension funds face an ageing crisis
Pension systems worldwide face a demographic crisis as people live longer and birth rates fall, straining their ability to fund future payouts. Sebastien Betermier of the International Centre for Pension Management calls the problem a “ticking time bomb,” noting that some members have been retired for nearly half a century. The 2026 Marsh CFA Institute Global Pension Index report found that 43 of 55 covered systems have fertility rates below the replacement level of 2.1 children per woman, and 23 are below 1.5. The Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund in the U.S. is projected to exhaust its reserves in Q4 2032, and according to a 2025 APRA report, about a third of Australian superannuation funds recorded negative natural cash flows over three years. Some funds are shifting toward riskier assets, including private equity and private credit, to meet their obligations.
- AI agents help rescue ETH’s Glamsterdam fork, ‘Steal My Bitcoin’ site: Hodler’s Digest
The second and final testnet for Ethereum’s Glamsterdam hard fork was cancelled after ChainSecurity found vulnerabilities in two gas-scaling proposals (EIP-8037/8038) that could have affected at least 13 DeFi contracts. Derek Chiang of Eth Labs said the flaw was found only a few minutes before midnight, forcing everyone to scramble, and the Hoodi dress rehearsal will not be rescheduled until the second-order effects are fully analysed. To speed up the review, researchers from Eth Labs and the Ethereum Foundation deployed AI agents that coordinated through a message board in a GitHub repo, and a second board now examines EIP-8198 (“Quick Slots”) for the proposed Hegota fork. Separately, the ‘Steal My Bitcoin’ site, which has not been patched against the PHP2Shell vulnerabilities, holds the key to a Bitcoin wallet worth around $2000 and had gone 25 hours without a successful hack at the time of writing.
- Which Crypto Could Be the Second to Reach a $1 Trillion Market Value?
Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency above $1 trillion in market value, at about $1.62 trillion. Ethereum, at about $2,335, needs a 3.5x increase to reach $1 trillion, the smallest multiple among its rivals, which need 10.3x for BNB, $15.79 for XRP and 16.8x for Solana. The article notes that supply growth complicates XRP and Solana, and that U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs had $12.7 billion in cumulative net inflows as of October 22, below a $14.0 billion peak, while spot XRP and Solana ETFs had $1.8 billion and $1.54 billion. It concludes Ethereum is the most viable candidate near term, but ETF inflows would first need to exceed the $14.0 billion peak, and the price would then need to surpass its $4,946 all-time high before reaching $8,186.
- Down 17%, Is Meta a Buy on the Dip?
Meta's stock has slipped 17% from a peak last month amid investor worries about heavy AI infrastructure spending and a possible AI bubble. The company's apps reach about 3.6 billion people daily, and its new Muse personal AI agent reached 5 million downloads faster than ChatGPT and Claude did after their launches. Meta's latest earnings beat revenue estimates, with double-digit growth in ad impressions and ad prices, but its full-year capex forecast was narrowed to $135 billion to $145 billion, which weighed on the shares. The article says the stock, at 21x forward earnings, looks reasonably priced and describes it as a growth stock that is attractive on the dip.
- The Bet Eldorado Gold Holders Made
Eldorado Gold shares returned 22.3% over the past year including dividends, even though late-2025 views were split: bulls pointed to the Skouries and Olympias projects, while bears flagged ESG pressure and geopolitical risk. At the start of the period the shares cost CA$36.72, with a bullish Fair Value of CA$41.05 and a bearish one of CA$28.97, the latter reflecting higher all-in sustaining costs of around $1,520 per ounce. Q2 2026 results showed revenue of US$487.456 million, net income of US$172.817 million and a net margin of 35.5% versus 30.8% a year earlier, favoring the optimistic case, though capex and project risk at Skouries and McIlvenna Bay kept caution alive. The shares now trade at CA$44.32, above the starting level, and the selected Narrative's Fair Value remains higher still. The article argues the story has shifted from gold output to a mix of copper growth projects and cash returns, so a smooth ramp-up at Skouries and McIlvenna Bay is key to the cash flow outlook.
