He kept the bank\u2019s $100,000 year-end Bitcoin target after the rebound toward $63,500. His note framed the latest move as the end of crypto winter. It did not treat the drop as the start of another breakdown.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Standard Chartered&#8217;s Kendrick: Crypto Winter Is Over; $100K BTC and $4K ETH Year-End Targets Remain<\/p>\n<p>Standard Chartered analyst Geoffrey Kendrick maintained his year-end targets of $100,000 for Bitcoin and $4,000 for Ethereum, saying Bitcoin&#8217;s drop to around $59,000 likely marked\u2026 <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dbADwAW29V\">pic.twitter.com\/dbADwAW29V<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/WuBlockchain\/status\/2065635645461282898?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 13, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Kendrick tied the selling pressure to forced selling, weak <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/u-s-spot-bitcoin-etfs-add-85-85m-in-daily-inflows-as\/\" target=\"_blank\">ETF flows<\/a>, and liquidity stress. He said those factors had caused the deepest damage during the drawdown. The bank\u2019s call extends its earlier bullish Bitcoin view after a sharp decline.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin trades far below Standard Chartered\u2019s target, despite its recovery from $59,000. Kendrick\u2019s call depends on stronger confirmation from ETF flows and institutional demand. The note kept its focus on price levels, flows, and treasury demand.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bitcoin ETF flows and SpaceX liquidity stay in focus<\/h2>\n<p>Spot Bitcoin ETF redemptions remain a central test for Kendrick\u2019s bottom call. Market context showed U.S. funds saw heavy outflows during the selloff. Those redemptions weakened the institutional bid that supported Bitcoin earlier. Kendrick said consistent inflows would support his recovery thesis.<\/p>\n<p>The liquidity picture also includes the <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/binance-cancels-spacex-ipo-campaign-as-allocation-chaos-hits\/\" target=\"_blank\">SpaceX IPO<\/a> window, according to Kendrick\u2019s note. He cited cash demand around the listing as pressure on risk assets. Crypto markets tracked SPCX trading on Nasdaq after SpaceX\u2019s $75 billion IPO, according to related context.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Synthetic SpaceX-linked markets drew crypto-native volume during the same period. Strategy remains a demand factor in Bitcoin\u2019s short-term market setup. Market participants tracked whether Michael Saylor\u2019s company would keep absorbing Bitcoin supply.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ethereum\u2019s target remains at $4,000<\/h2>\n<p>Kendrick also kept his $4,000 Ethereum target and expects ETH to outperform Bitcoin. Ethereum traded near $1,665, well below that target. Standard Chartered\u2019s existing Ethereum thesis links ETH demand to stablecoins, tokenized assets, and onchain settlement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The bank has argued that Ethereum network use remains stronger than price action. Ethereum\u2019s recent weakness kept the ETH\/BTC ratio under pressure. Kendrick said a ratio rebound would show renewed investor demand for Ethereum exposure.<\/p>\n<p>The note placed Ethereum\u2019s path beside Bitcoin\u2019s ETF flow test. It also kept institutional demand and macro stress in view as market confirmation points. Kendrick listed several markers for the next market stage. They include Bitcoin holding $59,000, ETF inflows returning, Strategy demand stabilizing, and Ethereum regaining relative strength.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/bitcoin-selloff-tests-standard-chartereds-100k-foreca\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Standard Chartered has kept its $100,000 Bitcoin target and $4,000 Ethereum target after the selloff.
