Bitcoin Enters Strongest Quarter with $147K Target in Sight

Bitcoin has entered its historically strongest quarter after rebounding by 43.88% in Q3 2026, according to CoinGlass.

This growth puts it on course for its second-best third-quarter since 2013 and its third-strongest quarterly advance since US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds began trading in January 2024.

The largest digital asset has outperformed traditional markets, with the Nasdaq Composite gaining about 5% and the S&P 500 roughly 4% over the same period, while gold was up less than 2%, according to StatMuse data.

Ethereum was the notable exception, outperforming Bitcoin as the crypto rebound broadened beyond the market leader.
