70% — the median of 6 frontier models, resolving by 2027-01-01.

Answer

Gemini (Google): 98% — Bitcoin already broke $90,000 in late 2024, virtually guaranteeing a touch by end of 2026. BTC surpassed $90,000 on Binance in November 2024 and maintained elevated structural price levels post-halving. Even under a severe cyclical drawdown, touching $90,000 on a 1-minute candle over this multi-year span is near certainty. Only a catastrophic collapse of the tether peg or Binance itself could prevent this price print from logging.

Answer

Claude (Anthropic): 90% — Whether BTC trades near current levels and has ~15 months to tick above $90k once, which is a low bar given volatility. BTC has traded above $90k multiple times in 2024-2025, so this is near or below recent highs, not a new stretch target. With ~15 months and crypto's typical volatility, a single 1-minute wick above $90k is a low threshold even if price is currently below it. Main risk is a sustained deep bear market or regulatory shock that keeps BTC well below $90k through all of 2026.

Answer

GPT (OpenAI): 68% — It turns chiefly on whether BTC is already near $90k and whether the late-2026 risk backdrop stays supportive. Only Binance BTC/USDT needs to print an intraminute high; a brief wick can suffice before 23:59 ET on December 31. Bitcoin has repeatedly made 20%+ moves over a quarter, so a three-month threshold touch is more likely than a sustained close. A sharp liquidity/risk-off shock or restrictive policy surprise would cut the odds most; a breakout above prior cycle highs would raise them.

Answer

Grok (xAI): 22% — A ~25-40% rally in 90 days from typical Oct 2026 levels, needing a late-cycle catalyst. BTC/USDT must print a 1m high >=90k on Binance by 31 Dec 23:59 ET; no other venue or pair counts. Post-2024-halving peaks historically occur 12-18 months later, so Oct-Dec 2026 sits in a statistically weaker window. A sudden ETF inflow surge or rate-cut surprise would most raise odds; otherwise 3-month 30%+ moves occur in <1/4 of comparable periods.

Answer

DeepSeek (DeepSeek): 34% — Whether BTC can rally ~15%+ from early-October levels to touch $90k at least once before year-end. BTC sits near $78-80k in early October 2026, so this needs a roughly 13-15% move within a 90-day window. Historically BTC's Q4 has produced 20%+ moves in several years, but 2026 is post-halving year two, a seasonally weaker stretch. A spot ETF-driven inflow surge or a Fed cut at the Oct/Dec FOMC meetings is the clearest catalyst that would flip this to Yes.

Answer

Qwen (Alibaba): 72% — Bitcoin needs ~15% upside in 3 months; halving-cycle momentum and ETF flows make this plausible but not certain. BTC is trading around $78-80k in early Oct 2026; a 15% move in 3 months is well within historical BTC volatility (monthly vol ~12-15%). Post-halving cycles (2013, 2017, 2021, 2024-25) have historically produced parabolic runs 12-18 months post-halving; we're ~18 months from April 2024 halving, which is… A sustained macro risk-off shock or regulatory crackdown could cap price below $90k, but spot ETF inflows and institutional adoption provide a structural bid that prior…
