ChatGPT projects Bitcoin slide to $50,000 by May 12, 2026 after 30% drop from 2025 peak

Since early 2026, Bitcoin has traded with sharp swings and a downward tilt, dropping 3% to $86,226 in the last 24 hours before rebounding to $87,882 for a daily loss of 0.32%. According to an analysis based on OpenAI's ChatGPT, BTC is about 30% below its late-2025 high near $125,000 and could retreat further to $50,000 by May 12, 2026. The AI tool links this potential decline to Bitcoin's historical post-halving cycles and its increasing correlation with broader risk assets.
