Itaú Asset Recommends 1–3% Bitcoin Allocation for 2026 as BTC Holds Near $90,000 Support

Itaú Asset Management, the investment arm of Brazil's largest private bank, has advised investors to assign 1% to 3% of their portfolios to Bitcoin in 2026 while BTC trades around the $90,000 area after a sharp pullback from October highs. The bank's research highlights Bitcoin's low correlation with traditional assets, as technical charts show price moving in a descending channel with key support near $80,638 and resistance around $102,152 and $116,453. At the same time, the Maxi Doge ($MAXI) presale has raised over $4.3 million, targeting buyers before annual staking rewards of 72% are reduced.
