Bitcoin New Holder Pain Extends: $98,000 Needed For Relief

Bitcoin short-term holders (STHs), who purchased coins within the last 155 days, continue to hold at a net unrealized loss, according to on-chain data from Glassnode. The Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) metric for this group has remained negative since November 2023, despite some price recovery in January. A return to profitability for STHs would require Bitcoin to reach approximately $98,000. Additionally, the 30-day Net Realized Profit/Loss has turned negative, indicating that loss-taking has exceeded profit-taking for the first time since October 2023. Bitcoin is currently trading around $90,900, down over 2% in the past week.

Satoshi Nakamoto’s BTC stash – 17 years later, how much is it worth?

Bitcoin's price recently dropped to $89,490 amid global trade tensions, yet long-term holders remain confident. Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin’s creator, still holds 1.1 million BTC—worth around $100 billion—unmoved since 2009. Despite recent large sell-offs by institutions, on-chain data suggests accumulation by major players during the dip. Bitcoin ownership is highly concentrated, with Satoshi, Coinbase, and BlackRock as top holders. While retail activity has declined, rising on-chain volume indicates underlying strength, reinforcing Bitcoin’s long-term value beyond short-term volatility.

Africa’s Bitcoin Mining Map Expands As Ethiopia Seeks Global Partner

Ethiopia is seeking a global partner to establish a state-backed Bitcoin mining operation, shifting from private mining deals to a government-led initiative. The project, led by the sovereign fund Ethiopian Investment Holdings, aims to leverage surplus hydropower to generate foreign income. While private miners are already operating in the country, the government believes a formal partnership will provide better oversight and more direct financial returns. The move is part of the broader Digital Ethiopia 2030 plan, though concerns remain about power usage and Bitcoin's price volatility.

History Repeats for the Fourth Time, Is BTC Launching a New Super Bull Market?

The cryptocurrency market, particularly Bitcoin, is experiencing a period of significant underperformance and low volatility, contrasting sharply with the strong rallies in traditional assets like gold, silver, and U.S. equities in 2025 and early 2026. This divergence is attributed to Bitcoin's role as a leading indicator for global risk assets, reflecting underlying macroeconomic pressures. Key factors behind Bitcoin's weakness include global liquidity tightening from continued Federal Reserve quantitative tightening (QT) and Bank of Japan interest rate hikes, as well as heightened geopolitical tensions under the Trump administration, which have increased market uncertainty and risk aversion. Meanwhile, the surge in traditional assets is driven by sovereign and policy-led forces rather than broad macroeconomic improvement. Gold's rise is fueled by central banks diversifying away from U.S. dollar dependency, while equity gains in the U.S. and China are concentrated in sectors aligned with national industrial policies, such as AI and defense. Historically, Bitcoin has shown four major instances of extreme overselling relative to gold (as indicated by RSI below 30), in 2015, 2018, 2022, and now in late 2025. Each preceded a significant Bitcoin bull run. The current divergence may signal an impending market rebound for Bitcoin, while traditional markets like small-cap stocks and AI sectors show signs of being overvalued and vulnerable to a correction. The article cautions against abandoning crypto for seemingly booming traditional markets, as Bitcoin's stagnation may be a预警 of broader risks and a potential setup for a major narrative shift.

Bitcoin price nears 60-day consolidation mark – Is $107K jump imminent?

Bitcoin has consolidated above $80,000 for nearly 60 days, a pattern that historically triggered breakouts. Analysts suggest this could lead to a significant upward move, with one trader targeting $107,000. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index also shows a bullish crossover, supporting a potential rally. However, new tariffs on some E.U. countries introduce macroeconomic uncertainty that may affect the outcome. Despite a recent correction from $98,000 to around $90,000, momentum remains in consolidation rather than a negative trend. Key liquidity levels are noted between $86.2k–$89.1k, with an upside target of $93.4k. The overall outlook is cautiously optimistic but dependent on external factors.

Bitcoin Recovers In January: Funding Divergence Points To A Spot-Driven Market

Bitcoin is attempting to stabilize above $91,000 amid fragile demand after recent volatility. A CryptoQuant report indicates January is a recovery phase, driven by institutional and whale accumulation, while retail remains hesitant. Notably, Bitcoin's spot price and funding rates have diverged in early 2026, signaling a spot-driven market. This suggests the move is supported by real buying rather than excessive leverage, reducing liquidation risks and potentially leading to more durable rallies. Some analysts question if the traditional four-year Bitcoin cycle is fading, as ETFs and corporate demand may be creating steadier inflows. Market direction may now be more affected by macro factors like Fed policy and institutional flows rather than halving events. Technically, Bitcoin is testing key support-turned-resistance near the 100-week moving average. A weekly close above $95,000 is needed to confirm a bullish shift.

Bitcoin’s Pullback Feels Brutal, But History Says It Could Drag On For Months

Bitcoin has fallen below $92,000, signaling continued downside pressure despite efforts by bulls to defend key support levels. Analyst Darkfost notes the current pullback is only 109 days from the last all-time high, much shorter than previous major corrections which lasted over 150 days. While the decline feels intense due to significant realized losses, capitulation, and stressed short-term holders, historical patterns suggest Bitcoin could remain in a choppy recovery phase for months without breaking its broader cycle structure. This cycle is further complicated by ETF-driven institutional demand, potentially leading to longer consolidations and less predictable behavior. Technically, Bitcoin remains below key moving averages, with the $90,000–$88,000 range acting as critical support. A breakdown below this level could target December lows, while reclaiming $92,000 is essential for bullish momentum.

Bitcoin pulls back to $91K – Spot buyers quietly take control

Bitcoin has retreated to the $91,000 level after failing to hold above $95,000, indicating short-term exhaustion. However, broader market participation remains strong. Spot buyers have regained control, with the Spot Taker CVD turning positive and $171.83 million in net outflows from exchanges, signaling organic accumulation. Institutional demand remains steady, with U.S. investors accumulating approximately $53 billion worth of BTC over the past year, largely driven by spot Bitcoin ETFs. Global liquidity conditions also remain supportive, with M2 growth at 11%, below levels typically associated with cycle peaks. However, macro risks, such as U.S.-EU trade tensions, could impact near-term sentiment as cryptocurrencies are treated as risk assets.

Bitcoin drops below $90k as $708.9m crypto liquidations hit leveraged longs

Bitcoin fell below the key $90,000 level on January 21st, extending a broader pullback. The drop was accompanied by a significant wave of liquidations totaling $708.88 million over 24 hours, with long positions accounting for the vast majority at $648.78 million. This indicates the market was positioned for a bounce but was caught offside by the decline. The price decline pushed Bitcoin's 12-hour RSI to -33.7, signaling weakening momentum. Market structure suggests the move has entered a fragile phase. While bounces can occur, they are likely to be volatile. The aggressive deleveraging from the liquidation flush may reduce near-term selling pressure. The market's next key test is whether Bitcoin can reclaim the $90,000 level.

Are Crypto Exchanges Manipulating The Bitcoin Price Crash?

Crypto pundit Wimar accuses major exchanges like Binance and Coinbase of manipulating Bitcoin’s price, causing a crash from its 2026 high. He claims exchanges orchestrate rapid price pumps to trigger retail FOMO and liquidate leveraged positions, then dump large volumes to cause sharp declines. Wimar argues recent Trump tariff announcements and EU retaliation reports are not the real cause; instead, he points to coordinated trading activity and on-chain data showing synchronized movements between exchanges and ETF-linked wallets. Bitcoin fell over 2% to around $90,900, with Wimar insisting such volatility is driven by exchange manipulation rather than news events.
