Bitcoin Rally Meets Selling From Short-Term Holders: Price Approaches Key Level

Bitcoin has surged above $97,000, renewing market optimism after weeks of uncertainty. However, short-term holders (STHs) are actively selling into the rally, transferring significant amounts of BTC to exchanges to lock in profits. Their average cost basis near $102,000 makes them prone to defensive selling as prices approach breakeven. Recent on-chain data shows over 40,000 BTC in profits moved to exchanges in a single day during the rally. This suggests that despite the price recovery, confidence among short-term investors remains fragile. Sustained upward momentum may require Bitcoin to hold above key levels and rebuild risk appetite among STHs.

BlackRock strengthens Bitcoin position after scooping up 6.6K BTC – Details

BlackRock has significantly increased its Bitcoin holdings by acquiring an additional 6,647 BTC, bringing its total to approximately 781,000 BTC, which is nearly 4% of the circulating supply. This purchase was made to meet rising institutional demand from pension funds and asset managers, rather than as a speculative move using its own capital. The accumulation of Bitcoin and Ethereum through ETFs and staking is reducing the liquid supply available on exchanges, potentially dampening selling pressure. Despite large inflows—$648.4 million into IBIT and $81.6 million into ETHA—prices have not surged dramatically. The trend underscores a broader shift toward long-term institutional investment in crypto, raising questions about whether sufficient liquid supply will remain to meet growing demand in 2026.

Bitcoin OGs’ sell-off falls by 73%, but will that help BTC’s Q1 outlook?

Bitcoin's recovery prospects are improving as selling pressure from long-term holders, known as OGs, has dropped by 73% over two years, falling from 3,000 BTC to 1,000 BTC. This reduction in selling, combined with reset market conditions from late 2025, supports a solid recovery. Institutional demand is now nearly five times the new supply from miners, with 30k BTC absorbed compared to 5.7k minted. Analysts project continued institutional inflows in 2026, aided by regulatory developments. The True MVRV indicator suggests potential for further price growth, though a surge toward 1.5 or 2.0 could signal a cooling off. BTC currently trades at $95.5k, up 18% from its Q4 2025 low.

Bitcoin Charts Bullish Path Toward ATH, But Needs To Clear This Major Supply Cluster

Bitcoin's price surged close to $100,000, reigniting hopes for a new all-time high. However, a major supply cluster between $93,000 and $109,000, identified by Glassnode as a dense cost-basis zone, poses a significant resistance barrier. This area could trigger profit-taking or breakeven exits, requiring strong buying pressure to absorb the supply for a decisive breakout. Meanwhile, on-chain data shows deleveraging signals, with open interest dropping over 30% since October, indicating reduced speculation. Such phases have historically preceded major market bottoms. Currently trading around $96,247, Bitcoin faces a critical test near this supply zone to resume its bullish momentum.

Bitcoin: Why BTC’s road to $100K may rely on leverage, not demand

Bitcoin's recent price momentum is primarily driven by leverage rather than organic spot demand. A significant short squeeze, the largest since October 2025, forced traders to cover bearish positions, pushing BTC toward the $100,000 mark. While long-term holder (OG) selling has slowed, reducing overhead supply, whales are hedging by closing longs and opening shorts, signaling caution. In contrast, retail traders are adding leveraged longs, creating a divergence that increases downside risk. The article concludes that without genuine spot demand replacing leverage, the rally remains fragile and vulnerable to a sharp corrective reset.

Dogecoin Founder Crashes Bullish Bitcoin Hopes, Casts Doubts On All-Time High Predictions

Dogecoin co-founder Billy Markus expresses skepticism about the current crypto market rally, despite recent inflows and positive momentum. While acknowledging the market's strength, he remains unconvinced until major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin break their previous all-time highs. Bitcoin has recovered to around $96,240 but remains below its October peak of $126,000. Similarly, Dogecoin faces a key resistance level at $0.157. Markus' comments highlight a divide in the crypto community between near-term optimism and the need for significant benchmark breaks to confirm a full bullish trend.

Why is Bitcoin’s price up today? Short squeeze, ETF flows & more

Bitcoin extended its rally to nearly $98k on January 14th, driven by a combination of factors including a softer U.S. inflation report, significant short liquidations, and strong inflows into U.S. spot ETFs. Short liquidations reached a two-month high of $125 million, forcing bearish traders to exit positions and contributing to upward momentum. Market sentiment shifted from "fear" to "greed" for the first time since October, reflecting renewed risk appetite. However, a key resistance level—the 50-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at approximately $97.6k—must be reclaimed to confirm a sustained bullish trend. Failure to hold above this level could lead to another price dip.

MicroStrategy's Bitcoin Leverage Strategy: Betting on Fiat Currency Depreciation

Bitwise's 2026 outlook report suggests crypto-native stocks like MicroStrategy and Coinbase may outperform traditional tech stocks due to their inherent leverage to crypto market cycles. MicroStrategy, often criticized as an over-leveraged Bitcoin proxy, employs a nuanced strategy. It funds Bitcoin purchases primarily through long-term, low or zero-coupon convertible and senior unsecured notes maturing between 2027-2032, which contain no margin calls or forced liquidations. Its profitable software business generates cash flow to service minimal interest payments. This structure creates an asymmetric payoff: if Bitcoin rises significantly, debt can be eliminated via equity conversion; if prices stagnate, the company can endure. The strategy is a macro bet on fiat currency debasement, using dollar-denominated debt to acquire a scarce asset. Thus, MicroStrategy resembles a long-dated Bitcoin call option, not a mere leveraged gamble, with its success hinging on Bitcoin's long-term trajectory and global monetary trends.
