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.

Can Chainlink sustain its breakout as whales shift $4.8M in LINK?

Chainlink (LINK) has broken out of a long-term descending channel, with its price stabilizing above the $14 resistance. This structural shift is supported by significant whale accumulation, with one address withdrawing 342,557 LINK ($4.8M) from Binance in two days, signaling deliberate buying ahead of a potential rally. Exchange outflows of $2.26M further reduce near-term selling pressure. Open Interest rose 9.5% to $673.5M, indicating fresh long positioning, while funding rates turned slightly positive, reflecting measured bullish sentiment without excess leverage. The alignment of technical breakout, whale accumulation, supply reduction, and derivatives activity suggests a bullish continuation is likely as long as price holds above the former channel resistance.

Why PEPE’s price is up 12% – KEY support, RSI surge & more…

PEPE's price surged 12% in line with a broader altcoin rotation as traders seek higher returns beyond Bitcoin. The memecoin experienced a clean breakout above its recent range, holding key support levels with increased trading volume. The RSI indicates mild overheating but maintains a bullish structure. Significant whale activity, including transactions exceeding $100,000 and even $1 million, has been observed during both breakouts and pullbacks, suggesting sustained interest. This steady presence of large holders may help cushion potential dips. For the momentum to continue, volume must remain strong.

Ethereum’s wallet growth hits ATH – This can help ETH jump 13.8%

Amid the ongoing market recovery, Ethereum is experiencing a surge in network activity, with new wallet creations reaching an all-time high of 393.6K on January 11th, averaging 327.1K per day over the past week. This growth signals increased user adoption and long-term investor confidence. Additionally, Bitmine staked 186,560 ETH, worth $607.27 million, in the past 24 hours, bringing its total staked holdings to 1.53 million ETH. This reduces circulating supply and reinforces a bullish outlook. ETH's price rose 6.50% to $3,330, with trading volume surging 90% to $34.18 billion. Technical analysis indicates that if ETH breaks the key resistance level of $3,340, it could rally another 13.80% to $3,800. However, failure to sustain above $3,340 may lead to a pullback. Short-term momentum is bullish, but the trend strength remains weak. Derivative data shows traders strongly favor long positions, with key liquidation levels at $3,296.3 and $3,362.8.

Bitcoin jumps to $95K – Will the tariff ruling kill CPI-driven optimism?

Bitcoin surged to $95k following a lower-than-expected CPI report, triggering a major short squeeze with over $500 million in liquidations. However, the rally faces a critical test from an upcoming Supreme Court ruling on tariffs, which could introduce significant macro volatility and fiscal risk. On-chain data reveals that the current momentum is largely driven by speculative derivatives rather than spot accumulation, with new whales entering unrealized losses. While ETF demand remains strong, the market remains vulnerable to a potential liquidity event that could reverse recent CPI-driven gains.

Bitcoin On-Chain Alert: 2021 Cycle Coins Just Moved

On-chain data reveals two significant Bitcoin transactions involving coins dormant for 3 to 5 years, corresponding to tokens acquired between 2021 and 2023. The first transaction moved 539 BTC, and the second 1,566 BTC. Such movements of long-held coins can indicate smart money rotation or early investors exiting. Meanwhile, CryptoQuant's 2025 exchange review highlights Binance's dominance, holding 72% of stablecoin reserves ($47.6B in USDT and USDC) among top exchanges and accounting for 41% of spot trading volume. Bitcoin's price remains around $92,200, showing sideways movement after a recent surge in early 2026.

The Other Side of XMR's Surge: Regulation, Black Market, and Real Demand

Monero (XMR), a leading privacy-focused cryptocurrency, reached a new all-time high of over $690 on January 13, 2025, marking a 262% surge from around $200 a year prior. This rally occurred amid a broader market downturn and increasing global regulatory pressure, including its delisting from major exchanges like Binance and a recent ban on privacy coins in Dubai. Analysis reveals that the price surge was not primarily driven by trading on centralized exchanges, as spot and derivatives trading volumes remained relatively modest. Instead, key factors include significant capital deployment in mining, with network difficulty rising sharply throughout 2025 despite temporary volatility, indicating strong interest from large-scale miners. On-chain data shows a substantial increase in average transaction fees—tripling since mid-2025—suggesting growing real demand for private transactions. Users are willing to pay higher fees for Monero’s privacy features, especially as regulatory crackdowns intensify. This has created a counterintuitive effect where bans may have strengthened demand among users seeking censorship-resistant transactions. The rally reflects both “white” (legitimate privacy needs) and “black” (asymmetric information and potential market manipulation) factors. The opaque nature of Monero’s ecosystem means retail investors face significant risks, as evidenced by high volatility and the potential for sharp corrections, similar to those seen with other privacy coins like ZEC.

How ‘great divergence’ could flip XRP’s 11% drop into fresh upside

Ripple's XRP experienced an 11% weekly decline, making it the worst performer among top cryptocurrencies after a strong rally in early January. However, technical analysis suggests this drop may be a post-rally shakeout rather than a deeper correction. Notably, whale activity shows conviction, with 219 million XRP moved between wallets in a risk-management move rather than panic selling. This, combined with $22 million moved off exchanges and recent ETF inflows, creates a potential "supply shock" scenario. Traders identify a key support level around $2.10, suggesting the price drop could be a bear trap setting the stage for a new upward move.
