Özet

Bitcoin's price has remained stagnant near $91,000, with minimal movement over the past 24 hours. Ethereum is trading around $3,100, and the total cryptocurrency market capitalization stands at $3.11 trillion. Most major assets saw price changes of up to 4%, with exceptions like Polygon (POL) and JasmyCoin (JASMY) posting gains of 15% and 8%, respectively. This period of calm is attributed to market anticipation of a U.S. Supreme Court decision regarding former President Donald Trump's tariff policies, expected on January 10. A ruling against him could increase fiscal uncertainty. The crypto fear and greed index has been in the "fear" zone since mid-December, currently at 27 out of 100, indicating a tendency toward panic selling. Furthermore, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net outflow of nearly $400 million on January 8, marking the third consecutive session of outflows. Ethereum ETFs also saw a second straight day of outflows, totaling $160 million.

As of January 9, 10:30 Moscow time, the exchange rates of Bitcoin (BTC) and most major cryptocurrencies remain in a narrow range.

Price changes for 97 cryptocurrencies from the list of the top 100 by market capitalization over the past 24 hours, according to Coinmarketcap, are within a range of up to 4%. The exceptions were Polygon (POL), JasmyCoin (JASMY), and Maple Finance (SYRUP), whose prices increased by 15%, 8%, and 6% respectively.

The temporary lull in the cryptocurrency market may be related to expectations of a decision from the U.S. Supreme Court regarding President Donald Trump's trade tariffs, which could be announced on January 10. According to Coindesk, citing Interactive Brokers economist Jose Torres, if the court blocks or otherwise restricts Trump's authority to impose tariffs, fiscal uncertainty could increase.

The crypto market's Fear and Greed Index has been in the "fear" zone since mid-December — as of January 8, it held at 27 points out of 100. The movement of the indicator suggests that market participants are leaning towards panic selling of cryptocurrencies.
