- Bitcoin Price Outlook Still 'Constructive' Despite Geopolitical 'Noise' Bitcoin’s long-term price outlook remains technically constructive despite Monday’s sharp reversal, according to some analysts, as durable ETF flows offset short-term volatility. The top crypto has stabilized around $92,000 and has remained little changed over 24 hours, according to CoinGecko data. The recovery follows Monday’s sell-off, driven by escalating U.S.-Europe trade tensions that resulted in over $865 million in liquidations. “The market recovered relatively quickly with Bitcoin finding its feet in this range, suggesting a strong underlying bid and that much of this macro noise is priced,” according to a Tuesday report from digital assets investment...

Asia Market Open: Bitcoin Steadies Near $92K, Stocks Slip On Trump Tariff Threat Over Greenland Bitcoin held near $92,000 on Tuesday after Monday’s sell-off, as traders stayed cautious amid renewed trade-war anxiety sparked by President Donald Trump’s threat to slap tariffs on eight European nations unless the US is allowed to buy Greenland. Markets felt the shock first through futures and currencies as Wall Street cash markets were closed on Monday for a holiday, leaving no regular overnight session to set the tone. Market Snapshot By early Asia hours, Nasdaq and S&P 500 futures were down about 1% as investors pared exposure to US risk assets. Asian equities dipped as the risk-off move spread, with MSCI’s broad Asia-Pacific gauge...

- Analyst predicts Bitcoin could revisit $110K after ‘slow bleed' Market analyst and Into The Cryptoverse founder Benjamin Cowen said he expects Bitcoin (BTC) to continue trending lower before entering its next bullish phase. Speaking with TheStreet Roundtable host Scott Melker, Cowen described the current environment as a “slow bleed,” suggesting that the cryptocurrency could remain range-bound until macro liquidity returns. Cowen added that Bitcoin would need to reclaim key technical levels to confirm a broader reversal. Specifically, he noted that “two to three weekly closes above the 50-week moving average” would make him reconsider his bearish outlook. Cowen also said he remains partially allocated to BTC to avoid emotional...

- Bitcoin has managed to find support at $93,000. BTC is still down 2.66% on the day, while the broader crypto market cap is approximately $3.14 trillion, marking a 2.61% daily decline. According to the Bitcoin liquidation heatmap from Coinglass, there is more liquidity sitting below the current price, especially around the $90,000 area, compared to above it. That suggests a lot of traders are leaning long, so if price slips and support breaks, forced selling could kick in fast and snowball. On the upside, liquidity is thinner and more spread out, meaning price would need real demand to push higher, not just shorts getting squeezed. Bitcoin Price Prediction: BTC Fails at Key Resistance, Downside Risk Builds Below Range Bitcoin just...

- New research cited by The Wall Street Journal suggests US tariffs are quietly weighing on the domestic economy. That drag may help explain why crypto markets have struggled to gain momentum since the October sell-off. A study by Germany’s Kiel Institute for the World Economy found that for tariffs imposed between January 2024 and November 2025, 96% of the costs were absorbed by US consumers and importers, while foreign exporters bore just 4%. Nearly $200 billion in tariff revenue was paid almost entirely inside the US economy. Tariffs are Acting Like a Domestic Consumption Tax The research challenges a core political claim that tariffs are paid by foreign producers. In practice, US importers pay tariffs at the border, then absorb...

- American traders stall Bitcoin rally When Bitcoin (BTC) last week surpassed the $97,000 price mark on Jan. 14, the crypto community hoped it would soon hit the much-awaited $100,000 mark. After all, U.S. spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) linked to BTC had logged their largest daily inflows in three months on Jan. 14. As per the on-chain analytics platform SoSoValue, the figure hit $843.62 million on the day. Earlier, spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. witnessed a net inflow of $875.61 million on Oct. 7, 2025—the last time inflows surpassed the above figure—only days preceding the Oct. 10 flash crash. So, it wasn't an unreasonable expectation at all. Yet, the optimism proved to be short-lived as Bitcoin failed to consolidate the...

- Analyst predicts 55% Bitcoin surge, issues warning on crypto treasuries Bitcoin (BTC) could surge in 2026, according to Geoffrey Kendrick, Standard Chartered’s head of digital asset research. The veteran analyst, known for his long-term bullish stance, reaffirmed that Bitcoin remains a strong buy despite cutting his longer-term target. Kendrick thinks Bitcoin is still a buy and has the potential to surge as much as 55% this year alone. In December 2025, Kendrick halved his 2026 price forecast from $300,000 to $150,000 per coin. Treasury demand likely over Digital asset treasuries (DAT) became one of the most talked about trends in crypto over, especially after Michael Saylor’s Strategy began using its balance sheet to accumulate...

- The crypto market is neither in greed nor in fear but neutral at the moment, since tokens haven’t picked any direction yet. While some have been struggling with simply recovering, others have managed to inch closer to forming new records. BeInCrypto has analysed three such altcoins that could be looking at new all-time highs in the coming days. Monero (XMR) XMR remains among the leading contenders for a fresh all-time high this week. After surging 57% to a recent peak near $800, the asset corrected sharply. Monero now trades around $635, reflecting profit-taking rather than structural weakness amid sustained interest in privacy-focused cryptocurrencies. Despite the pullback, XMR holds firmly above the $560 support zone. The...

- Over the past few years, many growth-oriented investors with a high tolerance for risk have pivoted toward the cryptocurrency market. Several of the top tokens -- like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ether (CRYPTO: ETH) -- generated impressive gains within a short time. However, many of the smaller altcoins and meme coins fizzled out during the last crypto winter. Instead of chasing those volatile tokens, which are usually driven by supply and demand, it might be smarter to invest in the market's more speculative artificial intelligence (AI) plays. Let's take a look at three of those promising tech stocks -- SoundHound AI (NASDAQ: SOUN), Lemonade (NYSE: LMND), and CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV) -- and see why they could have more growth...

- Billionaire warns Greenland episode shatters Bitcoin myth While Bitcoin (BTC) maximalists may think of the leading cryptocurrency as the "digital gold," billionaire Frank Giustra believes the Greenland episode has shattered any such myth. Gold is a safe haven and Bitcoin is a risk-on asset, he asserted. Giustra says Bitcoin not comparable to gold Giustra is a Canadian billionaire businessman, mining financier, and philanthropist who is well-known within the crypto circles for his strong criticism of the Bitcoin accumulation model of the Michael Saylor-led Strategy (Nasdaq: MSTR). Recently, he went to X to again criticize the leading Bitcoin treasury for its "promotional style" based on "greed and FOMO," but clarified that he...

- Steak ‘n Shake Adds $10 Million in Bitcoin Exposure Alongside BTC 'Strategic Reserve' American restaurant chain Steak ‘n Shake said that it has added $10 million worth of Bitcoin exposure, once more crediting the top crypto asset with helping to drive growing same-store sales after the brand began accepting BTC payments last year. “Eight months ago today, Steak n Shake launched its burger-to-Bitcoin transformation when we started accepting Bitcoin payments. Our same-store sales have risen dramatically ever since,” the firm wrote on X late Friday. “All Bitcoin sales go into our Strategic Bitcoin Reserve,” the post continued. “Today, we increased our Bitcoin exposure by $10,000,000 in notional value.” Notional value refers to the...

3 Altcoins That Could Trigger Major Liquidations in the Third Week of January At the start of the third week of January, total market-wide liquidations reached nearly $900 million. Negative volatility driven by Trump’s tariff impact on the EU caused the spike. The figure could rise further as several altcoins show warning signs. XRP, Axie Infinity (AXS), and Dusk (DUSK) are attracting capital and leveraging this week for different reasons. However, they could become traps for investors without strict risk management plans. 1. XRP On January 19, XRP dropped to $1.85 before rebounding to $1.95. The decline erased most of the recovery effort since the start of the year. Short-term traders appear increasingly bearish. Many are betting...

- Crypto is often described as being in a bull or bear market, but that framing may no longer make sense. According to Evgeny Gokhberg, founder of Re7 Capital, the industry has become too broad, too liquid, and too fragmented for a single narrative to capture what is actually happening. During a recent interview on TheStreet Roundtable, Gokhberg pushed back on the idea that falling token prices define the health of the sector. Crypto's public nature He recalled a conversation with a friend who asked whether crypto might be dying after seeing small cap tokens down as much as 90%, and argued that the visibility of crypto exaggerates failure in a way other industries never experience. “So crypto’s problem is that everything is liquid...

- Bitcoin hashrate and mining difficulty have been dropping since November 2025, as Bitcoin miners could have been mining unprofitably according to average cost data. In particular, data Coinspeaker retrieved from MacroMicro shows a net-negative difference of over $8,000 between Bitcoin’s average mining cost and its market price as of Jan. 19, 2026. By the time of this writing, mining 1 Bitcoin cost approximately $101,000, while the cryptocurrency was trading at around $93,000. The platform gets its average from calculations based on Cambridge University-provided data. “Through observing consumption of electricity and daily issuance of bitcoin, provided by Cambridge University, we can find out the average mining costs of bitcoin...

- An anonymous cryptocurrency trader has turned a $285 purchase into $627,000 in a single day, onchain data shows. However, the activity has raised insider trading suspicions among analysts considering the timing and patterns usually seen in these plays. Lookonchain originally reported the activity, flagging four wallets as belonging to the same “insider” of the recently launched pump.fun memecoin ZReaL. According to the analyses, this “insider” spent $285 to buy 66.3 million of ZREAL, then sold 30% (19.98 million) for $210,000 of realized profits. The four accounts were still holding 46.3 million ZREAL by Lookonchain’s posting time, worth $417,000 of unrealized gains. Flagged addresses are...

The brief spark of optimism that lifted Bitcoin above $97,000 last week appears to be fizzling out. BTC was recently trading at $93,192, erasing the gains that had traders hoping for a potential trend reversal. The pullback comes amid a broader risk-off move across markets. President Trump's new tariffs on European nations over his administration’s pursuit of Greenland have spooked investors, sending capital rushing toward safe havens like gold, which hit a new record of $4,680 an ounce. The global crypto market cap now sits at $3.15 trillion, down 2.38% from yesterday according to CoinMarketCap, with more than $800 million in leveraged long positions liquidated over the last 24 hours, according to CoinGlass. The carnage is...

- President Donald Trump’s February 1 tariff deadline on eight European nations over Greenland has triggered the classic trader’s nightmare, where markets are designed to whip positioning before a potential reversal. ChatGPT’s historical pattern analysis of comparable Trump tariff episodes suggests an 86% likelihood of some off-ramp (a pause, delay, exemption, or walkback) either before tariffs start or within roughly a week after. This creates a high-stakes timing puzzle in which Bitcoin’s 24/7 price action may react to the outcome before traditional markets can. The tariff announcement already wiped $875 million in crypto liquidations within 24 hours as Bitcoin slid 3% to $92,000, with 90% of forced closures hitting long positions...

- Nasdaq sends delisting threat to another crypto firm Crypto mining hardware manufacturer Canaan Inc. (NASDAQ: CAN) has received a delisting warning from Nasdaq. This comes after its shares traded below $1 for 30 consecutive business days. This is the second company in two months that has received a delisting letter from Nasdaq. Canaan may seek extra time or a reverse split In a statement, the company said it was notified on Jan. 15 that it failed to meet the exchange’s minimum bid price requirement, which mandates a closing bid of at least $1 per share for ten straight trading days. Nasdaq gave Canaan 180 days, until July 13, to regain compliance. Canaan’s shares last closed above $1 on Nov. 28. In fact, CAN had closed 3.82%...

- A16z Crypto wants DeFi to ditch ‘code is law’ for ‘spec is law’ to combat $649m exploit problem DeFi protocols must move beyond “patch-after-the-hack” security and hard-code safety guarantees into their software if the $168 billion sector is to mature, according to a16z Crypto. In a January 11 post, Daejun Park, a senior security researcher at the firm, argued that DeFi developers should adopt a more principled approach to security instead of relying on trial and error. At the core of that shift, Park said, is the use of standardized specifications that constrain what a protocol is allowed to do, and automatically revert any transaction that violates those predefined assumptions about correct behavior. “Almost every exploit to...

- Bitcoin Price Crashes to Zero on Paradex Exchange as Glitch Fuels Mass Liquidations The price of Bitcoin dropped to $0 on perps decentralized exchange Paradex overnight, according to numerous users, after a database migration issue affected the Paradex blockchain, its block explorer, bridge, and API. An issue was first flagged on the Paradex status page at 12:36 a.m, ET on Monday, shortly after social media posts flagged a cascade of liquidations as the price of Bitcoin plunged to $0 on the exchange.

Starknet is an Ethereum layer-2 scaling...
