In the final stretch of January, Bitcoin briefly fell under $80,000 as analysts highlighted roughly $1.3 billion in liquidations within 12 hours. Market expert Burak Kesmeci views $80,000 as both a key technical support and the approximate cost basis for spot Bitcoin ETFs, with January 2026 net outflows already at $1.61 billion. He cautions that a confirmed weekly close below this level could extend downside toward $72,000, $68,000 and $62,000, while a rebound above $90,000 and $95,000, and eventually $100,000, would improve the bullish outlook.

On January 30, analyst Ali Martinez said on X that XRP could be primed for a short-term bounce if the TD Sequential setup is confirmed at the $1.70 support. The token started the week up roughly 7% before sliding on Wednesday. Meanwhile, US XRP spot ETFs saw outflows exceeding $69 million, and XRP was at $1.74, down 3.26%.

Throughout most of the recent trading week, Ethereum has traded within a tight band between $3,000 and $2,880 while derivatives activity has cooled. On-chain data cited by Arab Chain shows total Ethereum open interest across major exchanges has fallen to about $16.9 billion, the lowest since mid-December, even as Binance alone maintains roughly $7.5 billion. With leverage declining and Ethereum near $3,000, the market appears to be absorbing deleveraging with limited selling pressure, while large traders concentrate positions on the most liquid venue.

Analytics group Arab Chain, via a CryptoQuant QuickTake, reports Binance's ETH futures daily volume reached $21.7 billion, the highest since mid-December. The uptick follows a late-December lull while ETH trades around $3,292. Over the week, Ether reclaimed $3,300 but failed to break $3,400, reinforcing a short-term bearish setup.

AVAX, the native asset of the Avalanche network, recently climbed to $14.85 before dropping back under $13.50 and now trades near $13.61. Analyst Ali Martinez’s January 16 chart study highlights repeated rejections around $14.83 and an inverse head and shoulders structure that could project upside targets at $17.59 and $18.41 if this resistance is cleared. AVAX has booked a 14.67% gain over the past month, hinting at a possible shift after a net negative Q4 2025.

Bitcoin pulled back to the $90,000 psychological support after meeting resistance near $94,000. According to a QuickTake on CryptoQuant by The Enigma Trader, exchange netflows shifted from –11,500 BTC to +1,100 BTC since December, implying reduced accumulation. As of this writing, the price is around $90,463, per CoinMarketCap.

After failing to clear the $94,000 barrier, Bitcoin is hovering around the $90,000 region, with buyers showing caution near highs without a confirmed trend reversal. In a January 9 X post, analyst KillaXBT outlined a pivotal $90,000 support tied to a CME futures gap, eyeing $87,500–$86,800 if it breaks and $94,000–$95,000 on strength. At press time, BTC is $90,500, down 0.76%.

In the opening days of 2026, Ethereum climbed decisively above the $3,000 resistance level, with its spot price moving past $3,100. According to analyst Amr Taha, ETH open interest on Binance increased from about $6.2 billion to around $7.1 billion, a roughly 12% daily rise that signals a wave of new, largely long positions. Taha views the move as leverage-driven, warning that the short squeeze and rising funding rates could create both opportunity and heightened downside risk.

On December 27, market analyst KillaXBT argued that Bitcoin's true super cycle will not begin until capital clearly shifts out of precious metals and into BTC. The analyst compares Bitcoin's setup heading into 2027 to gold in the early 1970s, projecting a major outperformance even if BTC reaches $200,000 and a roughly $5 trillion market cap, still far below gold's estimated $31.7 trillion. They also believe 2026 could be a bearish phase and the last prolonged bear market with Bitcoin trading under $100,000 before a stronger cycle takes hold.
