Technical Analysis

On January 14, Bitcoin briefly climbed above $97,000, its highest level since November, prompting renewed debate over whether its long-observed four-year pattern is changing. Analyst Egrag Crypto assigns a 55%–65% probability that 2026 will close green if BTC can secure monthly closes above $105,000 while holding support near $90,000. Other chart watchers highlight this deviation from past cycles as BTC dominance rises and short-term holders take profits into strength.

According to the analysis, XRP is stabilizing above a major demand area in its USDT pair after an earlier-month rebound, but it has not reclaimed the broader supply zone near $2.40. Against BTC, the token remains in a downtrend, fading from 2,400–2,500 sats and hovering near 2,150 sats while momentum indicators ease.

Bitcoin is consolidating just under the $95,000 resistance zone after rebounding from its December lows, with the daily chart showing a clear pattern of higher lows. Technical structure now places BTC between a potential breakout toward the $100,000 area and a possible pullback toward support around $90,000, while on-chain data shows the share of supply in profit recovering from a deep reset.

Since January 16 (Friday), Bitcoin slipped into tight consolidation after failing to extend earlier strength. In a January 17 X post, XWIN Finance said the Kimchi Premium has flashed a long signal again, a pattern that preceded a 370% advance in 2023. BTC sits near $95,280 with little 24-hour change.

Shiba Inu closed below its 20-day moving average and the mid-Bollinger Band yesterday, shifting the setup toward a pullback. The lower band near $0.00000718 sits 14.36% beneath the latest $0.00000839 reading, a gap that often narrows unless a swift recovery occurs. Bulls now need to reclaim the 20-day level to avoid further slippage.

Silver trades at $90.13 with a 24-hour gain of 0.08% and a 12.92% rise over the past 7 days. Peter Schiff highlighted strength in mining stocks and expects a strong rally, while analysts note support above $88.60 with upside targets near $91.80 and $93.00. The $100 psychological level remains in focus.

Bitcoin rose about 20% since November 21, 2025, after a 19% drop pushed it below the 365‑day moving average near $101,000. Demand has improved but remains weak, with spot demand contracting by 67,000 BTC over 30 days and U.S. ETFs showing no sustained accumulation. Exchange inflows have climbed to a seven‑day average of 39,000 BTC, which may increase selling pressure.

XRP has continued to defend the $1.96–$2.0 support zone while trading above the $2 psychological demand area. On-chain and derivatives metrics, including funding rates, spot CVD and cost basis distribution, suggest buyers may be accumulating and a local bottom could be forming near current levels. A move below $1.96 could deepen bearish sentiment, while the $2.15 region remains a key resistance for bulls.

On January 18, analyst Ali Martinez shared on X a setup suggesting SUI could break above roughly $1.84 and aim for $2.29. The token moved between $1.70 and $1.90 over the past week, and was around $1.78 with a 0.9% daily dip. Martinez's view hinges on a bull flag continuation pattern.

President Donald Trump announced tariffs on eight European countries that begin at 10% on February 1 and escalate to 25% by June, conditioning removal on Denmark selling Greenland. Bitcoin trades near $95,000 after weeks in a $94,000–$97,000 range, with anxiety rekindled by October 2025’s $19 billion liquidation precedent.
