Market Signal Briefing

Bitcoin prices have reached their highest point in 2026, sparking predictions of a return to six figures this month.

Bitcoin topped $96,000 on Coinbase in early trading in Asia on Wednesday morning, according to TradingView.

It is the highest price the cryptocurrency has reached since November 16, marking a two-month high. BTC has now gained 9% since the beginning of 2026, as fears and panic from October’s record liquidation event are put behind us.

The move came after US President Trump urged Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell to cut interest rates following a lower-than-expected CPI print.

There is a good chance we retest the bull market support band relatively soon, commented analyst ‘Daan Crypto Trades’ on Tuesday. The band is “moving down at a fast pace while price is attempting to grind higher,” he observed.

“That retest is one we see every time. Whether it breaks back above or rejects is pretty pivotal for the next few weeks or months ahead.”

50-Week EMA is Crucial Fellow analyst Will Clemente observed that this rally on Bitcoin is “led by spot buying and getting faded by perps as funding goes negative while open interest rises + most spot volume in days.”

Negative perpetual futures funding rates, combined with rising open interest, suggest shorts are accumulating positions to counter the uptrend, potentially setting up for a short squeeze if spot demand persists.

“All eyes on the daily close now… hold above $94.5k and I believe we see continuation to $100k,” he added.

BTC’s daily close on Coinbase was $95,370 according to Tradingview, and the asset was trading at slightly below that level at the time of publishing.

Analyst ‘Stockmoney Lizards’ observed the 50-week exponential moving average, which “has been sort of a bull/bear indicator in the past years.”

“I continue to believe this is NOT the bear market yet,” he said before adding, “For my hypothesis to be true, BTC should be able to break through the weekly EMA50.”

The 50-week EMA is currently at $97,600, just $2,000 or so above current prices.

Bitcoin price action is now getting interesting.

Weekly EMA50 has been sort of a bull / bear indicator in the past years.

I continue to believe this is NOT the bear market yet.

For my hypothesis to be true, BTC should be able to break through the weekly EMA50.

Summarize this article with:

While the regulatory climate in the United States remains uncertain, bitcoin surprises by surpassing $95,700. This weekly high comes despite the postponement of the CLARITY Act review, a key text for crypto regulation. Where markets once reacted with panic, resilience now dominates. Should this be seen as a sign of market maturity or a deceptive lull ?

In brief Bitcoin reaches $95,700 despite the postponement of the CLARITY Act, a key text for crypto regulation in the United States. Markets respond calmly: no inflow to exchanges or massive selling observed. The BTC rally seems mainly driven by institutions, with retail investors remaining on the sidelines. The Coinbase Premium index remains negative, signaling a persistent weakness in demand on the US market. A BTC rebound despite the regulatory deadlock On January 13th, bitcoin reached a peak of $95,700, precisely when the US Senate committees announced the postponement of the CLARITY Act review, a bill aimed at clarifying the regulatory framework of the US crypto market.

This text, debated for months, was initially scheduled for a vote in January. John Boozman, chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, believes the delay is due to “unresolved disagreements over incentives related to stablecoins, DeFi oversight, and agency jurisdiction”.

Despite this, markets have not reacted with the usual nervousness seen in past regulatory episodes. Bitcoin briefly dropped below $91,000 before rising again, crossing the $95,700 mark during the US session.

Several data points reinforce the hypothesis of a market that has become more mature and less reactive to political uncertainty :

Net flows to exchanges remained low, indicating no massive move toward selling ; The on-chain SOPR (Spent Output Profit Ratio) indicator, which remains close to 1, shows low profit taking in this bullish phase ; No significant increase in on-chain spending volumes, indicating a voluntary inertia among BTC holders ; According to XWIN Research analysis, investors seem to anticipate a long-term horizon, without seeking to react short-term to the bill’s postponement. These elements suggest a form of structural stabilization in BTC holders’ behavior, where waiting prevails over panic. The market seems to view the CLARITY Act less as an immediate threat and more as a future integration step, whose precise timing has become secondary.

Weakened ETFs and retail investors’ disengagement Alongside this price rise, tensions persist on the institutional financial products side, particularly the spot Bitcoin ETFs.

Analyst Darkfost notes these funds have experienced the largest liquidity drop ever recorded, with over $6 billion withdrawn since the peak reached in October 2025. With an average realized price for these ETFs near $86,000, a large portion of institutional positions is now in latent unrealized losses.

Although flows have shown signs of stabilization over the past two weeks, this pressure on ETFs suggests that optimism is not widespread across the market.

Moreover, another concerning signal is the marked absence of retail investor demand in the current recovery. According to CryptoQuant data, 30-day BTC demand for small wallets (between $0 and $10,000) remains negative, sharply contrasting previous bullish phases.

Thus, the Coinbase Premium index, which measures the gap between Coinbase prices (dominating the US market) and those on other platforms, is still not positive. As CryptoGodJohn points out, “as long as we do not see a positive flow on Coinbase, a true bullish reversal is unlikely”.

The rise in the bitcoin price, despite the American regulatory deadlock, highlights an evolution in market behavior. Between the disengagement of retail investors and the retreat of institutional flows, the current trend could signal a transition phase. It remains to be seen if this resilience will hold without a concrete catalyst in the short term.

Senator Warren Calls for a Delay on World Liberty Financial Bank CharterWarren urges the OCC to delay WLFI's charter over Trump family financial ties.WLFI seeks national trust status for stablecoin services under new OCC authority.The senator warned that the OCC would oversee a firm linked to the sitting president’s interests.US Senator Elizabeth Warren has called on the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to delay its review of a national trust bank charter application filed by World Liberty Financial (WLFI) until the President divests from the company.

In a letter addressed to OCC Comptroller Jonathan Gould, Warren highlighted unprecedented conflicts of interest. According to her, these stem from the Trump family’s involvement in the venture.

Warren Presses OCC to Delay WLFI Bank CharterBeInCrypto reported that WLFI submitted its application last week, through its subsidiary WLTC Holdings LLC. It seeks to establish the World Liberty Trust Company, National Association (WLTC).

The proposed entity would specialize in stablecoin services. This includes the issuance and redemption of USD1, along with custody and conversion operations.

Warren’s letter argues that the President and his family’s ties to the business raise serious concerns. Under the GENIUS Act of 2025, the OCC became the primary regulator for federally licensed stablecoin issuers. 

This authority gives the agency responsibility for approving charters, supervising operations, and enforcing compliance. As a result, if WLFI were approved, the OCC would have direct and ongoing oversight of an entity tied to the President’s personal financial interests. The senator also highlighted that the family has “probably” earned more than $1 billion from WLFI and other cryptocurrency ventures.

“If the application is approved, you would promulgate rules that influence the profitability of the President’s company. You would also be responsible for directly supervising and enforcing the law against the President’s company—and its competitors. You would be in charge of these functions while serving at the pleasure of the President. In effect, for the first time in history, the President of the United States would be in charge of overseeing his own financial company,” the letter reads.

Notably, the website lists President Trump’s sons, Barron, Eric, and Donald Trump Jr., as co-founders of WLFI. It also lists the President as Co-Founder Emeritus.

A Co-Founder Emeritus is a former co-founder of a company who no longer holds an active executive or operational role. They are retained in an honorary, advisory, or symbolic capacity.

Furthermore, the senator emphasized that she had earlier reached out, raising concerns about this happening. At the time, she also sought clarification from the OCC on its plans to prevent President Trump’s “significant financial conflicts of interest” from affecting the banking regulator’s policy.

At the time, the OCC declined to respond, describing the scenario as hypothetical. With WLF’s application now formally submitted, Warren said those concerns have become immediate and concrete.

“Your dismissive response, and your willingness to rubber stamp the President’s dangerous agenda during your tenure as Comptroller, give me no confidence that you will fairly assess the application pursuant to the legal standard for approval,” Warren said.

The senator requested that the OCC commit in writing to delaying its review of the application until President Trump has fully divested from World Liberty Financial and any related family interests. She set a deadline of January 20 for a response from the agency.

“We have never seen financial conflicts or corruption of this magnitude. The United States Congress failed to address them when it passed the GENIUS Act into law—so it is incumbent for the Senate to address these real and serious conflicts of interest as it considers crypto market structure legislation. In the meantime, to mitigate the public’s legitimate concerns regarding Presidential corruption, you must delay review of this application until President Trump divests from WLF and eliminates all financial conflicts of interest involving himself or his family and the company,” Warren wrote.

This intervention echoes broader apprehensions within the US banking sector about extending national trust charters to cryptocurrency firms. The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) and the American Bankers Association (ABA) have expressed concerns about similar applications. This includes Ripple, Circle, Fidelity, Paxos, First National Digital Currency Bank, and BitGo.

Meanwhile, Warren’s stance on WLFI aligns with her prior scrutiny of Trump-affiliated cryptocurrency projects. In early 2025, she and Representative Jake Auchincloss pressed regulators, including the SEC and CFTC, to investigate the TRUMP and MELANIA meme coins launched by the President and first lady.

In brief Bitcoin advocacy groups sent a letter to congressional tax leaders urging the extension of de minimis exemptions to Bitcoin and major network tokens beyond stablecoins. The coalition proposed cash-like treatment for GENIUS-compliant stablecoins alongside a $25 billion market cap threshold for qualifying network tokens. The letter cited growing real-world use, noting that Bitcoin payments are now accepted by thousands of merchants across all 50 U.S. states. Bitcoin advocacy groups have pressed Congress to extend planned tax exemptions to Bitcoin and major network tokens beyond stablecoins, warning that limiting relief to dollar-pegged tokens alone would not resolve the compliance challenges facing millions of Americans who use crypto for everyday payments.

The Bitcoin Policy Institute, joined by Bitcoin Voter, Blocks, Crypto Council, Digital Chamber, MoonPay, River, and others, sent the letter on Sunday to Senate Finance Committee Chairman Michael Crapo and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith. 

Congress is considering limiting a de minimis exemption to only stablecoins, leaving out Bitcoin entirely.

Our letter published today explains why that would be a serious mistake. https://t.co/wyIO0zPv4p

— Conner Brown (@BitcoinConner) January 13, 2026

The coalition warned that current proposals to limit de minimis tax exemptions solely to payment stablecoins compliant with the GENIUS Act, signed into law in July, would undercut the very purpose of tax reform.

The letter arrives as lawmakers grapple with how to simplify tax reporting for crypto transactions, with the IRS still treating crypto as property, meaning even buying a coffee with Bitcoin triggers a taxable event requiring basis tracking and gain or loss calculations.

The letter also recommended cash-like treatment for GENIUS-compliant payment stablecoins with no transaction or annual limits, similar to physical cash. 

"Payment stablecoins do not operate in a vacuum; they run on open blockchain networks that rely on separate network tokens for consensus, security, and transaction execution," the coalition wrote, making the case that both asset types must receive relief for the policy to work in practice.

The coalition proposed a $25 billion market capitalization threshold to determine which network tokens qualify for exemptions, along with a $600 per-transaction limit and a $20,000 annual cap.

About 45 million Americans own crypto, led by Bitcoin, and Federal Reserve data shows that roughly 7 million Americans used Bitcoin or other network tokens for payments in 2024, the letter noted.

The groups say over 3,500 merchants across all 50 U.S. states now accept Bitcoin at the point of sale, making the country the largest jurisdiction for Bitcoin payments.

The push revives an effort that stalled in July when Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) failed to attach crypto tax amendments to President Donald Trump's reconciliation bill. 

Block founder Jack Dorsey rekindled the debate last October, calling for federal tax exemptions on everyday Bitcoin transactions as his payments company debuted crypto-integrated wallets for small businesses.

At the time, Lummis vowed to reintroduce the proposal in upcoming Senate sessions, calling it a key step toward Bitcoin adoption.

The urgency has heightened with new broker reporting rules requiring digital asset sales reporting on Form 1099-DA for transactions occurring on or after January 1, 2025, the coalition noted.

"Without calibrated de minimis relief, the result will be widespread discrepancies, unnecessary audit risk, and reporting complexity vastly disproportionate to the economic substance of the transactions involved," the letter says.

In brief Bitcoin’s share of the crypto market has slipped from midyear highs, signaling a rotation of investor interest toward Ethereum and other large-cap tokens. Ethereum is showing relative strength against Bitcoin, alongside rising network usage and transaction growth. Analysts say any sustained outperformance will depend on follow-through from ETFs, protocol upgrades and broader macro liquidity conditions. Ethereum may be poised to end years of lagging performance and finally outrun Bitcoin in 2026, driven by a regulatory overhaul and a confluence of key on-chain and market metrics.

Ethereum’s bull run since 2023 has yielded 160%, less than half of Bitcoin’s staggering 457% return, according to CoinGecko data. The difference in gains highlights Ethereum’s muted performance over the years despite improving market conditions.

But several catalysts suggest that the outlook could change.

Catalysts for EthereumThe first signal is a clear market rotation highlighted by a decline in Bitcoin’s dominance.

Bitcoin dominance, or the coin’s share of the total market, peaked in July at 66% and has since trended lower, suggesting diversification of investor interest into altcoins, including Ethereum.

The second signal can be viewed through the ETH/BTC ratio, which measures Ethereum’s performance relative to Bitcoin. It has risen 3.59% year-to-date, according to market data.

“A rising ETH/BTC ratio, coupled with stagnating Bitcoin dominance, has historically been associated with the start of an altcoin season,” Jimmy Xue, co-founder and COO of the quantitative yield protocol Axis, told Decrypt. “Analysts observe that this rotation is being fueled by investors seeking higher ‘beta’ exposure in the Ethereum ecosystem following the stability of the Bitcoin ETF market.”

The setup suggests “capital rotation rather than Bitcoin weakness” and “often precedes selective Ethereum and large-cap altcoin rallies,” Shivam Thakral, CEO of Indian exchange BuyUCoin, told Decrypt. 

However, prediction markets reflect skepticism about an imminent, broad-based altcoin rally. Users on Myriad assign only a 19% chance that an alt season will occur before April 2026. (Disclaimer: Myriad is owned by Decrypt’s parent company Dastan.)

Still, the rotation of capital and investor interest is underpinned by strengthening fundamentals. The total transaction count on the Ethereum network has grown 6.8% to 2.05 million in 2026, spiking 31% since mid-December, highlighting increased adoption.

Will these conditions translate into short-term outperformance for Ethereum? Both experts see a path, though they emphasize different catalysts.

Thakral points to increased demand from exchange-traded funds, Layer 2 adoption, fee burn dynamics, restaking growth, and renewed DeFi activity. Xue looks to successful protocol upgrades such as Fusaka, the Glamsterdam fork, and ERC-8004, which could position Ethereum as the primary settlement layer for the new "Agentic AI" economy.

Although Ethereum’s year-to-date return of 11% already outperforms Bitcoin’s 8.5%, Thakral said that these moves are likely cyclical rather than a regime shift, at least without sustained support from improving macroeconomic and liquidity conditions.

Vitalik Buterin called for the swift deployment of quantum-resistant technology for Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) on Monday, emphasizing its importance for long-term cryptographic safety.

Is Efficiency Worth Sacrificing For Security?Buterin took to X to voice his concerns about delaying quantum resistance in the name of efficiency.

“We should resist the trap of saying ‘let’s delay quantum-resistance until the last possible moment in the name of eking out more efficiencies for a while longer,'” the cryptocurrency mogul argued.

Buterin noted that while individual users can choose whether to adopt the new standard, the implementation must happen at the protocol level.

“Being able to say ‘Ethereum’s protocol, as it stands today, is cryptographically safe for a hundred years’ is something we should strive to get to as soon as possible,” he added.

The remarks come nearly a week after Buterin said that the Ethereum network should prioritize decentralization and resilience over efficiency and convenience.

The Quantum Threat: Are Cryptocurrencies Prepared?Buterin’s remarks come amid ongoing debates about the implications of quantum computing for the cryptocurrency market.

Jameson Lopp, Chief Security Officer at self-custody platform firm Casa, stated in December that upgrading Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), which involves migrating funds to a quantum-resistant version, could take up to a decade.

A 2024 study led by the University of Kent's School of Computing suggested that a protocol update to protect Bitcoin from quantum computing threats could require nearly 305 days of downtime if only 25% of the bandwidth is allowed for the process.

Digital asset management firm Grayscale said in a December report that quantum computing won’t have a significant impact on cryptocurrency valuations in 2026, while acknowledging that "Bitcoin and most other blockchains will eventually need to be updated for post-quantum tools."

Price Action: At the time of writing, ETH was exchanging hands at $3,335.49, up 6.81% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

Chiliz [CHZ] has rallied by 31.2% in January. However, the rally wasn’t a new year phenomenon like for most other altcoins. In fact, it traced back to the 25% 1-day gain made on Friday, 19 December.

This move broke the $0.035 local resistance zone, and CHZ bulls have not looked back since. At the time of writing, another, much longer-term supply zone had been flipped to support – A sign that Chiliz buyers were only getting warmed up.

Chiliz bulls have made notable progress in recent weeks. The 3-day timeframe showed that the $0.05 resistance zone, which CHZ had not managed to breach for most of 2025, was finally in bullish control at press time.

The gains came alongside strong buying pressure and a hike in demand. The D3 CMF climbed to +0.17 to reflect heavy capital inflows. The OBV also climbed past its highs of February 2025.

This could be a sign of serious intent from the bulls. Hence, more gains might be highly likely. To the north, the next price targets would be $0.067 and $0.1.

Is there a strong bearish argument for CHZ? In short, no. From a technical perspective, the Chiliz token seems to have strong bullish credentials. At the time of writing, volumes were strong, key long-term resistances were broken, and the Open Interest had nearly tripled over the past three weeks.

A bearish Bitcoin [BTC] price move could affect the sentiment in the altcoin market and halt the Chiliz bulls’ progress though.

Traders’ call to action – Buy the breakout

Source: CHZ/USDT on TradingView

The break past $0.05 might be a buying opportunity. However, some short-term patience might be necessary. The 4-hour chart revealed a bearish divergence between the price and the MFI indicator. This could see a brief pullback.

A pullback to the $0.0460-$0.0495 area would likely see a bullish reaction. This area was an imbalance on the H4 timeframe. This area also has a confluence with the 50-period moving average.

Given the importance of the $0.05 resistance over the past ten months, investors and swing traders can go long with a wider stop-loss around $0.0410-$0.0428. A move from here to $0.10 will still be likely.

Final Thoughts The Chiliz breakout past $0.05 is a bullish development that is likely to bring more demand to the market. The $0.10-level could be a feasible price target for the token in the coming weeks, despite bearish divergence on the 4-hour chart.

Ethereum digital asset treasury (DAT) BitMine has just staked another huge batch of Ether, bringing its total amount staked to over 1.5 million ETH. 

Tom Lee-chaired BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) added 186,560 ETH (worth around $625 million) to the “Beacon Depositor” address, reported Lookonchain on Wednesday.

This brings the total amount staked by the world’s largest Ethereum (ETH) DAT to 1,530,784 ETH, worth a whopping $5.13 billion, equating to 4% of the total 36 million ETH staked on the Beacon Chain.

This share could still increase as the company holds a total of just over 4 million ETH, of which 37% has now been staked. 

The move comes just a few days after it crossed the 1 million milestone in staked Ether. 

On Monday, the firm reported that it held 4,167,768 ETH, 192 Bitcoin (BTC), almost a billion dollars in cash, and a $23 million stake in Eightco Holdings.

Meanwhile, the Ethereum staking validator entry queue has skyrocketed to 2.3 million ETH, its highest level since August 2023. 

Bitmine continues to stack and stake Ether. Source: Arkham IntelligenceBitmine stock rises in after-hours tradingBitMine stock climbed 3.8% in after-hours trading on Tuesday to reach $32.35, according to Google Finance. 

The company has had a solid start to the year, with share prices gaining 11.5% year to date in tandem with the broader rise in crypto markets. 

Fundstrat’s Tom Lee, who chairs the firm, remains bullish on Ether and crypto in 2026 following a tumultuous end to 2025. 

“We continue to view the leverage reset post October 10th, 2025, as akin to the ‘mini crypto winter.’ 2026 is the year crypto prices recover and with stronger gains in 2027-2028,” said Lee on Monday. 

ETH price surges 7% on the dayMeanwhile, the price of Ether has just seen its largest daily gain in 2026, rising 7% over the past 24 hours. 

The asset tapped $3,375, its highest level since Dec. 10, on Coinbase in early trading on Wednesday, according to TradingView.

Ether is approaching the upper bands of a two-month sideways channel and needs to break resistance above $3,400 to see any further meaningful momentum.

The leading Bitcoin miner in the market by total hashrate, Bitdeer Technologies Group, has surpassed MARA Holdings to become the largest company in the world. 

Total hashrate refers to the total computer power utilized by a company for mining, encompassing both the mining machines owned and operated by the company itself and those operated on behalf of other companies. 

The change symbolizes a tectonic shift in mining, where, for a long time, MARA had been the first mining company, but Bitdeer’s rise reflects broader trends reshaping the industry.

“Bitdeer reported 71 EH/s capacity as of end December (~6% of global hash rate), +18% m/m, +229% y/y,” VanEck Head of Research Matt Sigel said on X. “Like other miners, they are actively selling everything they mine (and more) to fund the AI pivot.”

While differences in how these companies report figures make it difficult to declare a definitive leader, Bitdeer now controls a substantially higher total hashrate.

Bitdeer’s rise to the top Bitdeer is a technology company based in Singapore, focusing on mining Bitcoin using powerful machines that can solve extremely complex mathematical problems, as well as constructing high-performance computers for AI and other advanced computing applications.

The company developed its own mining machines, known as SEALMINER rigs, specifically designed for Bitcoin mining. By December 2025, these rigs had mined 636 Bitcoins, a significant increase from roughly 145 Bitcoins in December 2023. By this time, Bitdeer can self-mine around 55.2 EH/s, but it is mined in segments. The other sum of the power is created by hosting services and cloud services, in which Bitdeer helps others to run their machines.

The expansion of Bitdeer has included an increasing number of SEALMINER rigs that it owns and controls directly. Deployed across multiple locations, these  machines help the company generate more Bitcoin.”

Additionally, the company does not limit itself to Bitcoin mining. It is making investments in artificial intelligence and high-performance computer infrastructure in locations such as Canada, Ethiopia, Norway, and the United States. This implies that Bitdeer is attempting to establish a presence in the Bitcoin and high-performance computing sectors of the artificial intelligence industry.

What makes MARA different MARA Holdings is an older company that mines Bitcoin. It utilizes machines from another company, Bitmain, and operates numerous large data centers for its mining operations.

In contrast to Bitdeer, MARA typically attempts to retain the Bitcoin it mines, rather than selling it. It implies that MARA has amassed one of the largest treasuries of Bitcoin among publicly traded mining companies over the years. 

Moreover, MARA has access to 18 data centers primarily using Bitmain’s Antminer ASIC mining chips. While MARA is also diversifying into AI operations, the company primarily aims to hold its mined bitcoin, helping to bolster the second-largest BTC treasury among public companies. MARA holds over 55,000 BTC, compared to Strategy’s 687,000 BTC and Bitdeer’s 2,000. 

Bitdeer was founded in 2020 by Jihan Wu, who co-founded Bitmain and created Bitdeer after splitting from Micree Zhan. Its AI projects disappointed investors in the third quarter of 2025, with a disappointing financial return despite a 173.6% growth in revenue compared to the previous year. On the stock market, Bitdeer (BTDR) is up more than 4% to $12.78, and MARA was up over 2%, at $10.93, according to The Block.

Ethereum price started a major increase above the $3,160 resistance. ETH is now consolidating gains and might dip toward the $3,250 zone.

Ethereum started a downside correction after a major rally to $3,375. The price is trading above $3,300 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There was a break above a major bearish trend line with resistance at $3,140 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken). The pair could continue to move up if it stays above the $3,250 zone. Ethereum Price Revisits $3,350 Ethereum price remained stable above $31,20 and started a fresh increase, like Bitcoin. ETH price rallied above the $3,160 and $3,200 resistance levels.

There was a break above a major bearish trend line with resistance at $3,140 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The bulls even pumped the price above $3,300. A high was formed at $3,374, and the price is now correcting some gains.

Ethereum price is now trading above $3,300 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If the bulls can protect more losses below $3,300 or the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $3,061 swing low to the $3,374 high, the price could attempt another increase.

Source: ETHUSD on TradingView.com Immediate resistance is seen near the $3,340 level. The first key resistance is near the $3,380 level. The next major resistance is near the $3,420 level. A clear move above the $3,420 resistance might send the price toward the $3,500 resistance. An upside break above the $3,500 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $3,550 resistance zone or even $3,650 in the near term.

Downside Correction In ETH? If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,340 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,300 level. The first major support sits near the $3,250 zone.

A clear move below the $3,250 support might push the price toward the $3,220 support and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $3,061 swing low to the $3,374 high. Any more losses might send the price toward the $3,180 region.

TLDR: Energy producers can mine Bitcoin at production cost while Wall Street pays market premium prices. Bitcoin’s 21 million supply cap contrasts with unlimited fiat printing creating inflation protection. Stranded energy capacity can be monetized through mining without pipeline or transport infrastructure. Converting energy to Bitcoin eliminates currency debasement risk while maintaining market exposure.  Energy companies worldwide continue selling finite resources for depreciating fiat currencies while missing a fundamental economic opportunity. 

Industry analyst David highlights this pattern as potentially the largest capital misallocation in modern financial history. 

The conversion of energy directly into Bitcoin presents an alternative strategy that challenges conventional commodity trading practices.

Manufacturing Advantage Creates Unique Market Position Energy producers possess a structural advantage in Bitcoin acquisition that traditional investors cannot replicate. Companies can convert excess energy into Bitcoin at production cost rather than market price. 

This manufacturing discount eliminates the premium paid by institutional buyers on exchanges. The process transforms operational expenses into potential asset accumulation without requiring additional capital deployment.

Wall Street firms must purchase Bitcoin through open markets at prevailing rates. Energy companies bypass this markup entirely by mining cryptocurrency with their existing infrastructure. 

The cost differential between mining and market purchase creates a spread unavailable through conventional trading. 

This economic gap represents a persistent arbitrage opportunity tied directly to energy production capacity.

Mining operations can utilize stranded or curtailed energy that would otherwise generate minimal revenue. 

Remote facilities with limited grid access gain new monetization pathways. The strategy converts previously wasted capacity into a tradable digital asset with global liquidity.

Fixed Supply Dynamics Challenge Traditional Revenue Models Bitcoin’s hard cap of 21 million units contrasts sharply with fiat currency supply expansion. Energy companies accepting dollars for commodities exposure themselves to monetary policy decisions beyond their control. 

The analysis tweet from David emphasizes this point noting “When you sell energy for fiat, you import inflation. When you convert energy to Bitcoin, you export value into a fortress.”

The Greatest Capital Misallocation in History.

Energy producers are committing a multi-billion dollar error every single day.

We execute miracles of engineering.
We extract finite, real-world value.
And then we sell it for a currency mathematically programmed to lose 7-10% per… pic.twitter.com/EvvOyB7Pov

— David 🇺🇸 (@david_eng_mba) January 13, 2026

Historical data shows major currencies losing 7-10% annual purchasing power through inflation. Energy producers selling output for depreciating currency effectively discount their finite resources over time. The exchange trades physical constraints for political variables subject to government intervention.

Bitcoin’s predetermined issuance schedule removes third-party manipulation risk from the value equation. 

Energy companies holding Bitcoin maintain exposure to market volatility but eliminate debasement risk. 

This distinction fundamentally alters the long-term value proposition of resource extraction operations.

Nations with surplus energy capacity face a strategic decision point. Converting stranded energy into Bitcoin could build sovereign reserves without traditional banking infrastructure. 

The approach offers monetization without requiring pipeline construction or transportation networks. Energy producers adopting this framework early may secure competitive advantages that reshape industry economics.

Memecoins rode the broader cryptocurrency market rally on Tuesday, extending their impressive run this year.

Memecoins Rejoice On Crypto Bill ProgressFrog-themed Pepe lifted over 18%, claiming the top spot among large-cap gainers. The Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH)-based memecoin has rallied nearly 70% since the beginning of the year.

Solana (CRYPTO: SOL)-based Bonk (CRYPTO: BONK) followed Pepe with a 14% uptick, stretching its year-to-date returns beyond 56%.

Dogecoin, the world’s largest memecoin, joined in, rallying over 8% in the last 24 hours, while Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) lifted 5.80%. The two heavyweights are up more than 25% year to date.

Bitcoin has been locked in a tight consolidation range since late November, frustrating traders and fueling growing speculation about a major move ahead. Volatility has compressed, price has stabilized near key psychological levels, and market participants are increasingly divided on what comes next. Some analysts argue that this prolonged consolidation is laying the groundwork for a renewed upside recovery, while a broader consensus warns that Bitcoin could still face another leg lower before a sustainable trend emerges.

Adding to this uncertainty, top analyst Darkfost points to an important and potentially concerning on-chain development: the first signs of long-term holder (LTH) capitulation are beginning to surface. The last time Bitcoin traded at similar price levels was in April 2025, roughly nine months ago. Since then, a large portion of market participants accumulated BTC at higher prices and have continued to hold through the recent correction.

Today, many of those investors are sitting on unrealized losses. As a reminder, Bitcoin held for more than six months is classified as long-term holder supply, typically associated with higher conviction and lower sensitivity to short-term price moves. When this cohort begins to show signs of stress, it often marks a critical phase in the market cycle.

Whether this emerging LTH pressure becomes a brief shakeout or evolves into broader capitulation could play a decisive role in shaping Bitcoin’s next major move.

Early Signs of Long-Term Holder Capitulation Emerge What we are currently observing on the Long-Term Holder SOPR (Spent Output Profit Ratio) is a behavior that typically appears during bear market phases. LTH SOPR measures whether coins held for more than six months are being sold at a profit or a loss, offering insight into conviction among the most resilient cohort of Bitcoin investors.

Bitcoin Long-Term Holders SOPR High or Low Profit | Source: CryptoQuant In recent days, LTH SOPR briefly dipped below the critical 1.0 level. This signals that some long-term holders—most likely the younger segment of this group—have begun to capitulate by selling at a loss. Historically, such moves reflect rising stress among holders who bought closer to cycle highs and are now facing prolonged drawdowns.

For now, however, this behavior remains limited. The 30-day moving average of LTH SOPR still stands at a healthy 1.18, meaning long-term holders have realized an average profit of 18% over the past month. While this confirms that broad-based capitulation has not yet materialized, it is worth noting that this level is well below the annual average near 2.0, indicating a clear slowdown in realized profits.

A deeper deterioration would be bearish in the short term, signaling expanding sell pressure. Conversely, declining realized profits may also suggest that traders are gradually exhausting selling pressure. For a bullish continuation to develop, LTH SOPR would need to stabilize and begin trending higher again, confirming renewed confidence among long-term holders.

Bitcoin Price Consolidates Below Key Resistance Bitcoin continues to trade within a well-defined consolidation range after the sharp correction from the October highs. On the weekly chart, price is holding just below the $92,000–$94,000 resistance zone, an area that previously acted as support before the breakdown. This level now represents a key inflection point for market structure.

BTC consolidates above weekly support level | Source: BTCUSDT chart on TradingView Despite the recent volatility, Bitcoin remains above its rising 200-day moving average, which continues to slope upward near the mid-$80,000 region. This suggests that the broader trend remains constructive, even as short-term momentum has weakened. The 100-day moving average has flattened, reflecting a loss of upside momentum, while the 50-day average is still attempting to stabilize after rolling over during the sell-off.

Price action over the past several weeks shows a series of higher lows, indicating that buyers are gradually stepping in and absorbing selling pressure. However, volume has declined during this consolidation, signaling a lack of strong conviction from either side of the market. This behavior is typical of compression phases that often precede larger directional moves.

A sustained break and weekly close above $94,000 would signal renewed strength and open the door for a move toward the $100,000–$105,000 range. Conversely, failure to hold above the $86,000–$88,000 support zone would increase downside risk and shift focus toward deeper retracements. For now, Bitcoin remains in balance, building tension for its next decisive move.

Coinbase Custody serves as the custodian for the fund’s digital assets, while Bitwise acts as sponsor and manager. Key Takeaways The Bitwise Chainlink ETF gets approval for listing on NYSE Arca. Trading for the ETF could start as soon as tomorrow. Bitwise’s Chainlink ETF has been cleared for listing on NYSE Arca following regulatory approval. The product could begin trading as early as tomorrow.

The Bitwise Chainlink ETF is designed to offer investors exposure to the price of Chainlink (LINK), the 20th largest crypto asset by market capitalization, through a traditional brokerage account that aims to lower operational and custody barriers for investors who want exposure to the asset without holding or managing tokens themselves.

The fund will directly hold LINK, with shares set to trade on NYSE Arca under the ticker CLNK. It will not engage in staking; however, Bitwise plans to seek approval to add staking as a secondary objective in the future, which could allow the trust to earn additional LINK over time.

The ETF charges a 0.34% management fee. For the first three months after listing, Bitwise will waive the full sponsor fee on the first $500 million of assets, temporarily reducing costs for early investors.

Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network that enables smart contracts on blockchains to securely interact with external data sources and off-chain systems.

LINK was trading at $14 at press time, up 7.5% in the last 24 hours, per CoinGecko. The gains follow a market-wide rebound earlier today that lifted Bitcoin to $96,000.

The Bitwise Chainlink ETF is the second US spot fund tied to LINK, approved shortly after Grayscale converted its Chainlink Trust into a spot ETF (GLNK) late last month. The GLNK fund has reached $87.5 million in assets, per the latest disclosure.

U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren has called on the country’s banking regulators to temporarily stop considering a bank charter application by World Liberty. This is primarily because the company is connected with President Donald Trump.

Warren Warns of World Liberty Charter Application Senator Elizabeth Warren has written a stern letter to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). She demanded that a review of a national trust bank charter application from WLFI be stopped immediately. The crypto company was co-founded by President Trump and members of his family.

In her letter to the OCC’s Comptroller Jonathan Gould, Warren stated that the continued review by the OCC may have a negative effect on the integrity of the federal banking oversight process.

She referred to the warnings that she issued over the summer. She had asked how the agency could ensure that the financial interests of the president do not get reflected in the regulatory decisions that it makes. When that happened, Gould said that it was purely speculative at that time.

Warren argues that these fears have come to fruition. She stated signing the World Liberty application means the President will be in a position where he can indirectly control his own financial business through a national regulator, whom he will be able to remove at will.

“If the application is approved, you would promulgate rules that influence the profitability of the President’s company. You would also be responsible for directly supervising and enforcing the law against the President’s company and its competitors.”

The controversy comes after WLFI confirmed the filing of a formal application with the federal government to obtain a nationally chartered trust bank license. The company has also formed a new subsidiary, WLTC Holdings LLC, and filed a de novo application with the OCC.

Warren asked in the letter that the OCC temporarily halt its review of the application. She also said this should remain until President Trump had entirely divested himself of his World Liberty interests.

Wider Criticism of Trump’s Crypto Involvement Expands This comes against the backdrop of a growing public concern with Trump’s growing involvement with digital currencies. Charles Hoskinson recently expressed his lack of confidence in the current political direction being taken by the industry.

These warnings have also appeared in November of the previous year. A report was released by Jamie Raskin in the capacity of the Democratic Party Report Staff. It suggested that Trump took advantage of his investments in crypto like World Liberty in order to accumulate wealth.

President Trump is also named, together with his other sons Barron, Eric, and Donald Trump Jr., as one of the co-founders of this platform. Based on public disclosures, WLFI has garnered billions of dollars in value from the crypto activities.

Corporate digital asset treasuries (DATs) added a net 260,000 Bitcoin to their balance sheets over the past six months, far outpacing the estimated 82,000 coins mined over the same period. 

Over the past six months, Bitcoin (BTC) treasuries held by public and private companies have increased from approximately 854,000 BTC to 1.11 million BTC, on-chain analytics provider Glassnode reported on Tuesday.

This equates to an expansion of around 260,000 BTC, worth roughly $25 billion at current market prices, or 43,000 BTC per month.

The growth in treasuries highlights “the steady expansion of corporate balance-sheet exposure to Bitcoin,” stated Glassnode.

Bitcoin miners, which produce on average 450 BTC per day, mined around 82,000 coins over the same period, which could indicate a favorable supply-demand dynamic at play.

Bitcoin DAT balances increased 30% in six months. Source: GlassnodeStrategy has 60% of the total BTC balanceThe lion’s share of the 1.2 million BTC held in public and private company treasury balances is held by Michael Saylor’s Strategy.

Strategy currently holds 687,410 BTC, or 60% of the total, worth around $65.5 billion at current market prices. 

The firm resumed its purchases this month after a brief hiatus, revealing that it acquired an additional 13,627 BTC between January 5 and 11 in its largest purchase since July.

The second-largest corporate Bitcoin DAT is MARA Holdings with 53,250 BTC worth around $5 billion, according to Bitcoin Treasuries.  

Bitcoin ETFs could add to demand Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds could add to this supply-and-demand dynamic if the inflow trend continues this year. “Bitcoin’s price will go parabolic if ETF demand persists long-term,” said Bitwise chief investment officer Matt Hougan on Tuesday.

“Since ETFs debuted in Jan 2024, they’ve been buying more than 100% of the new supply of bitcoin. But the price hasn't gone parabolic, because existing holders have been willing to sell. If ETF demand persists - and I think it will - eventually, these sellers will run out of ammo.”Spot BTC ETFs in the US saw net inflows of almost $22 billion in 2025, with BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) taking the lion’s share. 

However, they have had a mixed start to 2026 with current data showing $1.9 billion inflows and $1.38 billion outflows, resulting in a net aggregate inflow of just over $500 million.

Solana started a fresh increase above the $142 zone. SOL price is now consolidating above $142 and might aim for more gains above the $150 zone.

SOL price started a fresh upward move above the $142 and $145 levels against the US Dollar. The price is now trading above $142 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There is a bullish trend line forming with support at $140 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could extend gains if it clears the $150 resistance zone. Solana Price Starts Fresh Surge Solana price started a decent increase after it settled above the $135 zone, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL climbed above the $140 level to enter a short-term positive zone.

The price even smashed the $142 resistance. The bulls were able to push the price above $145. A high was formed at $148, and the price is now consolidating gains. There was a minor decline below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent upward move from the $138 swing low to the $148 high.

A successful close above the $155 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $162. Any more gains might send the price toward the $170 level.

Downside Correction In SOL? If SOL fails to rise above the $148 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $144 zone. The first major support is near the $143 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent upward move from the $138 swing low to the $148 high.

A break below the $143 level might send the price toward the $140 support zone and the trend line. If there is a close below the $140 support, the price could decline toward the $135 support in the near term.

Alexandria and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.

On October 27, 2025, post-market, the Company disclosed financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 that were below expectations, including cuts to its FFO guidance for the full-year 2025, due to lower occupancy rates, slower leasing activity and most notably, a real estate impairment charge of $323.9 million with $206 million attributed to its LIC property.

On this news, the price of Alexandria’s shares fell from a closing market price of $77.87 per share on October 27, 2025 to $62.94 per share on October 28, 2025, a decline of about 19% in the span of just a single day.

SHANGHAI, Jan 14 (Reuters) - BGI Genomics (300676.SZ), opens new tab and Roche Diagnostics (ROG.S), opens new tab have rolled out tests for Alzheimer's disease in China, the companies said, in an effort to expand access to easier-to-use diagnosis and monitoring choices for patients with the brain-wasting condition.

In a statement, BGI Genomics said doctors are using a blood test it developed, opens new tab as an auxiliary tool in Guangzhou, Qingdao, Shenzhen and Wuhan to evaluate the disease's progression and the risk of onset.

Sign up here.

Switzerland's Roche also said in a statement that its team in China was working with a local regulatory authority to make its own test measuring pTau181, a key protein associated with Alzheimer's disease, available to patients in Boao, Hainan province.

The Roche test was put into clinical use at a hospital in Boao, the official Hainan Daily reported on Monday. Roche did not respond to questions related to the report.

Blood tests could speed up diagnosis of the disease and make it easier to access treatments such as Biogen (BIIB.O), opens new tab and Eisai's (4523.T), opens new tab Leqembi and Eli Lilly's (LLY.N), opens new tab Kisunla, since traditional tests are often costly or uncomfortable.

Other options to detect Alzheimer's include a spinal tap, which requires an invasive puncture to collect spinal fluid, or an expensive PET brain scan.

BGI Genomics said its test cannot be used as standalone evidence for an Alzheimer's diagnosis and treatment, citing a possibility of a small number of failures, but doctors said it was helpful for early screening.

Roche said a negative test for pTau181 with its product meant "most people can avoid further unnecessary investigations for Alzheimer’s using CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) or PET and can be put on the appropriate pathway for their condition."
