BTC rises to 97,000 USD despite rising U.S. inflation – is the market ignoring bad news?
BTC rises to 97,000 USD despite rising U.S. inflation In today's U.S. market open, Bitcoin suddenly surged to the 97,000 USD range, despite the latest U.S. November PPI data coming in higher than expected. Specifically, both PPI and core PPI rose 3%, while the market had expected around 2.7%. Normally, such news would trigger strong selling of risk assets, but this time BTC showed little negative reaction and even continued to rise.
BTC and Gold – Revisiting Cycles So You Don't Lose the Rhythm
If we look back at market history, a fascinating pattern emerges: during bull runs, gold typically leads the way, followed by $BTC — but when it does move, it does so with great strength. On the chart, gold is often the leading asset in a move. After gold breaks out of the accumulation zone and confirms an uptrend, Bitcoin usually doesn't surge immediately. Instead, there's a period of sideways movement and volatility, causing many traders to lose motivation and patience.
On-chain data shows a significant decline in the number of UTXOs spent by Bitcoin OGs. Here, I define OGs as those holding $BTC whose coins have not moved in over 5 years. Previously, I used the 7-year mark, but given Bitcoin's current age, 5 years is a more reasonable threshold for comparing across cycles. UTXO is the core mechanism ensuring each BTC is spent only once. Each transaction records the timestamp, address, and value, allowing us to track the behavior of long-term holder groups.
The situation is that the bitcoin is nearly touching the 98k mark tonight, guys. It's likely to reach the 99k zone tonight, which would be ideal. However, guys, please note that there's significant liquidity around the 99k zone, which is also a crucial liquidity level. According to my timing, $BTC won't break through this zone immediately but will adjust slightly around the 93k zone before continuing its upward surge. At this stage, many altcoins are experiencing strong pumps.

After a period of extreme fear, market sentiment is showing signs of recovery. The Fear & Greed Index has just risen above the 25 percentile level, indicating that psychological pressure is easing after a significant panic in this cycle.
This index has increased from 23.3% — a level typically seen when the market begins to pass through its most fearful phase.
Short-term and medium-term sentiment indicators are also rising, suggesting that buying pressure is gradually returning, although still cautious.
A positive sign is that despite the poor sentiment, Bitcoin has maintained its long-term trend structure, a signal often seen before the market regains momentum.
If this recovery continues, $BTC may be transitioning from the 'panic-selling' phase to a recovery and accumulation phase. Follow HTP96 to stay updated with the latest market information! $BTC
Bitcoin breaks bearish pattern, but still faces strong resistance zone
$BTC on the daily time frame has just confirmed the breakdown of the bearish flag pattern right after the close of the session. This is a positive signal, but in my view, it's not yet sufficient for traders to expect the price to quickly return to all-time highs. The reason lies in the resistance zone above. Currently, the price is facing a significant technical cluster, including SMA and EMA lines on daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes, along with VWAP, on-chain support/resistance levels, and potential trend lines. When multiple factors converge in the same area, the likelihood of price stalling or being rejected is something traders should consider.
The Bitcoin cycle is opening the possibility of a bottom in 2026
The Bitcoin cycle is opening the possibility of a bottom in 2026 As we enter 2026, I see the Bitcoin market $BTC standing at a clear crossroads: either the uptrend continues, or the market has quietly entered the early phase of a deeper correction. Based on cyclical analysis, on-chain analyst Ali Martinez leans toward the second scenario, suggesting Bitcoin could bottom around October 2026. With experience observing many cycles, I find this argument by no means unfamiliar.
Bitcoin ETFs Face Record Withdrawal Pressure as Market Liquidity Weakens
In my view, the market is experiencing the most severe ETF liquidity decline seen to date. With an average actual price of the ETF fund flow around $86,000, most of the capital poured in after the October 2025 all-time high is now in an unrealized loss position, creating significant psychological pressure on the institutional investor group. During the same period, over $6 billion was withdrawn from the spot Bitcoin market, marking the largest ETF outflow since these products were approved.
Bitcoin enters a sensitive zone as whales experience losses for the first time in the cycle
The recent correction of $BTC , in my opinion, is exerting clear pressure on large investors. For the first time in this cycle, many whales have entered an unrealized loss position—a relatively rare signal that typically appears when the market approaches deep correction phases. Price is currently fluctuating around key support levels such as the 50-day MA and the VWAP anchored from the halving period, while on-chain stress indicators are sending signals similar to previous 'capitulation' phases.
Liquidity is returning to Binance: signs of whales and large capital flows are back
Binance is reactivating its YoY flywheel, and when reviewing 2025 data, I see a trend that's hard to ignore. Across BTC deposits, stablecoin inflows, and derivatives volume, liquidity is no longer scattered as before but is clearly concentrating on Binance. This isn't a subjective feeling, but something consistently visible when I zoom out and analyze multi-year data. The most notable point for me is the $BTC deposits. During 2021–2023, average BTC deposits were only 0.3–0.9 BTC — clearly retail. But from 2024 onward, the capital flow structure changed completely: 2–4 BTC, then stabilizing at 4–6 BTC throughout 2025.
Market situation at the beginning of the year is quite green, many altcoins are also pumping strongly, especially the Bnb chain group
Specifically, for $BTC , as I see, the liquidity zone at 92-95k has been swept clean, and now a new liquidity zone is forming above 98-99k
In case Bitcoin fails to sweep the upper zone, there is a possibility of a pullback to the previous 92k-93k range, guys My current BTC plan has reached TP, so I've closed all positions and will wait for a pullback before boarding the next move.

If there's a BNB season comeback wave, it's highly likely BNB will continue to be pushed forward in the coming period
Brothers, watch for buy scap on $BNB 900, target will be 1000-1100$, this order will mainly focus on scap, additionally, following $CAKE will also be pushed together with this BNB wave

Bitcoin Mining Difficulty Drops in First Adjustment of 2026
On January 11, 2026, Bitcoin network mining difficulty saw a slight decrease during the first adjustment of the year, following a period of continuous record highs throughout 2025. According to data, difficulty has dropped to approximately 146.4 trillion, reflecting a minor change in block mining speed across the network. Data from CoinWarz shows the next difficulty adjustment is expected on January 22, 2026, with a slight increase to around 148.2 trillion likely.
Many Bull Run 2026 scenarios emerge, investors remain cautious
In January, the market began to inch upward, not noisy but enough to create a familiar feeling. Everyone sensed something 'off'—something they had seen before.
In February, BTC rebounded more noticeably, confidence slowly returned, the timeline became less gloomy, and people started talking about the market more instead of staying silent.
In March, altcoins surged, FOMO spread rapidly, and the question 'How high will it go?' appeared frequently.
By April, there was a mild bull trap; many believed this was just a necessary correction before continuing upward, so they held their positions tightly, even adding more.
In May, there was a sell-off, emotions began to overpower logic. By June, bears showed their faces, the market cooled significantly, liquidity dwindled, leaving only those with enough patience to stay. Personally, I find this scenario quite unlikely.
In the current landscape of the cryptocurrency market, altcoins are gradually taking center stage in terms of liquidity. Specifically, altcoins currently account for approximately 50% of the total trading volume across the entire market, surpassing Bitcoin at 27% and Ethereum at 23%. This is a notable shift compared to previous cycles, when $BTC and $ETH usually dominated. The rise in altcoin trading volume clearly reflects a return of risk appetite among investors.
$BTC generally performed quite well in Q1. The last time Q1 was truly poor was in 2018, when prices dropped nearly in half within the first three months of the year. In recent years, the situation has been completely different. Q1 is usually a relatively positive period, or at least stable. Even in 2022, the beginning of a prolonged bear cycle – the market in Q1 was mostly flat rather than crashing heavily.
When discussing data protection in blockchains, I always notice an intentional ambiguity. Many systems talk about privacy, but in reality, they are only talking about making data 'hard to read,' not controlling data at the architectural level. So when looking at DUSK, the question that interests me is not whether they use zero-knowledge, but rather which layers of the system actually protect user data, and which do not.
Is DUSK Truly Decentralized? An Architectural Analysis
I've been quite cautious whenever I see a chain claiming to be 'decentralized,' especially those targeting enterprise or compliance. My past experience shows these two often conflict: the more you want control, the harder it is to achieve real decentralization. So when looking at DUSK, the first question I ask myself isn't 'what technology are they using?', but rather how truly decentralized is this network, and what trade-offs did they make to achieve it?
