Bitcoin reached a new 2026 peak at $97,103.25. It increased by 1.17 per cent and 6.39 per cent in the past 24 hours and last week respectively. I have been monitoring the price of BTC, and the fact that it reverted to the position at the 50-day moving average at around 92,200 dollars indicates a strong backing of the big investors. In the meantime, Ethereum remains firm above the mark of $3,350, indicating that the main crypto assets remain healthy despite others, such as BNB, having minor fluctuations.
On January 13, Spot Bitcoin ETFs gained an enormous amount of $753.8 million. This is an indication that there are many institutional investors who are purchasing. Morgan Stanley desires to introduce ETFs tracking Bitcoin, Solana and Ethereum, a major move toward conventional finance. The BTC has been purchased by government treasuries as well and government treasuries have approximately added 260,000 BTC over the past six months. It is nearly triple the amount miners made within the same period. This blend of individual and institutional purchasing indicates increased support to Bitcoin.
Market regulatory adjustments bring about a greater clarity in the market. The Congress is picking up pace with the Clarity Act and providing a clear outline that may put an end to the skepticism of institutions. To top it, inflation is moderating, the 2025 CPI in December was the lowest in four years, 2.6. All these silently raise the risk appetite and contribute to the overall market stability.
The U.S. stock market is at a stage of Rotation Nation. Investors are leaving behind the high-value tech stocks and investing in the value sectors. Bitcoin is not as closely associated with Nasdaq as it has a correlation of 0.83. It implies that crypto is serving as a standalone hedge. In my case, this demonstrates the existence of Bitcoin beyond speculation as it can be used as a risk and liquidity tool in uncertain equity markets.
In technical terms, the RSI of BTC has shifted out of the neutral range with a new bullish momentum. The S&P 500 seems tired near 7,000. Etheremonitors a positive triangle on the level of over $3,000 and may penetrate close to 4,000 dollars. These changes have also made me remember that I need to be patient and disciplined and look at market fluctuations rather than temporary fluctuations.
The psychological level of the $100,000 level is the next challenge as Bitcoin continues to circle around new highs. Potential continued momentum has a good background in institutional inflows, regulatory clarity and market rotation. To long-term observers such as myself, it acts as a reminder that the long-term trends in buying are more obvious than the reactive buying.

U.S. stocks fell across the board Monday after former President Donald Trump intensified attacks on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and cast fresh uncertainty on trade policy, unnerving investors.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped more than 971 points, or 2.48%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite each lost over 2.36% and 2.55%, respectively. The sell-off was led by steep losses in tech, with Tesla and Nvidia down 7% and 6%, and Amazon, AMD, and Meta each falling around 4%.
In a Truth Social post, Trump referred to Powell as “Mr. Too Late, a major loser,” urging the Fed to cut interest rates immediately.
The former president has floated the idea of removing Powell from his position, raising questions about the central bank’s independence.
The dollar weakened sharply, falling to its lowest level since 2022, while gold surged past $3,400 per ounce for the first time on record.
Bitcoin also jumped before settling in above $87,000.


China VS. USA
Markets are also grappling with heightened trade tensions. China cut back on imports of various U.S. commodities last month, with some items seeing a complete halt in purchases, as tensions in the trade war between the two largest economies escalated.
China issued fresh warnings to countries considering trade deals with the U.S. that could undermine Chinese interests.
Since Trump unveiled a new round of tariffs on April 2, the S&P 500 has declined by more than 8%, with the Nasdaq and Dow down by nearly 10% and 9%, respectively.
As earnings season ramps up, investors will be closely watching Tesla and Alphabet reports for signs of further cracks in the economy.

The Singapore Exchange (SGX) has revealed plans to introduce Bitcoin perpetual futures before the end of 2025, targeting institutional and professional investors. 
Follow LACHAKARI Crypto

This marks SGX’s strategic move to expand its product suite amid growing global interest in crypto assets. It aligns with broader trends of traditional financial institutions integrating crypto products.
Notably, unlike traditional futures contracts, perpetual futures do not have an expiration date. This allows investors to trade continuously based on the direction of Bitcoinprices.
Bolstering Institutional Confidence in Bitcoin
Industry leaders believe SGX’s entry into crypto derivatives is a significant step in framing Bitcoin as a legitimate asset.
Darius Sit, founder of the crypto-asset trading firm QCP, noted that SGX’s Bitcoin product would serve as a strong signal to institutional investors. Specifically, he claimed it helps position Bitcoin not as a speculative asset but as one worthy of consideration as an investment-grade instrument.
Ong Chengyi, APAC head of policy at Chainalysis, echoed this sentiment. Chengyi described the move as a step toward firmly establishing Bitcoin as a legitimate investment asset suitable for inclusion in professional portfolios.
Shi Le, managing director at crypto trading firm Auros, pointed out that perpetual futures are popular in the crypto trading arena. However, SGX’s product introduces a regulated alternative. Given its familiar and accessible structure, this could appeal more to participants from traditional finance.
Moreover, the product could be a hedging tool for institutions, similar to how ETFsbrought crypto into mainstream investing.

Furthermore, Chengyi highlighted that SGX’s Bitcoin perpetual futures offer a transparent avenue for institutional investors to enter the crypto market while mitigating counterparty risks.  
According to Robert Krugman, Broadridge’s executive, the launch could also prompt exchanges worldwide to consider offering comparable products.  
Notably, SGX will prioritize risk management and market integrity as it introduces this new product. Etelka Bogardi of Norton Rose Fulbright emphasized that the exchange must follow stringent procedures under Singapore’s Securities and Futures Act. These procedures include tools like leverage limits, margin requirements, standardized contracts, and clearing controls.
Looking Ahead
With major global financial institutions like Standard Chartered and Fidelity already active in crypto custody, SGX’s entry into perpetual futures may only be the beginning. The launch could catalyze further institutional interest and set the stage for broader crypto product innovation in regulated markets.
As QCP’s Darius Sit put it: “Hopefully, this is the first Bitcoin product of many to come.”
