Phursey

Bitcoin is back above $97K for the first time in two months, helped by a brief risk-on wave after a Supreme Court delay and roughly $840M in spot ETF inflows. Shorts felt the pressure too, with about $275M liquidated, pushing sentiment closer to “greed.”

Still, the move isn’t clean. PPI surprised to the upside (3% vs 2.7%), rate cut optimism is cooling, and $BTC remains stuck in its broader range ahead of the FOMC in under two weeks. Until macro uncertainty clears, this rally risks being a squeeze driven pop, not a confirmed trend shift.

Bitcoin ETF flows just flipped hard to the upside. Spot $BTC ETFs absorbed $843M in a single session, wiping out a full week of outflows and bringing weekly inflows to ~$1.7B.

BlackRock led the charge, with $648M into IBIT, pushing total ETF AUM to $128B, now about 6.6% of Bitcoin’s market cap. As price grinds back toward $100K, the driver here isn’t hype, it’s persistent institutional demand, raising the odds this move has more depth than a simple bounce.

Markets don’t reward guesses, they reward preparation. Whether it’s $BTC $XAU or major FX pairs, having clear levels and structure matters far more than predicting headlines.

Tools like Bitget TradFi’s GetAgent help map out key zones, market structure, and risk before price starts moving. Watching how price reacts at those levels often says more than the news itself and in fast markets, discipline consistently beats impulse.

Crypto ETFs hit a 2026 high with $883M inflows, while $BTC breaks key resistance at $94K and the Fear and Greed Index climbs above 50. Institutional demand is back, shorts are unwinding, and early signs of a market recovery are forming, momentum is building, but caution remains.
$ETH

Been checking out TradFi platforms this week and honestly, some setups just feel smoother. Bitget came out with 200+ instruments across Metals, Forex, Indices and Commodities, while Binance barely started with two and more to come, possibly.

Jumping between $BTC Stocks and $XAU in the same app just works, MT5 feels solid, spreads stay tight, and small trades don’t get stuck.

Leverage tops at 500x, enough to be serious without taking crazy risks. Biget TradFi even hit $2B in daily volume within days. Makes you wonder how it feels if you’ve tried both.

Ethereum just printed a new all-time high in daily wallet creation (~393K), highlighting a surge in on-chain activity and user growth. ETH is now pressing into $3,340 resistance after a 6.5% daily rally, backed by a 90% spike in volume.

A confirmed break and close above $3,340 would open a path toward $3,800 (~14%), while rejection keeps $ETH vulnerable to another pullback, especially with trend strength still weak (ADX <25).

Bitcoin is stabilizing as derivatives pressure fades. After reclaiming $94K, aggressive futures selling has cooled, with Net Taker Sell Volume down nearly 10× from recent extremes, a sign that shorts are stepping aside and forced liquidations are easing.

Realized volatility is compressed near 23%, a level that historically precedes sharp range expansion. With momentum resetting, $BTC appears coiled for a decisive move as the market waits for its next catalyst.

Trading competitions are often assumed to favor only big accounts or top traders but the current Bitget Onchain Trading Competition shows a different pattern.

By focusing on BSC and $SOL tokens, the structure allows participation through regular trading and leaderboard movements reflect gradual shifts rather than sudden large trades.

Observing this setup provides insight into how structured onchain events can engage a broader range of traders.
$BNB

$BNB Smart Chain just shipped the Fermi upgrade, slashing block times by roughly 40% to ~0.45 seconds and improving throughput for DeFi and gaming use cases. The upgrade adds a fresh fundamental tailwind to the BNB ecosystem.

Markets reacted quickly: BNB broke above key short-term SMAs, momentum flipped bullish, and RSI (~58) suggests room to run without overheating. Resistance sits near $931, a clean break targets $950–$980, while rejection likely brings consolidation as traders wait for onchain confirmation.

Crypto trading activity hit new records in 2025. Combined CEX + DEX spot volumes reached ~$18.6T, up 9% YoY, while perpetual futures surged 29% to $61.7T, underscoring sustained leverage demand.

Liquidity remains highly concentrated: Binance handled ~41% of top-10 $BTC and altcoin spot volume, while Binance and Coinbase controlled the majority of stablecoin reserves, highlighting how a few major venues continue to shape market flow.

Shiba Inu whales are busy, transactions jumped 111%, yet $SHIB remains stuck in the $0.0000083–$0.0000089 range. Exchange reserves ticked up to ~82T, capping upside despite higher whale demand.

Thin volume and steady inflows mean a breakout is unlikely for now. Sustained outflows, stronger buying or bullish market conditions will be needed to push SHIB higher; otherwise, consolidation looks set to continue.

Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs are losing steam, giving back nearly all 2026 gains as fading Fed rate cut expectations trigger heavy outflows. Crypto ETPs shed $1.3B of the $1.5B inflows seen this month, with BTC ETFs hit hardest at $405M last week.

Altcoins, however, are bucking the trend: $XRP (+$45.8M), $SOL (+$32.8M), and SUI (+$7.6M) saw fresh inflows. While BTC and ETH retreat, investors appear to be rotating toward higher growth plays.
#FOMCWatch

XRP network growth is cooling fast. New $XRP addresses created in early 2026 have dropped over 65%, falling from 3,169 on Jan 1 to about 1,100 by Jan 12.

Slowing onboarding signals weaker retail demand and softer onchain activity, leaving XRP near $2.06, stuck around its 50 day SMA while the broader trend stays bearish below the 200-day.

BlackRock kicked off the week by moving ~$361M worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum to Coinbase Prime, including 3,743 $BTC ($339M) and 7,204 $ETH ($22M). The transfers sparked short-term selling pressure fears across the market.

However, these moves likely reflect ETF operations (creation/redemption, custody rebalancing) rather than outright selling. BTC trades near $90.8K and ETH around $3.1K, with volumes surging, signaling heightened activity, not panic.

Michael Saylor’s Strategy Inc. just bought $1.25B worth of Bitcoin, its largest $BTC purchase since July. The firm added 13,627 BTC between Jan 5-11, largely funded through at the market stock sales.

The move comes despite a $17.4B unrealized Q4 loss tied to BTC’s drawdown, reinforcing Strategy’s long-term conviction as Bitcoin trades near $90.7K.
