Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Market Update (Wednesday Afternoon, 17:10)
Bitcoin surged 2.08% to $97,233.75 at 17:10, up from $95,257.13 the previous day. The finanzen.net Top 10 Crypto-ETP, tracking the leading ten cryptocurrencies, gained 1.9% and has risen 42.1% since its September 2024 launch, benefiting investors automatically.
Key Performers
Ethereum climbed 1.23% to $3,361.31 from $3,320.34. Litecoin advanced 2.65% to $80.02 from $77.96, while Monero jumped 6.41% to $725.12 from $681.42. Solana rose 1.57% to $147.47 from $145.19, Chainlink increased 1.70% to $14.27 from $14.03, and Avalanche edged up 0.76% to $14.84 from $14.72. Binancecoin gained 0.17% to $943.99 from $942.39.

Bitcoin has surged back above $95,000, sparking a market rotation as capital shifts from the leading asset to major altcoins like XRP, Solana (SOL), and BNB, which often outperform in such phases. This "catch-up" wave is fueled by Bitcoin's psychological milestone, reducing market pressure and enabling risk-on trading. Barron's highlights improved sentiment around clearer US crypto regulations, providing stability for institutional inflows.
U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $753.7 million in net inflows—the strongest day since October—led by BlackRock and Fidelity, pushing total ETF Bitcoin custody above $120 billion. CoinDesk describes this as a classic risk appetite comeback, with shorts squeezed and momentum building. Yahoo Finance echoes the robust flows supporting Bitcoin's $95,000 recovery.
XRP gains from Ripple's Europe expansion, including a provisional EMI approval in Luxembourg, blending news momentum and legitimacy. Solana drives growth as a high-speed chain attracting liquidity, while BNB offers utility through its ecosystem, exchange power, and burn narrative. This trio leads the rotation: XRP for momentum, SOL for beta, BNB for value.
However, the rally is fragile—Bitcoin must remain stable, altcoin/BTC pairs must show gains, and volume needs sustainability. Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER), a Layer 2 project for faster BTC transactions via SVM engine (as per CoinMarketCap and Business Insider), emerges as a high-beta play in presale, tied to Bitcoin scaling narratives. Discipline is key amid volatility.
Financial advisors are shifting crypto allocations from speculative "toe dips" to risk-managed sleeves, funding them by cutting equities (43%) and cash (35%), per Bitwise and VettaFi's 2026 benchmark survey. Among portfolios with crypto exposure, 47% allocate 2-5%, 17% exceed 5% (12% 5-10%, 3% 10-20%, 2% >20%), while 14% hold <1% and 22% 1-2%; 83% cap below 5%. Volatility concerns rose to 57% in 2025, regulatory uncertainty at 53%, yet 99% plan to maintain or increase exposure in 2026. Access has improved: 42% of advisors can buy crypto in client accounts, up from 35% in 2024 and 19% in 2023; 32% now allocate, up from 22% in 2024. Personally, 56% own crypto, up from 49% in 2024, with 42% preferring index funds for diversification.
Major firms provide explicit guidance: Fidelity Institutional suggests 2-5% Bitcoin allocations to enhance retirement outcomes, limiting worst-case loss to <1%. Morgan Stanley recommends up to 4% for aggressive portfolios, 3% growth, 2% balanced, 0% conservative. Bank of America deems 1-4% appropriate for volatility-tolerant investors via crypto ETFs. Invesco and Galaxy's white paper models 1-10% allocations. Custodians like Fidelity, BNY Mellon, and State Street enable infrastructure.
Institutionally, State Street's 2025 survey shows >50% hold <1% digital assets, but 60% plan >2% next year; average 7%, targeting 16% in three years. AIMA and PwC report 55% of hedge funds hold crypto (up from 47%), averaging 7%. Authors: Gino Matos and Liam Wright (CryptoSlate).
Bitcoin surged past $95,000 on Tuesday, trading at $95,250 according to Coingecko, marking a 4.50% gain over 24 hours. Analysts attribute the rally to spot buying rather than derivatives, with crypto analyst Will Clemente noting on X that it's "led by spot buying." This direct demand for the asset, combined with $269 million in Bitcoin short positions liquidated, created a short squeeze that fueled upward momentum. Open interest rose while perpetual funding turned negative, and spot volume hit multi-day highs.
Traders predict a swift push to $100,000, with dips seen as buying opportunities. Polymarket odds show 51% chance of Bitcoin hitting $100,000 by Feb. 1 and 23% for $105,000. The asset last traded below $100,000 on Nov. 13, establishing key resistance. Historically, January averages a modest 4% gain since 2013, while February delivers 13%.
Support holds at $90,000 amid tight price action in a narrow band, ahead of US inflation data influencing rate cut bets. Safe-haven demand persists due to geopolitics and central bank concerns. Santiment warns that teasing $100,000 could spark retail FOMO, boosting Ethereum and other cryptos, though macro risks could reverse flows.

CleanSpark's Expansion and Bitcoin Surge
On January 14, 2026, CleanSpark (CLSK) stock rallied 6.3%, surpassing its 50-day moving average, after announcing a major data center project in Brazoria County, Texas. The Henderson, NV-based bitcoin miner agreed to purchase up to 447 acres and secure a long-term transmission extension for up to 300 MW of power, expandable to 600 MW, supporting AI and high-performance computing (HPC). The deal, expected to close this quarter pending approvals, follows a 271-acre acquisition in Austin County in October 2025, creating a >890 MW hub in ERCOT's Houston region. CEO Matt Schultz highlighted accelerating AI demand and constrained power access. Northland initiated coverage with an outperform rating and $22.50 price target, a 79% premium to CLSK's $12.55 close on January 13, noting opportunities in HPC leases. Shares are up 38% from late November lows but below the October 15, 2025, high of $23.61.
Bitcoin surged above $97,500 on January 14 afternoon, continuing a Tuesday rally from below $92,000 on January 12, fueled by a tamer-than-expected December Consumer Price Index, boosting Federal Reserve rate cut hopes.
Senate Crypto Legislation Debate
The Senate Banking Committee is set for a January 15 markup on the CLARITY Act, providing digital asset market structure, with over 75 amendments filed. Key issues include stablecoin rewards; the GENIUS Act (signed last year) bans them, but loopholes allow indirect payments via exchanges, per the American Bankers Association (ABA). The ABA urged closing this in early January, citing $6.6 trillion in bank deposits at risk. Other topics: ethics for public officials in crypto, and DeFi platforms/developers. The Senate Agriculture Committee's hearing was rescheduled to January 27. CleanSpark operates ~50 EH/s of U.S. bitcoin mining capacity.
Bitcoin's price surged on Wednesday, trading at $96,867—its highest since November 14—up nearly 5% in the last 24 hours and over 5% weekly, though still down 23% from its all-time high above $126,000 set in early October. This rally triggered nearly $700 million in short position liquidations over the past day, per CoinGlass, from a total of $789 million. Bitcoin led with $382 million liquidated, followed by Ethereum at $231 million and Solana at $33 million.
Other major cryptocurrencies also rose: Ethereum climbed almost 7% to $3,354, XRP gained nearly 5% to $2.17, and Solana increased about 4% to $147. The uptick follows Tuesday's CPI report showing steadying U.S. inflation and builds momentum around the Clarity Act, a U.S. crypto market structure bill under revision for Senate Banking Committee markup on Thursday. U.S. Bitcoin ETFs saw their best inflows since October on Tuesday, with $754 million entering the products. Gold and silver hit new highs this week.
On Myriad—a prediction market by Dastan, parent of Decrypt—users now give Bitcoin an 89% chance of reaching $100,000 before falling to $69,000, up 13% in 24 hours.
Binance's dominance in global crypto trading is declining as competitors gain market share and traders adopt innovative buying and selling methods for digital assets. The world's largest digital asset exchange saw its spot trading volume drop to 25% of the overall market in December, marking the lowest level since January 2021, according to CoinDesk Data. This represents a decrease from 28.5% in November.
At its 2023 peak, Binance controlled nearly 60% of all spot crypto trades, where actual ownership of assets transfers quickly. The shift highlights evolving dynamics in the crypto market, with rivals like other exchanges challenging Binance's position.
Bitcoin at $97K Bucks Producer Cost Surge, Tariffs Off Table

Bitcoin Meteo
Bitcoin (BTCUSD) spiked to $97,000 at Wednesday’s Wall Street open, reaching fresh eight-week and two-month highs while shrugging off resurgent US inflation. Crypto markets ignored high Producer Price Index (PPI) data for November 2025, as confirmed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), which showed PPI and core PPI at 3%—above the anticipated 2.7%. The November increase stemmed from a 0.9% advance in final demand goods prices, with services unchanged. Higher inflation signals stricter Federal Reserve policies and reduced liquidity for risk assets like crypto, yet Bitcoin bulls persisted in the rebound, having priced in a pause on interest-rate cuts at the Fed’s January meeting. Trading resource The Kobeissi Letter noted PPI at its highest since July 2025, predicting a Fed pause on rate cuts in two weeks.
The Supreme Court did not issue a ruling on international trade tariffs, despite expectations; Cointelegraph highlighted broad market acceptance of such macro risks.
Analyst Rekt Capital emphasized that BTC must close the week above $93,500—the 2025 yearly open—to flip it as support, mirroring rebounds in November 2024 and April 2025. Last April, BTC dipped below $75,000 on tariff news before a 50% bull run.
Bitcoin has surged above $95,000, breaking long-standing resistance at $91,000-$92,000, signaling a bull market resurgence. Altcoins are recovering, with ETH at $3,300, SOL at $145-$146, and Clash at a $40 million market cap. The US market opened slightly red, but Coinbase and MicroStrategy are up, while commodities like silver ($91, nearing $100) and gold ($4,600) continue skyrocketing. Inflows reached $753 million for Bitcoin, $130 million for ETH, $13 million for XRP, and $6 million for SOL, with $57 billion in Bitcoin ETFs locking up supply.
Geopolitical tensions, including Trump's demands for US control of Greenland (rich in rare earth minerals), Rubio's potential blank-check offer to Denmark, Russian/Chinese naval presence, and Iran protests, fuel global uncertainty. Fiat collapses in nations like Venezuela and Iran may drive Bitcoin buys as a hedge, alongside Wall Street's reactive inflows.
Fundamentals are strong: banks worldwide adopting Bitcoin, Bitwise meeting a central bank on purchases. Spot buying surges, leverage exits reduce volatility, and OG whales have stopped selling. A short squeeze at $97,100 could liquidate $1 billion in shorts. Charts show bullish MACD flips, RSI, and stochastic signals, targeting $100,000+ and possibly $140,000-$150,000. The cycle appears elongated into 2026, avoiding deep winters.
Prediction markets hit records, with Colshi claiming 66.4% of $700 million volume; Clash Pickics beta testing for launch soon.
The three-part event series "Digitales Geld" provides a controversial, expert forum on digital currencies, focusing on Bitcoin's polarizing role. Originally created in response to the financial crisis, Bitcoin aimed to revolutionize finance through decentralized, cryptographically secured transactions free from banks and state control, promising financial self-determination for all. Today, it has integrated into the existing system, creating a new financial market segment.
Ambivalent Realities and Implications
In reality, Bitcoin has made a few extremely wealthy while many lost fortunes without safety nets. The promise of greater self-determination and decentralization is questioned: diminishing state sovereignty over money could impact democracy and the common good. The series also explores the financial system's need for reform.

Bitcoin Climbs to $97K Facing Cost Pressures, Trade Delay

Bitcoin Meteo
Bitcoin (BTCUSD) spiked to $97,000 at Wednesday’s Wall Street open, reaching fresh eight-week and two-month highs while shrugging off resurgent US inflation. TradingView data showed BTC rebounding after prior consolidation, diverging from stocks despite Producer Price Index (PPI) data exceeding expectations. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported November 2025 PPI and core PPI at 3%, against a forecasted 2.7%, driven by a 0.9% rise in final demand goods prices, with services unchanged.
Higher inflation signals stricter Federal Reserve policies and reduced liquidity for crypto and risk assets, with markets already pricing in a pause on interest-rate cuts at the Fed’s January meeting. The Kobeissi Letter noted PPI at its highest since July 2025, predicting a Fed pause in two weeks. Despite this, Bitcoin bulls sustained the rebound.
The Supreme Court issued no ruling on international trade tariffs, as anticipated by Cointelegraph amid broader macro risk acceptance. Analyst Rekt Capital emphasized that a weekly close above $93,500—the 2025 yearly open—could mirror rebounds in November 2024 and April 2025. In April 2025, BTC dipped below $75,000 on tariff news before a 50% bull run.
Global cryptocurrency markets, including Bitcoin, faced a sharp contraction with over $104 million in leveraged positions liquidated in a single hour on major derivatives exchanges like Binance, Bybit, and OKX. The 24-hour total reached $768 million, marking significant deleveraging amid high volatility. This event, reported by Sofiya on Bitcoinworld.co.in 9 hours ago, highlights systemic risks in digital asset trading.
Liquidations occur automatically when a trader's margin falls below the maintenance threshold due to adverse price moves, forcing exchanges to close positions. A cascade effect ensued from rapid price drops triggering long position sales, amplified by automated algorithms. Analysts point to potential catalysts like macroeconomic data, regulatory news, large wallet movements, or technical breakdowns below support levels. Historically, such events pale against multi-billion liquidations in May 2021 and November 2022 sell-offs, but the hourly intensity signals high leverage sensitivity.
Impacts include reduced spot market liquidity, heightened volatility, and cautious sentiment suppressing buys. Traders are advised to use lower leverage, set logical stop-losses, maintain excess collateral, diversify, and monitor via tools like Coinglass, Bybt, and CryptoQuant. Exchanges' risk engines and transparency aid stability, though events underscore prudent risk management in crypto futures.
The crypto market experienced a significant breakout, with Bitcoin rising from $92,000 to $95,500, breaking key resistance at $94,000–$95,000—a long-standing support/resistance level. This move re-entered the upward channel established since mid-2022, formed an ascending triangle breakout, and shifted the Fear and Greed Index from fear to neutral, historically signaling runs toward greed.
Technical indicators support bullish momentum: RSI crossed above 45, a bull market threshold (previously dipping below indicated bears in 2021 and post-mid-2022). Hyperliquid tracker via Coin Market Manager shows whales, dolphins, and other cohorts (except Leviathans) positioning bullishly, reflecting real money commitment over sentiment polls.
On-chain data reveals the pump is driven by spot institutional buying, not retail or leverage, with retail absent from the surge. $680 million in shorts were liquidated, but increasing short positions suggest an impending short squeeze potentially pushing Bitcoin toward or over $100,000. Post-deleveraging events align with historical upward moves.
The ETH/BTC chart tests major resistance, a pivotal point for altcoins. Thesis: 70% chance of ongoing bull market following business cycles, dismissing four-year cycle end; October 10th dip was a blip amid expanding traditional markets (SPX, commodities at ATHs). Never bet against the Fed in this commodity super cycle.
Bitcoin paused on Wednesday following Tuesday's rally, which briefly pushed prices above USD 96,000—the highest in several months. Profit-taking drove the day's pullback, though institutional support appears to be returning.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw USD 753 million in inflows on Tuesday, marking the second consecutive day of positive flows and the largest daily inflow since early October. Ethereum ETFs followed suit, attracting USD 130 million.
Monetary policy expectations continue to bolster sentiment, with two additional interest rate cuts anticipated later this year, potentially lifting non-yielding assets like Bitcoin. However, these outlooks may shift based on upcoming data, including today's PPI release and tomorrow's job market reports.
Regulatory progress added to positive vibes: A US Senate draft legislation aims to clarify digital asset rules, defining when tokens qualify as securities or commodities. This could reduce uncertainty and encourage greater institutional involvement over time.
Geopolitical and Economic Context Impacting Markets
Tensions in the Middle East prompted precautionary transfers of some personnel from Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar, the largest U.S. military base in the region, as reported by CNN citing a U.S. official. This follows a June evacuation during the Israel-Iran war, before strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. India advised its citizens to leave Iran. U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated the need to annex Greenland for national security, urging NATO members to support it to make the alliance "formidable." U.S. stock indices fell for a second session: S&P 500 -0.5%, Nasdaq -0.8%, amid escalating geostrategic risks.
U.S. Economic Data and Bond Yields
U.S. retail sales rose 0.6% in November 2025 month-over-month, beating estimates of 0.4%; the average since 1992 is 0.39%, with a record high of 19.30% in May 2020 and low of -14.40% in April 2020. Wholesale inflation ticked up slightly more than expected, but neither data shifted Federal Reserve rate cut expectations. 10-year Treasury yield fell 3 basis points to 4.15%, driven by safe-haven demand and rate cut bets. Italian BTP 10-year at 3.46%, German Bund at 2.83%, French OAT at 3.50%. Euro at 1.1647 against the dollar.
Commodity and Bitcoin Market Highlights
Gold rose 0.5% to a record $4,617.88 per ounce, fueled by geopolitical tensions, Trump's attacks on Federal Reserve independence, and debt concerns; silver topped $90 per ounce for the first time, while tin and copper hit new highs. Oil climbed for the fifth session: Brent above $66 per barrel, West Texas Intermediate up 1.1% to $61.84, tied to Iran instability. Bitcoin gained 0.9% to $94,888, reflecting safe-haven demand in the volatile environment.
Corporate Earnings and Sector Moves
Bank of America fell 3% despite Q4 beats: $0.98 EPS on $28.53 billion revenue vs. expected $0.96 EPS and $27.94 billion. Citigroup dropped 2% after Q4 exceeds: adjusted $1.81 EPS vs. $1.67, $21.0 billion revenue vs. $20.72 billion. Wells Fargo slid 4% on Q4 misses: $21.29 billion revenue vs. $21.65 billion expected, net interest margin $12.3 billion below forecasts. Cybersecurity stocks declined after Reuters reported China ordering firms to stop using U.S./Israel-linked software: Palo Alto Networks and Check Point -3%, Fortinet -4%. Netflix rose nearly 2% on reports of a $72 billion all-cash bid for Warner Bros. Discovery's studios and HBO Max, per Wall Street Journal sources. Tesla dipped 0.4% as it shifts Full Self-Driving to a monthly subscription model.
