Entering the first week of January, the crypto market has shown a clear warming trend. Bitcoin broke through the 90,000 mark again on the 4th, and the sentiment has shifted from previous panic to cautious optimism.



From a technical perspective, 88,000 is a very critical support zone, and the continued capital inflow into spot ETFs is also helping to boost the market. As of Monday morning, Bitcoin has stabilized above 92,000, with the next key resistance at 95,000. Ethereum and XRP also followed with a small rebound.

On the macro front, inflation data is improving, and the resilience of the US economy is also quite good, which has added points to the market. Speaking of which, although the halving expectations at the end of last year didn't trigger a explosive rally, the market structure has been quietly changing — institutional capital is gaining more influence, and volatility is actually converging.

Looking ahead to 2026, many analysts believe Bitcoin could reach the range of 120,000 to 150,000 USD. The market will likely still experience fluctuations and consolidation in the near term, but the key is whether it can hold the 91,500 level. If it stays steady, there's a real possibility of hitting a new all-time high in the first quarter.
BTC-2.92%
ETH-4.56%
XRP-6.99%

Is the 91,500 level really that critical? It feels like it's always said that way. Institutions are accumulating, retail investors are still guessing. Wait, are the 120,000-150,000 levels real? Feels like it's exaggerated. Is the spot ETF really fueling the market? Or is the market moving on its own? If we can't break through 95,000, do we have to retrace? This rebound feels a bit fake, maybe we should wait for a bottom before acting. Why didn't the halving last year cause a breakout? Why can it reach 150,000 this year? What's the logic? Institutions have more influence now; should retail investors withdraw? If 88,000 can't hold, it's dangerous; can't afford to gamble.

Institutions are accumulating, and we're just waiting to be cut, anyway, the rise and fall are the same.

9.2K has stabilized, which is indeed good, but I'm still watching to see if 9.5K can break... Institutions are really controlling the market, making it increasingly difficult for retail investors to ride the waves. 120,000-150,000? Dreaming, or what? But cautious optimism is the real talk. It's going to be volatile and consolidating again; every time it's like this. Let's wait until 9.15K stabilizes before saying more. ETF inflows are a good sign, but don't get washed out.

We must hold the 91,500 line, or else we'll have to come back and pick up the slack again.

91,200 stands firm, is this really different this time? Institutional entry makes a real difference; the volatility has decreased significantly. 120,000-150,000? Is this number serious? I think it's doubtful. Holding onto 91,500 is the real challenge; don't fake a move again. The ETF inflow this time is indeed fierce, but I'm still hesitant and can't keep up with the pace.
