#我的2026第一条帖 January 8th, the market opened strongly in the new year and then experienced the expected technical correction. Bitcoin and Ethereum moved down in sync, with Bitcoin dipping to a low of $90,635 in the early morning, and as of the time of writing, hovering around $91,300; Ethereum touched around $3,124 before rebounding to approximately $3,170. The US ADP employment data released last night met expectations, which, although did not trigger intense volatility, prompted some profit-taking, causing the price to break below a key psychological level. This correction confirmed that 92,000 (BTC) and 3,180 (ETH) have shifted from support to initial resistance. The market structure has shifted from offensive to defensive, and a healthy rebalancing of positions and clearing of floating positions are underway.
Despite short-term pressure, the core logic supporting the market remains unchanged. Continuous net capital inflows into the US spot Bitcoin ETF at the beginning of the year have provided a solid foundation for the market, and whale addresses did not panic sell during the correction. The current market focus has fully shifted to Thursday’s US CPI inflation data and Friday’s non-farm payrolls, which will provide more critical clues for the Federal Reserve’s policy path.
Strategically, cautious positioning can be considered when prices approach strong support zones and show signs of stabilization, while preparing for potential volatility caused by CPI data. The market’s trend direction will become clearer after macro events are confirmed this week. In the short term, close attention should be paid to support zone battles and non-farm payroll data releases. In the long term, focus can be placed on institutional heavy tracks such as AI + blockchain and asset tokenization. The current oscillation and correction present a key window for selecting high-quality targets and deploying structural opportunities. The continuation of the bullish pattern depends on the strength of support reception and the pace of incremental capital entering the market.
