📰 Market Overview: Key Bull and Bear Information

🔍 Bull and Bear Sentiment Analysis
Traders and analysts have differing views on the future trend, but cautious sentiment currently dominates:
· Bearish and Cautious Views: The main logic is macro uncertainty combined with technical weakness. Some traders believe that if the price breaks below the key support of $86,300, it could further decline into the low $80,000s in the coming weeks. Therefore, any short-term rebounds this week might be viewed as opportunities to short.
· Bullish Views: Mainly see this correction as a healthy adjustment within a bull market, helping to clear excessive leverage. The key bullish signals are that the price must hold the support around $88,000** and break through the resistance zone of $91,000-$92,000 with increased volume.
🌐 Other Mainstream Coins
The decline is not exclusive to Bitcoin; major altcoins also generally weakened:
· Ethereum (ETH): Fell below $2,900.
· Other Coins: Solana (SOL), Sui (SUI), Arbitrum (ARB), Cardano (ADA), and others all experienced declines exceeding 2% yesterday.
💎 Summary
Yesterday's Bitcoin decline was mainly driven by macro concerns and leverage liquidations in the derivatives market, leading to a broader crypto market correction. Currently, market focus is on:
1. Whether the key support zone of $86,300 - $88,000 can hold.
2. The upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate decision (January 28) and developments in US politics.
3. Whether the capital flow in US spot Bitcoin ETFs can improve. $BTC
