#Gate广场创作者新春激励 The current core contradiction in the market is between the “upward trend of ETH” and the “sideways stalemate of BTC.” The key driver behind this contradiction is the reallocation of institutional funds—after all, in the crypto market, institutional funds are the true “price setters.”
Four core logical reasons behind the market trend:
Why do institutions favor ETH? This divergence is no coincidence; the four core reasons have long been laid out. Those who understand are already starting to position themselves:
1. Institutional capital rotation: The “value gap” from BTC to ETH. According to recent market data, Bitcoin spot ETFs still show net inflows, but the inflow scale has significantly decreased compared to earlier; in contrast, Ethereum spot ETFs have maintained steady net inflows for several days, indicating an increasing rotation of institutional funds from BTC to ETH. Why are institutions “switching their affection”? The core reason is “valuation and cost-effectiveness”: after a prior surge, BTC’s valuation is relatively high, and the psychological pressure of the 100,000 level makes institutions hesitant to increase their positions recklessly; meanwhile, ETH’s gains lagged behind BTC’s earlier, and it remains in a “value gap,” with ongoing improvements in its ecosystem boosting long-term institutional recognition of its value. A crypto fund manager publicly stated: “Currently, ETH/BTC valuation is at a historic low, and allocating to ETH is akin to bottom-fishing for institutions’ ‘backup positions’.”
2. Technical divergence: ETH’s breakout momentum versus BTC’s consolidation. The technical differences further reinforce the trend divergence: ETH successfully broke through the key $3,300 level, with a continuation of the daily ascending flag pattern, and the Bollinger Bands on the hourly chart opening upward with a bullish alignment of moving averages, indicating a clear short-term upward trend; BTC, on the other hand, is stuck in a “consolidation stalemate,” with the daily Bollinger Bands narrowing continuously, and the hourly moving averages entangled, EMA7 converging with EMA30. Under such a pattern, markets often experience rapid breakouts—either breaking the sideways range to start a new trend or triggering a phase correction.
3. Market linkage effect: ETH breaking free from BTC’s influence and moving independently. Historically, the crypto market often follows “BTC rises, all coins rise; BTC falls, all coins fall,” but this pattern has recently been broken. Currently, the total crypto market cap remains between $3.2 trillion and $3.3 trillion, with BTC consolidating in the $94,000-$96,000 range, yet ETH has not been dragged down—this indicates ETH is breaking free from BTC’s influence and moving independently. The emergence of this independent trend is partly due to ETH’s own strong capital absorption capacity, and partly reflects the market’s diversified capital allocation needs: institutions are no longer solely focused on BTC but are exploring investment opportunities in other mainstream coins.
4. On-chain data evidence: Light ETH selling pressure and stable BTC holdings. On-chain data further validates the trend logic: large transfers on the ETH chain are active, whale addresses’ holdings are stable, and selling pressure is relatively limited, providing solid long-term support; for BTC, mining hash power remains high, whale holdings are also stable, and selling pressure is not significant, but the lack of incremental capital inflow has caused prices to stagnate.
Technical deep-dive: Key levels determine life or death, operational windows are clear. For ordinary investors, there’s no need to worry about long-term trends; focusing on key levels can help avoid most risks. We analyze ETH and BTC’s technicals separately, clarifying different cycle operation windows:

【Ethereum (ETH): Breakout momentum, 3280 is the vital line】
Daily chart: EMA30 support at $3,250, Bollinger Bands mid-line at $3,135, upper band at $3,390, MACD continues to expand, upward trend remains intact; breaking through the $3,310-$3,390 range could open new upside space, targeting $3,400.
Four-hour chart: Short-term support at $3,280 (EMA30), lower band at $3,250, upper band at $3,350, MACD golden cross formed, short-term oscillation leaning bullish; if it dips to the $3,250-$3,200 range, it’s an excellent low-entry opportunity.
Hourly chart: Bollinger Bands opening upward, moving averages aligned bullishly, EMA7 crossing above EMA30 to form support, short-term upward trend is clear; caution is needed around the $3,330-$3,350 resistance zone to avoid chasing highs blindly.
【Bitcoin (BTC): Waiting for a breakout, 94200 is the critical line】
Daily chart: EMA30 support at $94,200, Bollinger Bands mid-line at $91,500, upper band at $97,000, MACD continues to expand, upward trend not broken but entering a contraction phase; a breakout above $96,000-$97,000 is needed to open new space, otherwise, it may continue sideways.
Four-hour chart: Short-term support at $94,500 (EMA30), lower band at $93,700, upper band at $97,500, MACD death cross expanding, short-term oscillation leaning bearish; focus on defending the neckline at $94,200—if broken, it could drop directly to $93,000-$92,000.
Hourly chart: Bollinger Bands are extremely contracted, moving averages tangled, increasing the risk of a trend reversal; prioritize watching for a breakout in the $94,000-$96,000 range, and avoid frequent trading before a clear breakout.
Practical operation strategy guide: Light positions are key. These two ranges are the core operation windows. Currently, market sentiment is neutral, with 24-hour liquidation mainly in long positions, so risk should not be underestimated. The core principle is “light positions + strict stop-loss,” with specific strategies as follows:
1. ETH trading strategy
Bullish: After stabilizing in the $3,280-$3,250 range, add light long positions, with stop-loss below $3,250 (around 40 points), targeting $3,330-$3,350; if broken, aim for $3,390.
Bearish: After encountering resistance in the $3,350-$3,400 range, add light short positions, with stop-loss above $3,400 (around 40 points), targeting $3,300-$3,280; if broken, look at $3,250.
2. BTC trading strategy
Bullish: After stabilizing in the $94,200-$93,700 range, add light long positions, with stop-loss below $93,500 (around 500 points), targeting $95,500-$96,000; if broken, aim for $97,000.
Bearish: After encountering resistance in the $96,000-$97,000 range, add light short positions, with stop-loss above $97,500 (around 500 points), targeting $95,000-$94,200; if broken, look at $93,000.
3. Universal risk control rules
① Keep positions within 30%, regardless of long or short; do not operate with full positions.
② Strictly set stop-loss orders—avoid any luck-based thinking to prevent being wiped out by sudden volatility.
③ During market reversal periods, avoid chasing highs or selling lows; patiently wait for clear breakout signals.
④ Closely monitor the linkage effect between the two main coins; if one breaks a key level, promptly adjust the other’s operation strategy.
Follow-up focus: These 3 things will determine the next market trend:
1. ETH spot ETF fund flow: This is the core logic supporting ETH’s strength. If funds continue to flow in net, ETH’s upward trend will persist; if funds flow out, watch out for a correction.
2. BTC key level breakthroughs: Breaking above $96,000-$97,000 will determine whether BTC attempts to reach the $100,000 mark; a break below the neckline at $94,200 could trigger a deep correction, potentially dragging down the entire crypto market.
3. ETH and BTC linkage effect: If ETH falls below the strong support at $3,250, it could drag BTC down; if ETH breaks through $3,390 and opens space, it may also drive BTC out of sideways consolidation.

#Gate广场创作者新春激励 Regulatory clouds loom overhead, key market support levels face testing
During the Asian trading session this morning, Bitcoin's price retreated from a high of $97,900 to around $95,391, a daily decline of 0.64%. Market caution is not limited to Bitcoin; Ethereum (ETH) also struggles near $3,300, with only a 0.05% increase over the past 24 hours. The total cryptocurrency market cap remains stable at approximately $3.23 trillion.
Market Overview Today
On January 16, 2026, the overall virtual currency market shows a cautious and slightly weak trend. After failing to push above $97,900 yesterday, Bitcoin further retreated today to the critical support zone around $95,500. Although Ethereum remains above $3,300, its 24-hour gain is only 0.11%, showing similar fatigue as Bitcoin. Other major cryptocurrencies display clear divergence: Cardano (ADA) down 2.50%, XRP down 0.98%, Solana (SOL) down 1.18%, while Tether (USDT) remains stable.
In terms of capital flow, the market overall shows net outflows, but Bitcoin ETFs still demonstrate resilience. Over the past three trading days, Bitcoin ETFs attracted more than $1.7 billion in net inflows. This indicates that institutional investors are still accumulating on dips, but retail participation is noticeably lacking. The perpetual contract funding rate is currently only 4%, well below the healthy bull market level of 8%-12%, highlighting strong retail caution.
Core Cryptocurrency Trends Analysis
Bitcoin is currently battling around the $95,500 key support level. Technical analysts point out that the $95,200 to $95,500 range is a focal point for bulls and bears. “If Bitcoin can hold this zone, it may trigger a rebound toward $96,200 to $96,600; otherwise, a breakdown could lead to deeper corrections,” said CoinSwitch market analyst.
Regarding Ethereum, despite limited price volatility, positive signals appear on technical charts. Merlijn The Trader’s analysis shows ETH forming a bullish flag pattern. If ETH can break through the $3,300 resistance, the next target could be around $3,600, with long-term technical patterns even pointing toward a high of $5,000. Meanwhile, other major coins show mixed performance.
In-Depth Analysis of Market Influencing Factors
Today's market correction is mainly driven by three factors: regulatory uncertainty, macro policy changes, and internal market structure issues.
On the regulatory front, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee has postponed the review of the “Digital Asset Market Clarity Act” (CLARITY Act), which is a direct short-term pressure on the market. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong publicly withdrew support for the draft bill, citing “too many issues,” including government demands for DeFi user financial records and controversial clauses banning tokenized stocks. On the macro side, the Federal Reserve’s policy direction remains a key focus. December’s US CPI rose 2.7% year-over-year, with core CPI at 2.6%, still above the Fed’s 2% target. This data complicates expectations for rate cuts in 2026.
From a market structure perspective, retail participation remains low. Google Trends data shows global search interest in “cryptocurrency” at only 27 (out of 100), near a 12-month low of 22. This lack of retail interest results in market volatility mainly driven by institutional funds, lacking broad retail support.
Key Technical and Capital Indicators
On-chain data reveal structural features of the current market. Bitcoin “whales” have increased their holdings by approximately 46,000 BTC over the past year, while retail investors generally take profits. Listed companies continue to increase their Bitcoin holdings; this “corporate treasury allocation” strategy has accumulated over $105 billion worth of Bitcoin, representing a significant portion of circulating supply.
In the derivatives market, the Bitcoin perpetual contract funding rate is only 4%, far below levels seen in previous bull markets. This signals market caution and also indicates relatively controlled leverage risk—low funding rates reduce the likelihood of large-scale liquidations and chain reactions.
Ethereum on-chain activity hits new all-time highs, indicating ongoing growth in network usage. This fundamental and technical divergence may lay the groundwork for future price rebounds.
Fear and Greed Index
Currently at 54, in the “neutral” zone, a significant improvement from the “extreme fear” level in the twenties in mid-December 2025.
Future Outlook
In the short term, market focus will be on two key events: further deliberation of the U.S. Senate on cryptocurrency legislation and subsequent Federal Reserve policy signals.
WazirX founder Nischal Shetty notes that for developers, market consolidation periods are often the “best building cycles.” Infrastructure continues to mature, blockchain adoption increases, and practical applications such as payments, tokenization, and DeFi channels are steadily advancing.
Long-term, sustained institutional inflows could provide structural support. The Bitcoin ETF industry’s assets under management have exceeded $120 billion, becoming a major demand driver.
Analysts generally believe that if Bitcoin can hold the $95,000 support zone, the market may consolidate for a while before retesting $97,000 or even challenging the $100,000 mark.
If Ethereum can break through the $3,300-$3,330 resistance zone, it could open up room for a move toward $3,600 or higher.
On the other side of the trading screen, a large transfer of $90 million worth of Ethereum is taking place, with market maker Wintermute receiving the funds from an anonymous address. Smart money is quietly adjusting positions, and institutional Bitcoin ETF holdings have quietly surpassed $120 billion.
The market moves cautiously amid regulatory fog, with trading volume shrinking to $126.69 billion, and the Fear and Greed Index fluctuating at a neutral 54.
The heartbeat of the crypto world still beats, just with a more cautious and restrained rhythm.

#Gate广场创作者新春激励 Bitcoin Market Trend Deep Analysis
(1) Short-term Trend (1 day - 1 week): Breakout followed by consolidation and buildup - On January 14, a strong breakout occurred, with a single-day increase of 5.18%, soaring from the $91,000 range to the $96,000 threshold, hitting a nearly two-month high, then pulling back to stabilize around $95,000.
- Technical (1-hour K-line): Represents a “healthy correction after strong upward attack,” with trading volume peaking over $360 million during the surge, and significantly decreasing during the pullback, indicating that the bearish selling pressure has not been fully released; short-term support is at $94,800 (former resistance turned support), and resistance above is at $96,300 (intraday high).
- Performance in the past 7 days: Up 3.40% in total, showing a “consolidating upward trend,” with prices gradually rising from $89,700, and increased market participation, but not yet breaking through the upper boundary of the previous consolidation range.
(2) Mid-term Trend (1 month): Macro + Regulatory Double-Driven Rebound
- Starting from around $87,000 in early January, the rebound experienced a “surge - correction - re-breakthrough” trajectory, reaching $94,700 on January 5 before pulling back to $89,300 (50-day moving average support), then rebounding with positive news.
- Technical (daily chart): Price has stabilized above the 200-day moving average (long-term support), but remains below the 100-day and 50-day moving averages, forming a “long-term strong, medium-term oscillation” pattern; the $92,000-$94,000 range is a key support zone that was previously a resistance.
- On-chain signals: Long-term holders’ profit-taking behavior has significantly decreased, with daily realized profits dropping from a Q4 peak of $1 billion to $184 million, reducing selling pressure; derivatives market has completed a 45% reset of open interest, alleviating the “structural price peg” effect.
(3) Long-term Trend (1 year): Structural Rebuilding after High-level Correction
After reaching a historical peak of $126,210 in October 2025, a deep correction began, with a maximum decline of 30%, and gradually stabilized and rebounded in early 2026, with a total decline of 5.54% over the year.
- Core features: Market structure has undergone profound changes, with institutional funds flowing back; after the end-of-year outflows of US spot Bitcoin ETFs, a net inflow of $117 million was recorded, with institutions shifting from cautious observation to marginal buyers.
- Long-term support: $80,600 (weekly main trend line + psychological threshold), and $89,200 (key support at 50-day moving average), both of which have shown strong buying power in historical trends.
Core Driving Factors Analysis
(1) Macroeconomics: Easing expectations boost risk assets
In December, the US core CPI YoY was 2.6%, below the market expectation of 2.7%, reinforcing the consensus that interest rate cuts will begin around mid-2026. As a highly elastic risk asset, Bitcoin has been among the first to benefit from liquidity easing.
- Geopolitical risk support: Escalation of tensions in Iran has increased safe-haven demand, coupled with Venezuela settling 80% of oil exports in USDT, highlighting Bitcoin’s “non-sovereign asset” attribute.
(2) Regulatory Dynamics: Certainty expectations boost market confidence
- The US “CLARITY Act” will undergo key review on January 15, clarifying token classification (non-securities/commodities), SEC and CFTC responsibilities, with DeFi exemptions and friendly stablecoin rules. If passed, it will significantly reduce industry uncertainty in the long term.
- Global regulatory landscape: Under the EU MiCA framework, tax transparency legislation took effect on January 1; China continues to strengthen virtual currency regulation, creating a divergence pattern of “compliance in Europe and America, cautiousness in emerging markets.”

#Gate广场创作者新春激励 The cryptocurrency market on January 12, 2026, shows a cautious and optimistic trend. According to the latest data, the total global cryptocurrency market capitalization has reached $3.185 trillion, a slight increase of 0.4% over 24 hours.
From a market structure perspective, mainstream coins such as Bitcoin and Ethereum perform relatively stably, while some altcoins and Meme coins show divergence. The market sentiment indicator—the Fear and Greed Index—rises to 29, still in the "fear" zone, indicating that investors are generally cautious.
Looking at different sectors, DeFi tokens have experienced a correction influenced by overall market adjustments, and AI concept tokens have cooled down in popularity. Notably, Chinese Meme coins have stabilized after a market cap correction, with some tokens even rising against the trend.
Mainstream cryptocurrencies showed a divided trend on January 12. Bitcoin broke through the $92,000 mark, with the current price around $92,224, up 1.45% over 24 hours.
Ethereum performed even stronger, trading at approximately $3,144, up 1.80% in 24 hours.
Bitcoin is currently testing the critical resistance level of $92,000. Analysts point out that if the daily closing price can stably break through this level, it will strengthen bullish expectations.
Ethereum shows signs of technical pressure accumulation, with the price squeezed between the upward trendline and the downward channel formed by the 50-day and 100-day exponential moving averages.
The performance of the cryptocurrency market today is influenced by multiple factors.
Uncertainty in the macro environment is a primary pressure source. U.S. policy uncertainties persist, with the probability of Trump being impeached again during his term rising to 57%.
Federal Reserve Chairman Powell confirmed receipt of a grand jury subpoena from the U.S. Department of Justice, further increasing uncertainty about monetary policy direction.
The market is also approaching large-scale token unlocks, with tokens like ONDO, TRUMP, and CONX potentially increasing selling pressure.
Particularly, the TRUMP token will unlock tokens worth up to $271 million this week, which could significantly impact related sectors.
Regulatory environment is also changing, with increased oversight by the FBI and related agencies. Crypto ATM scam losses have reached $240 million, raising expectations of stricter regulatory attitudes.
These factors collectively cause investors to remain cautious.
From a technical analysis perspective, Bitcoin continues to trade within the $89,200 to $92,000 range, similar to the consolidation phase from March to May 2025, which eventually ended with a strong breakout.
Ethereum’s technical pattern shows signs of a "rolling upward" or forming a suppression pattern. The price is squeezed between the upward trendline and the downward channel formed by the 50-day and 100-day EMAs, both of which are near $3,110 and flat.
On-chain data provides important insights: staking queues on Ethereum 2.0 have surged to 1.759 million ETH (about $55 billion), the highest level since August 2023. New validators need to wait over 30 days to activate, while exit queues have dropped to zero.
Regarding future trends, analysts generally believe that Bitcoin needs to clearly break through the $92,000 resistance to open a new upward space.
For Ethereum, if it can stabilize above $3,180, it may open up to $3,250, then retest the $3,300 region.
Investors should pay attention to upcoming key economic data, including the Consumer Price Index and Producer Price Index, as these data could change market expectations for the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy.

#我的2026第一条帖 Crypto Daily(01.11): Bitcoin Whales Concentrate on Reducing Holdings and ETF Continues to Experience Net Outflows, Raising Market Alerts
1. Market Dynamics and Capital Flows (Including Liquidations and ETF Fund Movements)
1. The Bitcoin market experienced a single-day liquidation amounting to $124 million, with over 70% of liquidations from long positions. Liquidations for BTC and ETH were $25.19 million and $17.09 million respectively.
2. US spot Bitcoin ETF funds showed significant fluctuations, with a total net outflow of $681.01 million last week. On January 7th, there was a weekly inflow of $69.725 million, but the week was mainly characterized by outflows. In December, net outflows exceeded $1 billion, and since the beginning of the year, net outflows have reached $209.87 million.
2. Bitcoin Whales/Large Holders' Behavior
1. The Bitcoin whale from 2010, after a year of dormancy, has awakened, transferring 2,000 BTC worth $181 million to Coinbase, employing a systematic long-term unwind strategy.
2. Large holders with 1,000 to 10,000 BTC have reduced their holdings by 220,000 BTC, marking the fastest reduction rate since 2023, possibly indicating market correction expectations.
3. A whale address opened a $36.27 million BTC long position on Hyperliquid, while simultaneously shorting ETH, SOL, and AVAX worth similar amounts, constructing a cross-asset hedge strategy.
3. Institutional and Bank Movements
CZ pointed out that US banks have continued to increase their Bitcoin holdings during market downturns, reflecting institutional confidence in BTC for the long term.
4. Market Technical Analysis and Trend Forecasts
1. Technical analysis suggests that in the short term, ETH breaking above $5,000 may be easier than BTC reaching new highs, as ETH has experienced a smaller rally from its bear market lows. The MACD indicator shows increasing bullish momentum, while BTC's bullish advantage is diminishing.
2. Brazilian exchange Mer Bitcoin predicts six major trends by 2026, including Bitcoin reaching 14% of gold market value, stablecoin market cap reaching $500 billion, alternative coin ETFs growing to $10 billion, and tokenized assets market expanding to $54 billion.
5. Industry Risks and Technological Developments
# The development of quantum computing may potentially break current encryption standards, threatening the security of Bitcoin and other digital assets. The industry needs to accelerate the adoption of post-quantum cryptography to address this challenge.

#Gate广场创作者新春激励 When exchanges get involved directly, the ceiling for Meme coins is completely lifted!
The BN Foundation has directly stepped in to buy in. "BN Life" and "I'm Coming".
This is not just simple investment; it’s more like a clear endorsement.
In the crypto world, once projects of this caliber are supported and purchased by top-tier exchanges, their status changes entirely.
The traffic support from leading exchanges is like giving both exposure and funding. For small projects, it’s equivalent to riding a rocket🚀
Once they grow and expand, the wealth effect can kick in. Many investors ask, how much are they valued at?
We can make a simple prediction—use a calculator to estimate what PEPE’s peak market cap might be.
If it doesn’t even reach this height, then it’s just not right! The current market situation is clear to everyone.
VC (Venture Capital) projects currently have a pretty average reputation, with various unlocking mechanisms treating retail investors like ATMs.
This kind of harvesting approach will only narrow the road further.
In contrast, the Meme track, although volatile and prone to zeroing out, benefits from the support of top-tier exchange IPs, which come with built-in traffic and are relatively fair.
BN’s move is actually aligning with market sentiment.
Rather than letting the market hype wildly, it’s better to take the lead and channel the wealth effect to the top.
Essentially, it’s using the vitality of Meme to feed back into the entire platform ecosystem.
For ordinary players, this is actually a signal.
If even industry giants are betting on Meme, the potential for this track might be much bigger than we think.
Of course, risks are also present—high returns inevitably come with high volatility.
But at least, this shows us a new possibility—a more transparent and engaging new game.
Friendly reminder: Meme investments carry huge risks and can zero out at any time. This article does not recommend any projects. It only analyzes the underlying logic behind the events.
Share your thoughts in the comments—are you optimistic about these two projects?

#Gate广场创作者新春激励 “I’m coming, damn it” causes chaos—who’s next to die?
On January 8, 2026, Chinese retail investors were once again collectively harvested—just yesterday, bn launched its first Chinese meme coin—“bn Life.” It peaked immediately upon launch, then plummeted 80%, with tens of thousands of accounts wiped out overnight.
And today, even more surreal things happened: bn launched another Chinese token—“I’m Coming, Damn It.” Yes, you read that right. “I’m Coming, Damn It”—these five words are now a cryptocurrency worth millions of dollars in market cap.---
⚡️ Hellish level of mockery: This is the current state of the crypto world
1. “bn Life”: from $0.4 crashing to $0.08, a drop of over 80%, perfectly illustrating “launching at the peak, dead by the next day”
2. “I’m Coming, Damn It”: the name is all about traffic, consensus is a joke—the crypto world has become so crazy that “as long as you dare to name it, you dare to issue it.” This is not investment; it’s performance art.---
🔥 Who’s laughing? Who’s crying?
· Exchanges: collecting fees until they’re numb, launching = printing money
· Project teams: issuing tokens at zero cost, cashing out and leaving
· Big investors: pre-positioned, fleeing before the crash
· Retail investors: rushing in thinking they can get rich, only to wake up and find they’re just fuel
Harsh truth: what you bought isn’t a coin, it’s a “harvesting license.”
-The ultimate truth about MEME coins
When the market lacks real value, meme coins become a form of legal gambling.
The rules are simple:
· Early insiders: profit
· Latecomers: die
· Exchanges: always win, and you’re probably not among the early ones.
---⚠️ If you see this article: · “I’m Coming, Damn It” has already surged— that’s a trap
· “I’m Coming, Damn It” is crashing— that’s a harvest
· You want to “buy the dip”— that’s a death wish
Remember: when a meme coin becomes so popular that you’re aware of it, its only purpose is to take your money.---📈
Market truth: Don’t be blinded by memes; the overall market is still volatile, but the altcoin season is brewing. The real opportunities are never in these attention-grabbing memes. Stick to value coins and stay away from gambling tokens—this is the only rule to survive in 2026.
