This Tuesday, January 20, 2026, Bitcoin fell 1.3% to trade at 2,558. Ethereum dropped more sharply, losing 3% to reach ,186. The week, which had started on a positive note, saw its gains trimmed to 1.6% for Bitcoin. Traditional markets are also down, with indices like the S&P 500 declining, amplifying the pressure on cryptocurrencies. This drop in Bitcoin below 3,000 is significant. It marks a return to lower levels, erasing some of the previous week’s gains. Ethereum, with a steeper decline, shows increased vulnerability. The macroeconomic backdrop is tense, with concerns over interest rates and inflation. Investors are fleeing risky assets, and cryptocurrencies are no exception. The weekly performance of 1.6% remains positive, but fragile. For observers, this day is a warning. Bitcoin must defend the 2,000 support level to avoid a broader correction. Ethereum, at ,186, is close to its key moving averages. If the bearish trend is confirmed, the coming days could be difficult. However, the fundamentals of the crypto market remain solid, with rising institutional adoption. Investors are hoping for a technical rebound in the next few sessions.
