The crypto market showed signs of recovery on January 2, 2026, with Bitcoin (BTC) rising 1.4% to $88,727.67 and Ethereum (ETH) reaching $3,000.42. This modest uptick marks a shift in sentiment after the New Year’s stagnation. Trading volumes are slightly higher, suggesting a gradual return of traders.
From a technical perspective, BTC is testing resistance at $89,000 β a level that could open the path toward $90,000 if broken. ETH, by crossing $3,000, confirms an important psychological support level, with the next target at $3,100. Bollinger Bands are widening, indicating increased volatility, while the MACD shows a bullish crossover on hourly charts.
The macro backdrop remains mixed: fears of a global recession persist, but US employment data expected this week could influence markets. Meanwhile, inflows into crypto investment products, particularly ETFs, remain positive, supporting demand.
Outlook: The bullish momentum could continue if BTC breaks above $89,000 in the coming sessions. However, investors remain cautious about a possible technical correction after this rebound.
