This Monday, January 26, Bitcoin lost ground, trading at $86,548, down 2.9% on the day. Ethereum follows the trend at $2,814. Over a week, the drop reaches 7.7%, a marked decline that worries investors. Trading volumes remain moderate, a sign of widespread caution.
This bearish move occurs in a tense macroeconomic context. Traditional markets, particularly US stock indices, have also weakened in recent days, penalized by persistent fears over inflation and interest rates. Cryptocurrencies, often correlated with risk assets, face the same pressure. No specific catalyst explains this decline, but the overall sentiment is risk aversion. Investors are digesting geopolitical uncertainties and mixed economic signals.
For Bitcoin holders, this day confirms a bearish trend that began the previous week. The psychological $85,000 threshold could be tested if selling pressure persists. Ethereum, below $3,000, shows similar weakness. In the short term, attention is on upcoming economic releases, particularly US employment data, which could influence the market direction. In the absence of positive news, caution remains warranted.
