This Sunday, January 18, 2026, the cryptocurrency market continues its consolidation with slight bearish pressure. Bitcoin (BTC) settles at $95,099.53, down 0.4% on the day, while Ethereum (ETH) holds at $3,306.87, up 0.3%. Over the week, performance remains positive: +5.1% for BTC and +5.0% for ETH.
This Sunday session confirms the trend observed since Friday: moderate profit-taking after a bullish week. BTC is again testing support at $95,000, an important psychological level. ETH, meanwhile, shows relative strength by holding above $3,300.
Technically, BTC is forming a bullish flag on the daily chart, suggesting a possible continuation of the uptrend after this consolidation. Volumes are low, limiting the significance of the decline. ETH, with an RSI at 55, remains in neutral territory, indicating no overheating.
Macroeconomic factors remain favorable, with expectations of interest rate cuts in the US. However, the lack of an immediate catalyst pushes traders toward caution. The outlook for the coming week is one of a bullish resumption if BTC holds the $95,000 support, with a target of $97,000.
