On January 9, analyst BitBull outlined on X a bullish Bitcoin outlook, arguing that a weekly Relative Strength Index breakout could lift BTC toward $103,000–$105,000 over the next three to four weeks. The projection implies around a 15% advance from the current price area near $90,600, where Bitcoin has mostly traded around $90,000 with brief moves above $91,000. The analyst's view references a similar RSI breakout in April 2025, which occurred before Bitcoin climbed to its all-time high of $126,080.

On January 10, 2026, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao urged resilience, saying U.S. banks were buying Bitcoin as some investors sold. The asset hovered around $90,000 and was trading at $90,540 at press time, while his post refocused attention on institutional participation.

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs are nearing a third straight month of net outflows, with $210 million withdrawn in the first 10 days of January 2026, according to SoSoValue. Redemptions totaled $4.7 billion across November–December 2025 and early January, while segment AUM is about $116 billion after peaking above $166 billion before Oct. 10.

Bitcoin pulled back to the $90,000 psychological support after meeting resistance near $94,000. According to a QuickTake on CryptoQuant by The Enigma Trader, exchange netflows shifted from –11,500 BTC to +1,100 BTC since December, implying reduced accumulation. As of this writing, the price is around $90,463, per CoinMarketCap.

Bitcoin is consolidating around $90k while resistance near $95k caps the rebound from the $80k low. The 100-day and 200-day moving averages sit near $99k and $106k. On the 4-hour chart, price is in a rising wedge with $90k support and $95k resistance, and the SOPR 30-day EMA hovers just below 1.0.

On 10 January 2026, VanEck outlined a capital markets framework modeling Bitcoin’s evolution through 2050. The paper frames Bitcoin as a structural monetary asset, with a base case of roughly 15% annual compounding and expected volatility of 40%–70%, while small 1%–3% allocations are shown to improve portfolio efficiency.

A new technical analysis suggests that Bitcoin's price has once again touched a key "Crash Line," a level that has repeatedly served as a reload zone during the current bull phase. The analyst behind the study argues this is a deliberate market move, noting previous visits to this trendline have coincided with declines of about 33% followed by strong rallies. Another market watcher outlines two paths for BTC, with a break and hold above 92,000 dollars seen as bullish, while failure to reclaim that level could send price toward a Chicago Mercantile Exchange gap around 88,000 dollars.

In early January 2026, Bitfinex margin whales began trimming long Bitcoin positions while U.S. spot ETF flows showed sharp swings between inflows and outflows. Longs on Bitfinex recently peaked around 72,700 BTC before starting to roll over, as ETF data revealed a +$471 million net inflow on 2 January followed by about -$1.1 billion in outflows from 5 to 7 January. Analysts are weighing whether this combination signals a constructive reset for Bitcoin or the onset of a deeper correction over the next six weeks.
