# The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show - Weekly Update

Hey everyone, Crypto Willy here! What a wild ride we've had this week in the crypto space. Let me break down what's been happening in the markets and why your portfolio might be feeling a little shaky right now.

So here's the situation: Bitcoin started January on fire, nearly hitting $96,000 before things got spicy. According to Brave New Coin, Bitcoin actually peaked at $130,000 earlier this month—talk about a bull run! But things have cooled significantly. We're now testing support around $82,000 to $83,000 after dropping to a 2026 low of $86,000 last week. Amber Data reports that this decline followed a meltdown in Japan's government bond market on January 20th and ongoing Trump tariff threats against the EU, which triggered a broad risk-off rotation away from crypto.

The real story here is what's driving this volatility. According to OANDA's latest crypto market update, Trump administration attacks on the Federal Reserve have actually been pushing crypto prices higher—traders are looking for bullish catalysts to get momentum back on our side.

Now, let's talk about the good stuff happening behind the scenes. David Sacks, the White House crypto czar, is pushing hard to establish the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, which could be the game-changer we've been waiting for. This landmark legislation aims to end years of "regulation by enforcement" and clearly delineate when a token qualifies as a security versus a commodity between the SEC and CFTC. It's the structural shift the entire industry has been demanding.

On the technical front, Ethereum successfully implemented its "BPO" hard fork according to OANDA, and the native token is holding steady just above $3,000. The network continues cementing its role as the foundational layer for institutional-grade decentralized finance.

Here's something that caught my attention: BTQ Technologies launched the "Bitcoin Quantum" testnet on January 12th—a NIST-compliant fork designed to defend against future quantum computing threats. Amber Data highlighted that approximately 6.26 million BTC, worth over $2 trillion, are currently exposed because their public keys are visible on the ledger. This post-quantum cryptography initiative is critical for the long-term security of the network.

On the regulation front, Tether made headlines by freezing $182 million in USDT across five wallets on the Tron blockchain, signaling a shift toward greater accountability within the digital asset space as the US government intensifies efforts to clamp down on illegal funding and illicit transactions.

The technical picture shows Bitcoin testing its 50-day moving average with critical support at $86,000 to $90,000. Ethereum is consolidating within its major pivot zone between $3,000 and $3,200.
