    Bitcoin Tests 82K Support as Japan Bond Crisis and Trump Tariffs Shake Crypto Markets

    # 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.

  • Bitcoin Under Pressure: Stablecoin Exodus, Mining Crisis, and Critical Support Levels to Watch This Week

    Bitcoin Under Pressure: Stablecoin Exodus, Mining Crisis, and Critical Support Levels to Watch This Week
    Jan 27 2026
    The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show podcast.

    # Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show - Week of January 27, 2026

    Hey everybody, Crypto Willy here, and man, what a week we've had in the crypto markets. Let me break down exactly what's been going on as we wrap up January.

    So here's the situation – Bitcoin's been getting absolutely hammered by a perfect storm of bearish factors. According to BeInCrypto, we're looking at three major selling catalysts that have pushed prices down hard. First up, there's been a massive $2.24 billion exodus from stablecoins in just ten days, which is basically investors cashing out to fiat instead of holding dry powder for the next dip. That's a red flag, my friends, because stablecoins are the lifeblood of crypto market liquidity.

    On top of that, the Coinbase Premium Index has absolutely plunged into negative territory – we're talking the lowest readings in an entire year. What does that mean? US investors are selling, and they're selling hard. When you see that kind of selling pressure from Coinbase, you know institutional players are taking profits or getting spooked.

    But wait, there's more. A severe ice storm has absolutely devastated Bitcoin mining operations across the United States. According to CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost, we saw hashrate collapse from 1.133 ZH/s down to 690 EH/s in just two days. Marathon Digital Holdings – that's MARA for you traders – saw their hashrate drop four times their monthly average in just three days. The extreme cold knocked out power grids and spiked electricity costs, forcing miners to shut down operations. If this persists, miners might have to sell their holdings just to cover operating costs.

    Now, veteran trader Peter Brandt is calling out some serious technical warning signs. According to BeInCrypto, Brandt flagged that Bitcoin has broken down from a bear channel on the daily chart and would need to recover above $93,000 to negate the bearish outlook. If that doesn't happen, we could see prices decline toward $81,833 or even $66,883.

    But here's the thing – it's not all doom and gloom. Token Metrics reports that Bitcoin is currently consolidating around $95,000 after recovering from recent lows near $87,600. They're pointing to a Bollinger Bands squeeze, which historically precedes major price movements. The MACD has turned positive, and the 20-day and 50-day EMAs have been reclaimed, suggesting some bullish momentum building beneath the surface.

    Looking ahead, immediate resistance sits at $99,500, with the major $100,000-$102,000 zone beyond that. Support levels to watch are $94,000 and the critical $92,000 level. Changelly's technical indicators are actually forecasting upside, predicting Bitcoin could reach $89,271 by January 29th and potentially climb toward $100k+ by mid-February if momentum continues.

    So what's the takeaway? Bitcoin's at a genuine inflection point. The selling pressure is real – the stablecoin exodus, the mining crisis, the US selling pressure – but the technical setup suggests big moves are coming. Whether we bounce or break depends on whether we can hold these critical support levels.

  • Bitcoin Battles 95K as Strategy Doubles Down and BitGo Makes Historic NYSE Debut

    Bitcoin Battles 95K as Strategy Doubles Down and BitGo Makes Historic NYSE Debut
    Jan 24 2026
    The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show podcast.

    Hey folks, Crypto Willy here on The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show, bringing you the hottest updates from the week leading up to January 24, 2026. Bitcoin's been a rollercoaster, trading around that critical $95,000 mark after bouncing back from $87,600 lows, per Token Metrics' latest analysis. But heads up—BeInCrypto warns of charts flashing a possible dip to $77,000 if supports crack, while U.Today notes it's sliding after failing to hold $94,652.

    Strategy's CEO Phong Le lit up Yahoo Finance, doubling down on their $2.1 billion Bitcoin spree despite shares tanking 60%. "2026 is gonna be a big year for Bitcoin," Phong told anchor Julie Hyman, eyeing government clarity via the Market Structure Act and banks ramping up Bitcoin custody, lending, and stablecoins. BitGo's Co-Founder and CEO Mike Belshe chimed in too, hyping their $212 million IPO debut on the New York Stock Exchange—the first digital asset firm public this year.

    Technicals are screaming action: Token Metrics spots a rare Bollinger Bands squeeze, bands tighter than $3,500, signaling low volatility before a boom or bust. Watch $99,500 (100-day EMA resistance), then $100K-$102K; supports at $94K and $92K. MACD's flipping positive, reclaiming 20- and 50-day EMAs—bullish if it holds. Changelly predicts steady climbs from $89,411 today to $92,324 by month-end, maybe hitting $100K+ in February.

    Macro's mixed—FxEmpire says gold's surging while Bitcoin struggles amid tariff risks and uncertainty, per IG's take. But Lowenstein Sandler's Crypto Brief reports the Senate Agriculture Committee dropping a draft Crypto Market Structure Bill, plus CFTC Chairman Selig naming senior staff. Binance Square notes global public companies now hold over 1 million BTC!

    BPInsights rounds it out with January 24 power plays. Volatility's king, buddies—stack sats smart.

  • Bitcoin Surges Past 96K on ETF Inflows Then Dips Toward 90K as Volatility Strikes Mid January 2026

    Bitcoin Surges Past 96K on ETF Inflows Then Dips Toward 90K as Volatility Strikes Mid January 2026
    Jan 20 2026
    The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show podcast.

    Hey folks, Crypto Willy here on The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show, bringing you the hottest updates from the week leading up to January 20, 2026. What a rollercoaster, right? Like chatting crypto over coffee with your best bud.

    Bitcoin kicked off strong, surging past $96,000 mid-week thanks to massive ETF inflows. According to 99Bitcoins, US spot Bitcoin ETFs like BlackRock's IBIT sucked in $1.7 billion over just three days—$843 million on January 15 alone—flipping early-year outflows of $681 million. That fueled a spike over $97,000 from $88,000 lows, with the Crypto Fear and Greed Index hitting 'greed' at 61. MicroStrategy kept stacking sats, tightening supply ahead of the halving.

    By January 14, Binance Square reported Bitcoin and altcoins like Ethereum—holding above $3,300—rallied on cooling US inflation data and momentum for the CLARITY Act, a key crypto market structure bill. Total market cap neared $3.25 trillion, with BTC breaking $95,500 as futures open interest topped $138 billion.

    But hold up—volatility hit hard. IG's analysis shows BTC slipping toward $90,000 under macro pressures like US tariff threats and technical resistance at $94,095-$94,766. CryptoPotato noted the January 20 dip, while investingLive's YouTube tech analysis warned of a harsh reverse from $98,200, eyeing the January 8 low at $89,410.

    Bullish signals persist, though. BeInCrypto highlights January as a consolidation phase: Alphractal says we're nearing a DCA sweet spot below $86,000, Swissblock points to rock-bottom network growth like 2022 pre-rally, and CryptoQuant data shows whale selling to Binance plunging from $8 billion to $2.74 billion monthly. Bitcoin Magazine's outlook has bulls eyeing a $98,000 breakout after holding $90,000, targeting $103,500 if we close above.

    Bitfinex analysts tie it to geopolitics too—US capture of Nicolás Maduro could shake energy markets, boosting oil giants like Chevron and Exxon while rippling to BTC via risk sentiment. MEXC noted solid consolidation at $92,076 on January 13 with $21 billion volume, prepping a 100k test despite Supertrend bear flags. Kalshi markets even bet on BTC topping $100,000 by January 31.

    Techies, stay nimble—supports at $89k-$90k, resistance at $94k-$98k. Consolidation now, rally soon?

    Thanks for tuning in, crew—catch you next week for more! This has been a Quiet Please production. For me, check out Quiet Please Dot A I.

  • Bitcoin Blasts Past 96K as ETF Billions Pour In and Wall Street Giants Join the Crypto Party

    Bitcoin Blasts Past 96K as ETF Billions Pour In and Wall Street Giants Join the Crypto Party
    Jan 17 2026
    The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show podcast.

    Hey folks, Crypto Willy here on The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show, bringing you the hottest updates from the week leading up to January 17, 2026. Bitcoin's been on fire, smashing past $96k and even touching $97k highs, according to 99Bitcoins reports. That surge? Fueled by a massive $1.7 billion influx into US spot Bitcoin ETFs over just three days—$843.6 million on January 15 alone, led by BlackRock's IBIT pulling in $648 million, Fidelity's FBTC at $125 million, and ARK's ARKB not far behind. What a turnaround from the year's shaky start with $681 million outflows!

    Price action's got everyone buzzing. Changelly's forecast sees BTC climbing to $96,211 by January 19, with steady gains projected through the month—hitting $98,524 max and averaging $97,175. U.Today notes it's hovering at $95,513 today, consolidating between $95k-$97k, but a weekly close above $95,938 could rocket it to $100k. FXStreet's Denis Joeli Fatiaki highlights BTC testing upper structures around $94,326, holding strong above $90,966 support since early January.

    Wall Street's all in too—Morgan Stanley just filed for its own spot Bitcoin and Solana ETFs, joining BlackRock and Fidelity in a market now boasting $123.5 billion in assets, per 247WallSt. Bitfinex analysts are optimistic, pointing to supportive macros like S&P 500 highs and easing inflation, plus MicroStrategy's relentless BTC stacking ahead of the halving. They even tied in the wild US capture of Nicolás Maduro, predicting ripples in energy markets that could boost risk appetite for crypto.

    Altcoin vibes? Bitcoin's dominating inflows, but whispers of altseason in March from Chief's bull run pattern on X. MEXC wonders if we'll hit $100k this January, with AMBCrypto eyeing a Q1 record at $130k. FixedFloat marked Bitcoin's 17th birthday amid Zcash dips and Monero pumps.

    Buckle up, friends—this week's showing 2026's got legs for that rally. Thanks for tuning in to The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show—catch you next week for more! This has been a Quiet Please production, and for me, check out QuietPlease.ai. Stay stacked!

  • Bitcoin Blasts Past 92K on CPI Data as Bitmine Bets Big on Ethereum Staking

    Bitcoin Blasts Past 92K on CPI Data as Bitmine Bets Big on Ethereum Staking
    Jan 13 2026
    The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show podcast.

    Hey folks, Crypto Willy here on The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show, bringing you the hottest updates from the past week leading into January 13, 2026. Bitcoin's been on a tear, smashing past $92,500 after the Bureau of Labor Statistics dropped December CPI data showing 2.7% year-over-year inflation—right on economists' noses, with core CPI at 2.6%. Bitcoin Magazine reports this cleared the late-2025 data fog, boosting soft-landing hopes and Fed cut odds, even amid DOJ probes into Fed Chair Jerome Powell fueling that safe-haven vibe. BTC's hovering around $92,300 now, with U.Today noting a breakout above $92,576 resistance on the hourly chart, eyeing $94,000 and potentially $100k if bulls hold strong.

    Over on Ethereum, Bitmine's staking a massive $4 billion—nearly a third of their $13 billion stash—positioning as the world's top staker, per DL News. Chair Tom Lee, backed by Peter Thiel's Founders Fund and Cathie Wood's ARK Invest, projects $374 million annualized revenue and calls the mini crypto winter post-October 2025 over. He's urging shareholders to vote by January 15 on his stock split proposal to juice shares from 500 million to 50 billion. Lee's supercycle bullish, forecasting ETH to $250k, with Standard Chartered's Geoffrey Kendrick dubbing 2026 Ethereum's year, hitting $40k by 2030 on stablecoin and tokenization waves, especially if the Clarity Act passes Q1.

    Price predictions are firing up too—Changelly forecasts BTC climbing to $100,639 by January 15, averaging $97,995 this month with a max near $104,947. Meanwhile, IG sees consolidation below $95k due to macro jitters, but BeInCrypto says shrinking losses could push to $95k soon. KESQ reminds us BTC's at $93k now, up from pennies in 2010, though Warren Buffett still calls it magic without yield.

    US Senators just unveiled draft legislation for crypto market rules, clarifying jurisdiction, says AML Intelligence—huge for regulatory clarity.

    Markets at a glance: BTC up 1.9% to $92,440, ETH +0.8% at $3,139, total crypto cap at $3.1 trillion post-pullback.

  • Bitcoin Consolidates Near 90K as Altcoins Steal the Spotlight and Tom Lee Eyes 200K

    Bitcoin Consolidates Near 90K as Altcoins Steal the Spotlight and Tom Lee Eyes 200K
    Jan 10 2026
    The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show podcast.

    Hey frens, Crypto Willy here, and this week in The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show has been one of those “nothing’s happening… until you zoom out” kind of weeks.

    Bitcoin has been grinding in that tight **$87k–$95k** consolidation zone, with U.Today noting only about a quarter‑percent move in the last 24 hours, classic post‑rally “catch your breath” behavior. AMBCrypto points out that we even saw a liquidity sweep down toward **$90k**, with some traders like Cryp Nuevo eyeing potential wicks into the **low $80ks** if things really flush. Options flow tells the other side of the story though: big money is still paying up for **$98k–$100k calls** into late January and February, basically betting this chop is just the coiling spring before the next leg.

    Macro is quietly helping. CoinShares, via ETFTrends, highlighted that early‑year U.S. job data looks soft, and that weaker labor plus a more dovish Federal Reserve gives **Bitcoin more room to grow** as liquidity slowly tilts back toward risk. That lines up with the narrative that 2025’s brutal Q4 washout reset leverage and now 2026 is about structured, institutional accumulation rather than degen blow‑off tops.

    On the prediction game, the takes are all over the map. 24/7 Wall St reports that **Tom Lee from Fundstrat** went full bull on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” calling for a **new Bitcoin all‑time high above $126k by the end of this month** and reviving his **$200k–$250k** target for year‑end 2026. On the other side, Finbold covered an AI model that’s way more chill, putting **January 31st** around **$92k** and the year closer to **$150k**. Changelly’s technical forecast sits somewhere in between, mapping a gradual push toward **$97k–$100k** over the next couple of weeks rather than a face‑melting spike.

    While Bitcoin catches its breath, the rest of the market is getting spicy. Coinpaper notes that **altcoins now make up about 50% of total crypto trading volume**, overtaking both Bitcoin and Ethereum in share. That means the risk curve is turning back on: capital is rotating out the curve as soon as BTC stops making new highs. In that mix, Finance Magnates points out that **XRP has ripped roughly 25%** recently, actually outpacing both Bitcoin and Ethereum returns over the same period, which is exactly what we see in classic late‑cycle alt seasons — even if we might only be mid‑cycle this time.

    Regulation hasn’t gone quiet either. Law firm Lowenstein Sandler’s January 8 Crypto Brief highlighted **Representative Ritchie Torres** introducing the **Public Integrity in Financial Prediction Markets Act of 2026**, a reminder that while markets are maturing, Congress is still trying to draw lines around what’s “trading” versus “gambling.” That sort of policy noise tends to matter more now that crypto is wired into ETFs, pensions, and Wall Street desks rather than just offshore exchanges and Discord groups.

    So where does that leave us this week? Bitcoin is in a volatility compression zone with options traders and macro tailwinds quietly loading the spring, altcoins are grabbing half the volume and flexing higher beta, and the regulatory machine in Washington, D.C. is still humming in the background. It’s not fireworks‑every‑hour territory, but it’s exactly the environment where patient positioning pays.

    Thanks for tuning in to The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show with me, **Crypto Willy**. Come back next week for more charts, narratives, and on‑chain gossip. This has been a **Quiet Please** production — and if you want more from me, check out **QuietPlease dot A I**.

  • Bitcoin Eyes 100K as Fear Greed Index Signals Hidden Opportunity in Early 2026

    Bitcoin Eyes 100K as Fear Greed Index Signals Hidden Opportunity in Early 2026
    Jan 6 2026
    The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show podcast.

    # Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show - Weekly Update

    Hey everyone, Crypto Willy here, and wow, what a start to 2026 we're having! Let me break down what's been happening in the crypto space this week, and trust me, there's some seriously bullish energy in the air.

    First up, let's talk about Bitcoin. According to CoinDesk, major tokens including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin are all seeing a strong start to 2026. Bitcoin's been hovering right around the $93,000-$94,000 range, and here's where it gets interesting. Changelly's technical analysis is showing some really compelling price action. They're forecasting Bitcoin could hit $97,382.97 by January 8th—that's a potential 4.72% jump in just two days. If that happens, we're looking at some serious upward momentum.

    But here's the thing: the Fear & Greed Index is sitting at 26, signaling fear in the market. This disconnect between technical indicators showing bullish potential and market sentiment showing caution is actually pretty typical during these breakout moments. Over the last 30 days, Bitcoin's had 17 out of 30 green days—that's a 57% win rate—so the short-term momentum is definitely there.

    Now, let me get into the longer-term picture because this is where it gets really exciting. On the daily chart, Bitcoin made what's called a "false breakout" of the resistance at $94,652. If that holds, we could see a test of the $92,000-$93,000 support zone this week. But here's what the bulls are watching: if we can hold that $94,652 level, traders are positioning for a potential blast all the way to $100,000.

    And get this—Tom Lee, the analyst over at Bitmine, is predicting a January breakout to new highs before February even hits. That's some serious conviction right there.

    Looking at monthly forecasts from Changelly, January 2026 shows a minimum price around $92,832, an average of $96,103, and a maximum potential of $99,374. For the full year 2026, experts are looking at an average trading price around $134,174, with potential highs reaching $153,147.

    The broader crypto market, including Ethereum and Solana, is riding this same wave upward. According to the latest analysis, we're seeing sustained buying pressure despite some bearish pullbacks. It's the kind of action that makes hodlers smile and day traders rub their hands together.

    So here's my take: we're at an inflection point. If Bitcoin holds above $94,652 and we get that push to $100,000, we're looking at serious momentum heading into February. The Fear & Greed Index suggests some are still nervous, which historically means there's opportunity for those willing to stick with their conviction.

    Thanks so much for tuning in to the Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show! Make sure you come back next week for more deep dives into what's moving the markets.
