Weekly Crypto Recap: January 9, 2026
🔹 Bitcoin (BTC) – Holding above ~$90K after recent consolidation, with price stability standing out despite cautious sentiment. Volatility remains compressed, suggesting a pause rather than a breakdown as spot demand continues to absorb selling pressure.
🔹 Ethereum (ETH) – Trading near ~$3,100 and continuing to lag Bitcoin in relative performance. While short-term momentum remains muted, on-chain activity and staking-related flows point to underlying utility rather than speculative excess.
🔹 Altcoins – Market performance remains selective. Capital continues to rotate away from high-beta, low-liquidity names and toward established, high-utility assets. Enterprise-focused tokens and large-cap networks showed relative resilience.
🔹 Macro – Gold near all-time highs highlights persistent debasement concerns, while traditional equity volatility remains subdued. Crypto markets appear more risk-aware than equities, pricing uncertainty more conservatively as investors wait for clearer liquidity or policy signals.
