Since the beginning of this year, a key indicator of the Bitcoin derivatives markets has experienced a sharp decline. The open interest (OI) has dropped by approximately 30% from its October 2025 peak. This decrease is accompanied by a massive reduction in leverage across the derivatives ecosystem. For many analysts, this movement could signal not only the end of an intense speculative phase but also the building of a solid foundation for a possible bullish recovery.

Bitcoin and Ether crossed major technical thresholds on January 14, triggering nearly 700 million dollars in liquidations on short positions.

Despite the frenzy around Bitcoin, some signals cool the optimism of crypto traders. Discover the details in this article.

At the start of 2026, markets show a striking contrast: traditional funds attract record inflows, while Bitcoin ETFs lose momentum. This divergence, far from anecdotal, could signify a strategic shift among institutional investors, between seeking stability and persistent distrust of cryptos. In an uncertain economic context, arbitrages harden, redefining allocation priorities. Bitcoin, long touted as an alternative safe-haven asset, now seems relegated to the background by portfolio managers.

Bitcoin mining loves podiums. One number climbs, another falls, and the ecosystem tells itself a simple story. Except that in this industry, the way you count matters almost as much as the machines.

While the regulatory climate in the United States remains uncertain, bitcoin surprises by surpassing $95,700.

There is talk of a 'treasure' of 600,000 BTC attributed to Venezuela: a figure that sounds like a threat. Washington is considering the idea of a seizure, without openly admitting it. Paul S. Atkins, chairman of the SEC, confirms nothing... but does not close the door. And that is where everything changes: bitcoin is no longer just an asset, it is a geopolitical lever. The essential remains to be decided: evidence, keys, and the power to seize.

Is Ethereum preparing a strong comeback against bitcoin? A well-known technical setup draws analysts' attention to the ETH/BTC pair. This pattern, previously observed before a historic rally, could indicate a major bullish reversal. If the breakout is confirmed, Ether could jump nearly 95% against bitcoin.

Jerome Powell, chairman of the Federal Reserve, is the subject of a criminal investigation. The information, confirmed on Sunday, comes amid strong political tensions in the United States. It raises questions about the central bank's independence from the executive branch. Beyond Wall Street, this case also resonates in the crypto market. In a climate of institutional distrust, bitcoin regains its place at the heart of the debate as a non-sovereign asset.

While all eyes remain fixed on bitcoin in dollars, a discreet indicator could well announce a major shift: the ETH/BTC ratio. According to Michaël van de Poppe, this ratio reached a low in April 2025, in a chart configuration reminiscent of 2019. If history were to repeat itself, Ethereum could begin a strong comeback against bitcoin, without the majority of investors yet realizing this latent change.

Bitcoin faces a decisive zone. As the post-halving euphoria fades, the spotlight turns to a key level: $65,000. Much more than a former peak, this threshold becomes a cycle indicator, at the intersection of technical tensions and long-term projections. Jurrien Timmer, macroeconomic director at Fidelity, revives the debate by highlighting, via the power law model, that a drop below this level could trigger a prolonged compression phase.

The hope for sustainable institutional adoption through spot Bitcoin ETFs meets a harsh return of volatility. Praised in 2024 as vectors of stability, these products have just recorded over 680 million dollars in net outflows in the first week of 2026. This sudden decline, in a climate of monetary uncertainties and geopolitical tensions, calls into question the solidity of their anchorage in traditional finance and raises doubts about the market's ability to absorb shocks in the long term.

Bitcoin is nearing 90,000 dollars, but the main action is happening elsewhere. While ETFs suffer massive outflows, institutional investors are beginning a strategic repositioning. This double movement, discreet but structuring, reveals a market in transition, where capital flows no longer respond solely to price logic. Behind the apparent euphoria, a rigorous selection of assets is taking place, a sign of a new maturity in the crypto ecosystem.

According to a study by VanEck, one of the leading crypto asset managers, the value of bitcoin could reach 2.9 million dollars as it establishes itself as a settlement currency in international trade and as a reserve for central banks.
