According to BlockBeats, Federal Reserve official Goolsbee stated that the impact of tariffs on the macroeconomy might be limited. The Federal Reserve needs to consider the overall situation throughout the year, with tariff policy being just one of the factors. While short-term inflation expectations have risen, it is crucial that long-term expectations have not increased.

The Great Stagnation: Why Bitcoin’s Recovery Failed to Hold in January 2026
The first month of 2026 was supposed to be the "Great Breakout" for Bitcoin. After a volatile 2025, bulls were eyeing the psychological $100,000 milestone with growing confidence. However, as of January 25, 2026, the market finds itself in a state of "fragile equilibrium." The recovery that briefly teased $98,000 has stalled, leaving Bitcoin trapped in a stubborn range between $85,000 and $94,000.

What exactly went wrong? The answer lies in a combination of structural selling pressure, geopolitical volatility, and a "ghost town" derivatives market.
1. The $98,000 Rejection: A Wall of Institutional Supply
In mid-January, Bitcoin made a spirited run toward $98,000, fueled by massive spot ETF inflows—reaching nearly $760 million in a single day. However, this rally met a dense "supply overhang."

The Breakeven Exit: Investors who accumulated Bitcoin during the 2025 highs (above $100k) used this recovery as an opportunity to exit at breakeven.The Cost-Basis Barrier: Short-term holders (STH) have a current cost basis near $98,400. Every time the price approaches this level, it triggers automatic distribution (selling) from participants prioritized on capital preservation rather than long-term conviction.
2. The "Greenland Effect" and Tariff Turmoil
Geopolitical tensions played a surprisingly direct role in capping the rally. The market was rattled by U.S. President Trump’s threat to impose 10% to 25% tariffs on European countries over the Greenland sovereignty standoff.

Risk-Off Rotation: On January 20, as the tariff threat intensified, the S&P 500 slid 1.9%, and investors fled to traditional safe havens like gold and silver, which both hit all-time highs.The Pivot: Although the tariff threat was recently suspended following a "framework deal" at Davos, the damage to market sentiment was already done. Bitcoin failed to act as a "digital gold" during the peak of the tension, instead behaving like a high-beta risk asset that sold off alongside tech stocks.
3. Market Structure: The "Ghost Town" Profile
Perhaps the most concerning trend in late January 2026 is the lack of "directional conviction" in the derivatives market.
Low Engagement: Open interest in Bitcoin has dropped to approximately $27.9 billion, down significantly from the start of the year. Analysts at Glassnode describe this as a "ghost town" environment where speculative interest is muted.The Correlation Trap: Bitcoin’s correlation with the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has climbed above 0.5. Traditionally, Bitcoin moves inversely to the dollar. This renewed positive correlation suggests that investors are currently reducing exposure to both the dollar and crypto in favor of alternative asset classes.
4. Technical Outlook: The "Neutral Zone"
Technically, the market has shifted from a bearish bias to a prevailing neutral stance.
Support: The $85,000–$88,000 zone is acting as the primary floor. As long as this holds, the long-term bullish structure remains intact.Resistance: The $94,700 level (the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement) is the immediate hurdle. Until Bitcoin can secure a weekly close above this mark, any upward movement is viewed as a "short-term reaction" rather than a lasting recovery.
Conclusion: Patience Over Impulse
The current environment is "penalizing impulsive action." For Bitcoin to decisively break the $100,000 barrier, it will require more than just ETF inflows; it needs a resurgence in retail volume and a clear decoupling from the macro-economic fears currently weighing on the global markets $BTC

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to impose new tariffs on several European countries, escalating tensions between the United States and the European Union. The proposed tariffs could start around 10% and rise sharply if European leaders do not align with U.S. demands linked to strategic and geopolitical issues, including Greenland.
European governments have strongly rejected the threats, calling them economic pressure on long-time allies. EU leaders say Europe will not be intimidated and are considering counter-measures, including retaliatory tariffs.
The news has already shaken financial markets, with European stocks falling and export-dependent countries warning of major economic losses if tariffs are enforced. Analysts fear that a renewed trade conflict could hurt global growth and further strain transatlantic relations.
In short: Trump’s tariff warnings have raised fears of a new US-Europe trade war, increasing market uncertainty and political tension.#TrumpTariffsOnEurope #TRUMP #Binance #tariff $BTC $ETH
