Today, January 15, 2026, the P2P market has surprised everyone with a sudden and rapid drop. The USDT went from hovering around 630 VES yesterday to reaching levels of 505 VES this afternoon. What is actually happening?
🔍 Why does the price drop so quickly?
It's not just one reason, it's a "perfect storm":
Panic Correction: After the political volatility at the beginning of January, the price rose out of fear (buying frenzy). Today, that fear has cooled down and the market is seeking a real "floor".
BCV Intervention: Reports indicate a strong injection of foreign exchange into the national banking system to reduce the gap with the official rate (currently at 339.15 VES).
Profit Taking: Many who bought cheap before January 5 are massively selling their USDT to secure profits in bolívares.
📉 How far will the drop go?
Analysts see strong support near 450–480 VES. If that level breaks, we could see deeper stabilization. However, the exchange gap remains high (+45%), suggesting this is a temporary adjustment, not necessarily a permanent decline.
💡 Time to buy or wait?
For the cautious: If you're looking to protect savings, current levels near 500 VES are much more attractive than yesterday's 630 VES.
The warning: The market is "overreacting." Avoid panic selling if you don't urgently need bolívares, as rebounds in Venezuela tend to be as fast as the drops.
⚠️ NOTE: Many merchants appear as "Restricted" due to Binance's security filters amid this extreme volatility. Trade with caution!
