For the weekend of January 24 and 25, 2026, the cryptocurrency market shows signs of stabilization after bearish corrections at the beginning of the year. Analysts suggest a cautious approach but with a moderate bullish bias due to the increase in institutional interest.
Market Analysis (January 24-25)
Bitcoin (BTC): It is consolidating near $89,000. For this weekend, the key support is located between $88,000 and $90,000. If the price exceeds $96,000 with volume, it could seek the psychological zone of $100,000.
Ethereum (ETH): It has faced pressure recently, trading around $2,938 after a weekly drop of 10.91%. The $3,000 area acts as an immediate critical resistance.
Market Sentiment: The Fear & Greed index fluctuates between 22 (extreme fear) and 27, indicating persistent short-term pessimism that could offer buying opportunities for long-term investors.
Trading Recommendations
Range Strategy: Since a sideways movement is expected, it is recommended to trade at the extremes of the range (buy near supports and sell at resistances) rather than chasing impulses in the middle.
Risk Management:
Keep stop-losses below $88,000 for long positions in BTC.
Apply the 1% rule: do not risk more than 1% of your total capital on a single trade.
Asset Priority: In the current context of "risk aversion", capital tends to rotate first towards Bitcoin, followed by AI-related alts, and thirdly, Ethereum.
Institutional Monitoring: Pay attention to Bitcoin ETF flows, which have shown positive net inflows in recent weeks, serving as fundamental support.
Upcoming Events to Watch
Fed Meeting (January 29): The market is already pricing in that rates will remain unchanged, but any change in Jerome Powell's rhetoric could cause anticipated volatility this weekend.
Solana Breakout (February 10-12): Keep an eye out for early news about Solana (SOL) that may generate early speculation.
