Bitcoin just pushed back above $90,000 — and the pattern is changing.
Bitcoin climbed past $90K during U.S. trading hours, hitting around $91,269 (+2.5% in 24h). That alone matters, because late 2025 told a different story: crypto usually sold off every time U.S. markets opened. That pressure looks like it’s breaking.
This is only the first trading day of 2026, but the signal is clear: crypto is rising while U.S. markets are open, not hiding from them.
It’s not just Bitcoin.
ETH (~$3,135), SOL (~$134), and XRP (~$2.06) are all up close to 4%. At the same time, risk appetite is back across markets. Nasdaq is up ~0.6%, led by AI names like Nvidia, Broadcom, Micron, and Intel. Silver jumped 3%. Gold and copper are green.
Crypto stocks? They’re waking up fast.
Miners turned AI infrastructure plays are ripping: Hut 8, CleanSpark, and TeraWulf up ~10%, Cipher and IREN up ~8%. Strategy (MSTR) and Coinbase (COIN) are up over 3%, Galaxy Digital up ~7%, Circle up ~4.5%.
This matters because markets move in phases. Late 2025 was defense. Early 2026 is starting with rotation back into risk — and crypto is leading instead of lagging.
No victory laps yet. But when Bitcoin holds strength during U.S. hours, that’s usually how trend changes start.
Pay attention. These moves don’t announce themselves twice.
