Market data shows that Bitcoin consolidated after falling below $90,000. Analysts believe this decline aligns with risk aversion in traditional markets, indicating a rise in risk aversion in the crypto market. Derivatives data shows that Bitcoin's 30-day implied volatility (IV) rose to 44.34 on Tuesday, while open interest (OI) fell 3.25% to $28.3 billion in the past 24 hours, suggesting that traders with short positions took profits during this period. However, funding rates generally remained positive throughout the sell-off. Additionally, Zcash open interest decreased by 2.5%, while the price rose by 1.5%, indicating that short position holders since January 8th are beginning to reduce their bearish exposure. (CoinDesk)

Key takeawaysRising US and Japanese bond yields signal mounting macro stress, dragging total crypto market cap 32% below its October 2025 peak.Bitcoin and Ether revisit two-week lows as investors de-risk amid tariff escalation fears.Gold and silver outperform as markets rotate toward traditional safe havens.The cryptocurrency market extended its sell-off on Tuesday as investors reacted to renewed tariff threats from US President Donald Trump, triggering a broader risk-off move across global markets.Bitcoin and Ether fell back to their lowest levels in more than two weeks as crypto traders digested rising geopolitical tensions tied to Washington’s standoff with Europe over Greenland. The proposed tariffs — aimed at pressuring Denmark to reconsider control of the territory — have so far met firm resistance from European leaders, raising fears of a prolonged trade confrontation.The risk aversion spread quickly across asset classes. The S&P 500 slid 1.9%, while gold surged to a fresh all-time high as investors sought safety. Total cryptocurrency market capitalization dropped to $2.71 trillion, down from nearly $3 trillion just one week earlier, according to market data.Bond yields flash macro warning signalsMacro stress intensified as sovereign bond yields climbed sharply. The US five-year Treasury yield rose to its highest level in nearly six months — a move often associated with recession concerns or rising inflation expectations, as investors demand higher compensation to hold government debt.Billionaire investor Ray Dalio warned that the global economy may be entering a “new phase of financial conflict,” telling CNBC that geopolitical disputes increasingly risk spilling beyond trade into capital flows and asset allocation decisions.Dalio has previously cautioned that confidence in US assets — including the dollar — could weaken during periods of fiscal strain. While such narratives often support the long-term case for digital assets, precious metals have so far captured the inflows. Silver has climbed roughly 64% since December, lifting its market capitalization to around $5.3 trillion.European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen added to market tension on Tuesday, stating that any EU response to US measures would be “unflinching, united, and proportional,” reinforcing concerns about broader economic spillovers.Crypto market loses ground to global assetsBitcoin currently ranks as the world’s eighth-largest tradable asset, with a market capitalization near $1.8 trillion. However, large corporates such as Saudi Aramco and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company continue to narrow the gap.Ether’s position appears more vulnerable. With a market value near $360 billion, ETH has slipped to roughly 42nd place globally, falling behind companies including Home Depot and Netflix.Overall, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization remains about 32% below its October 2025 peak, underscoring the scale of the ongoing correction.Japan bond shock adds to global contagion fearsInvestor unease has also been amplified by developments in Japan. Yields on 20-year Japanese government bonds surged to record highs on Tuesday, reigniting concerns over fiscal sustainability in one of the world’s most indebted economies.Japan’s public debt exceeds 200% of GDP, and speculation over a snap election — which could grant Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi a mandate to expand stimulus — has unsettled bond markets, according to the Financial Times.TD Securities warned that the spike in Japanese yields has already spilled over into US, UK and Canadian bond markets, calling it a “warning sign” that global bond markets can reprice rapidly when fiscal credibility is questioned.Bitcoin recovery hinges on geopoliticsWith bond markets under strain and geopolitical tensions escalating, cryptocurrencies remain exposed to macro-driven volatility.For now, Bitcoin’s ability to reclaim the $95,000 level — and Ether’s prospects of revisiting $3,300 — appear heavily dependent on whether President Trump can reach some form of compromise with European leaders during high-level talks scheduled this week.Until clearer political or monetary signals emerge, analysts say crypto markets are likely to remain defensive, trading in reaction to global macro developments rather than internal fundamentals.

Bitcoin slipped below the $90,000 psychological level on Tuesday as onchain data pointed to renewed selling from whales and long-term holders, raising the risk of a deeper pullback toward the $84,000–$86,000 support zone.The move comes as large investors increased exchange deposits and long-term holders accelerated profit-taking following Bitcoin’s recent rally toward $97,000.Bitcoin falls below $90K as selling pressure buildsBitcoin, during the New York trading session, BTC dropped below $90,000, extending losses as broader market sentiment weakened and onchain indicators signaled rising distribution activity.According to CryptoQuant’s Whale Screener, large wallets deposited more than $400 million worth of Bitcoin into spot exchanges on Jan. 20, a level historically associated with preparation to sell or increased market-side liquidity.“This marks the second major BTC deposit spike in a short period,” said CryptoQuant analyst Amr Taha, noting that a similar $500 million whale inflow occurred on Jan. 15.“Large BTC deposits to spot exchanges usually indicate elevated sell-side pressure,” Taha said, adding that such moves often precede short-term price weakness.Long-term holders accelerate profit-takingBeyond whale flows, long-term holder (LTH) behavior is adding to downside pressure.Glassnode data shows the LTH net position change has remained negative since early January, with approximately 68,650 BTC sold over the past 30 days.This indicates that long-term investors — typically considered a stabilizing force — are distributing into price strength, including the recent rally toward $97,000.In practical terms, long-term holders appear to be locking in profits during rebounds rather than accumulating, reinforcing the current corrective structure.Still, analysts note that similar levels of LTH selling were observed in mid-December 2025, shortly before Bitcoin rebounded from $84,000 to $94,700 in early January — offering a potential historical parallel.Key Bitcoin support levels to watchWith BTC now trading near $89,000, analysts are closely monitoring nearby technical zones.$87,300: 100-week simple moving average (SMA)$84,000–$86,000: Major demand and psychological support zone$80,500: November local low and deeper downside targetA sustained break below the 50-day SMA near $90,000 and the 20-day EMA around $92,000 could open the door for a retest of lower support levels. Analysts warn bounce may be temporaryMN Capital founder Michael van de Poppe said Bitcoin is now trading back inside its broader range as geopolitical risks intensify.“Bitcoin breaks down into the range as geopolitics worsen,” van de Poppe wrote on X, noting that momentum indicators are approaching oversold levels.His analysis points to a potential short-term relief bounce between $84,000 and $86,000, but not yet a confirmed trend reversal.“The RSI is just as oversold as during the collapse toward $80,000,” he said. “We could see a bounce — not a reversal.”Can Bitcoin regain $90K?For bulls, reclaiming and holding above $90,000 remains critical to restoring market confidence.Until whale exchange inflows slow and long-term holder selling stabilizes, analysts warn that Bitcoin may remain vulnerable to downside volatility — particularly as macro uncertainty and geopolitical tensions continue to pressure risk assets.For now, the market appears caught between distribution at higher levels and defensive positioning, with traders watching closely whether the $84,000 zone can once again act as a structural floor, according to Cointelegraph.
