Bitcoin’s resilient basis rate and options data suggest limited downside despite ETF outflows, while BTC waits for a catalyst that can help it reclaim $90,000.

Bitcoin’s technical and onchain market structure was robust throughout 2025, but ever-shifting macroeconomic conditions eventually put a cap on BTC price. Will the trend shift in 2026?

In an exclusive Cointelegraph interview, the crypto analyst pointed to macro headwinds, muted sentiment and cycle dynamics shaping Bitcoin’s path into 2026.

Bitcoin and several major altcoins attempted to start a relief rally, but higher levels continue to attract strong selling by the bears.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino warned that an AI sector correction could spill over into crypto markets in 2026, with some analysts projecting BTC to drop to as low as $65,000.

Bitcoin simmered below resistance but teased a bullish breakout as the Asia trading session accompanied new all-time highs for gold and silver.

Headlines move crypto fast, but liquidity decides what lasts. Data from ETFs, stablecoins and onchain flows shows what really drives prices.

BTC may fall to $70,000 and ETH to $2,400 if the Fed pauses rate cuts in the first quarter of 2026 and inflationary pressure persists.
