Bitcoin fell back to just above $92,000 on January 6, 2026, erasing early gains amid a return to downward pressure during U.S. trading hours. The pullback occurred as U.S. stocks rose modestly and precious metals surged, with spot Bitcoin ETFs recording significant inflows. Despite the decline, futures open interest reached highs, signaling ongoing market interest.
CME Group began 24/7 trading of its Bitcoin futures and options on May 29. The move came as Bitcoin dropped below $70,000 and liquidations accelerated. Early volume reached 7,200 contracts worth about $50 million over the first weekend.
