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.
For the first time, open interest in Bitcoin options has exceeded that of futures, reaching $74.1 billion compared to $65.22 billion as of mid-January. This shift highlights a move toward more structured risk management in the market. Institutions are increasingly using options for hedging and volatility strategies rather than simple directional bets.
