On January 25, 2026, Bitcoin dropped below $88,000, triggering $135 million in long liquidations and contributing to a broader crypto market decline. The total market capitalization fell below $3 trillion after shedding $220 billion over the past week. Ethereum also tumbled to $2,800 as bearish patterns and macroeconomic risks weighed on investor sentiment.
Traders are eyeing macroeconomic indicators to determine Bitcoin's upcoming price direction after a recent 28% slide. The cryptocurrency has been trading in a narrow range between $65,000 and $74,400 amid low liquidity and a lack of clear market narrative. Experts highlight interest rates, Treasury financing, and institutional demand as key drivers.
