#BitcoinSix-DayRally
In the first week of January 2026, the cryptocurrency markets are rising from the ashes thanks to the "January Effect" and institutional cash flow. Bitcoin, which started its journey on January 1st, has been showing green candles for 6 consecutive days, bringing the #BitcoinSixDayRally hashtag to the world's trending topics.
The $94,000 Barrier and ETF Power
Bitcoin made a rapid entry into 2026 from the $87,400 levels, surpassing the $94,000 mark in six days. This rise is not just a technical correction, but the result of a deep liquidity wave.
ETF Wind: Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw inflows of over $1 billion in just the first days of the year. The net inflow of $697 million recorded on Monday was the highest daily figure seen since October 2025. Macro Triggers: Weak manufacturing data from the US and expectations that the Fed will continue with interest rate cuts have driven investors towards Bitcoin in search of a safe haven. Geopolitical Hedge: Tensions over Venezuela and news of global sanctions have reinforced Bitcoin's role as "digital gold" and a censorship-resistant asset.
The investor profile, wary of a recession in the last quarter of 2025, has changed strategy with this 6-day rally:
Long-Term Holders (HODLers): On-chain data shows that long-term investors are experiencing minimal selling pressure and remain in the "accumulation zone." Institutional Giants: The addition of more than 1,200 BTC by companies led by Michael Saylor in the first week of January proves that the appetite for "buying the dip" on the institutional side has not waned. Individual Investor: With the rise in popularity of rally hashtags on social media, it's observed that sideline cash is starting to enter the market.
How to Behave During the $100,000 Journey?
The market is currently in a "decision phase". Here's the professional strategy to follow during this process:
Resistance and Support Monitoring: The main resistance zone is currently between $95,000 and $98,000. If Bitcoin closes above $95,000 weekly, the psychological barrier of $100,000 could be reached before the end of January.
Gradual Profit Taking: Sharp rises often bring short-term corrections. Taking some profit around $98,000 can protect the portfolio against a potential "bull trap". Altcoin Rotation: While Bitcoin dominance is prominent in this rally, movements in major projects like Ethereum ($3,300) and Solana suggest that money may soon shift to altcoins. Important Note: The $90,000 level is currently our strongest support point. A close below this level could break the momentum of the 6-day rally.
