The cryptocurrency market remains range-bound and volatile over the weekend, with Federal Reserve policies being the key to breaking the deadlock

【Navigation Compass】BTC stays glued to the 90,000 level. A quick overview of the latest news: On the first weekend of January 2026, Bitcoin retreated after touching $92,000, remaining around $90,600 in a steady oscillation. Ethereum hovers around $3,100, with trading volume significantly shrinking. The main reason is that US non-farm payroll data fell short of expectations. The market anticipates a 96% probability that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged in January, but signals for rate cuts are still unclear, and funds are in a wait-and-see mode. This week, Fed officials will collectively speak, and their dovish or hawkish statements will be crucial in breaking the range. Personal opinion: The current market is in a “policy vacuum” consolidation phase. Bitcoin’s daily chart is supported by the midline, and the four-hour Bollinger Bands are flat, typical of a “frustrating market.” It is recommended to adopt a wait-and-see approach, avoiding frequent trading to save costs. Focus on whether Bitcoin can break through $92,000, which requires increased trading volume to be valid; keep an eye on support levels at $90,000 and $89,000, as a break below could trigger a short-term correction. It’s like sailing into a windless zone—blindly paddling is futile. Patience and waiting for clear wind direction before adjusting course is the wiser choice. #BTC
