• Bitcoin’s bullish price outlook remains, but a retest of support near $90,000 poses a threat to this.
• The latest price action comes amid a whale move to transfer $84 million in BTC that had been dormant for 12 years.
• Global stocks and crypto faced new downside pressure amid escalating US-EU trade tensions.

The Bitcoin price revisited support below $92,000 early Tuesday as a whale’s sudden jolt stirred sentiment amid a transfer of over 900 BTC worth approximately $84 million, with the coins having been dormant for over a decade.

Mounting pressures on the cryptocurrency’s price also coincide with broader market jitters, which are largely fueled by escalating US-EU trade tensions over Greenland.

BTC also traded lower as US Treasury yields rose.

Bitcoin whale moves coins dormant for over 12 years

Details shared by blockchain tracker Lookonchain showed that an old wallet, labeled “1A2hq…pZGZm,” shifted 909 BTC to a fresh address “bc1qk…sxaeh” for the first time in 12 years.

More than $84 million worth of BTC was first loaded in the wallet in 2013 when BTC traded below $7.

With prices skyrocketing over the year, the whale finds themselves sitting on unrealized profits exceeding 13,000%.

The movement mirrors similar transfers seen when Bitcoin exploded past the $100,000.

A Bitcoin OG has woken up after 13 years of dormancy, moving all 909.38 $BTC($84.62M) into a new wallet.

When this OG first received $BTC 13 years ago, the price was under $7 — now up ~13,900×.https://t.co/gc0FeYxGkz pic.twitter.com/lxfikGdfNl

BTC price slipped nearly 2% as social media erupted with speculation of profit-taking.

However, with the whale’s funds remaining off exchanges, analysts are pointing to a possible wallet consolidation or enhanced security rather than imminent offloading.

Fed’s $3.8B liquidity injection puts crypto assets on alert

The Federal Reserve is set to inject $3.8 billion into the economy on Tuesday, drawing close attention from crypto traders who see potential upside for Bitcoin amid easing macro liquidity conditions.

The move comes as global markets refocus on liquidity, following a period of balance sheet expansion by the Fed aimed at supporting market functioning.

Such injections are often viewed as constructive for risk assets, including Bitcoin (BTC), based on the view that looser funding conditions in traditional markets can support higher asset prices.

Previous Fed liquidity operations, including a $29.4 billion repo injection in 2025, were cited by the founder of Cardano (ADA) as potentially supportive for Bitcoin and other risk assets.

During the last liquidity injection period, from December 12, 2025, to January 14, 2026, Bitcoin rose from about $90,270 to roughly $96,929.

On Monday, crypto watcher DefiWimar wrote on X that, “When traditional money printing kicks into high gear, smart money flows into crypto,” underscoring how increased liquidity can influence asset allocation decisions.

​Bitcoin faces mounting headwinds

Bitcoin has recently slid to the $90,000 level, further eroding the bullish sentiment that dominated amid the spike to above $97k.

In early Asian hours on Jan. 20, sellers pushed prices to $90,620.

This mirrored dips for Nasdaq futures, which were down by over 1.6% amid persistent headwinds in recent weeks.

While stocks have not recorded a major pullback, broader risk-off sentiment has capped the moves seen in 2026.

Cryptocurrencies have recorded similar downturns, even as gold leads safe-haven assets to new record highs.

Economist Mohamed El-Erian shared this outlook on X.

On a day when geo-economics is again very much in evidence—including the possibility of an EU–US trade war over Greenland (with the UK seemingly caught in a messy middle)—gold has once more traded at a record high, exceeding $4,700 an ounce.

On Tuesday, Bitcoin and US stocks futures shed gains as the 10-year US Treasury yield climbed to 4.287%, a four-month high.

Notably, higher yields lift borrowing costs for loans, mortgages, and investments worldwide, impacting risk sentiment.

As El-Erian notes, President Donald Trump’s tariff threats against Europe over Greenland have sparked retaliation worries, driving bond sales and yield surges.

While the market weighs the situation, analysts say these macro risks could sideline capital from volatile assets like Bitcoin.

BTC traded just above $91,140 at the time of writing.

• Stellar price dropped sharply as altcoins shed recent gains.
• Broader market conditions, with Bitcoin dipping towards support, are a critical indicator.
• XLM bulls could see stagnation if the price drops to $0.20 or lower.

Stellar price traded lower as top altcoins mirrored the movement of Bitcoin on Monday, and a slice through $0.22 threatened further declines toward the critical $0.20 support area.

As selling pressure mounts, drawing fresh bearish bets across crypto exchanges, the broader market caution could allow for a deeper correction.

Currently, bears dominate sentiment, fueled by technical breakdowns and fading on-chain conviction.

XLM price nears multi-month support

Stellar’s price has seen $0.20 emerge as a multi-month demand zone in recent months.

Recently, the altcoin trended to above $0.24 before falling to support at $0.22.

An attempt to recoup losses ended around $0.23, leaving the altcoin sliding to under $0.21 on Jan. 19 as Bitcoin plunged to under $93,000.

The repeated rejections, with a marked downtrend, might erode buyer resolve and allow for a plunge to $0.20 or below.

In favour of bears are derivatives that currently scream caution. Open interest has dropped to $131 million, with long-to-short ratios signaling more shorts piling in. This setup emboldens bears eyeing sub-$0.20 targets. BTC correlation will also matter.

“Gold just hit a new all-time high of $4,600. It’s now headed towards $5,000, a major 4.618 Fibonacci extension resistance level,” crypto analyst Lark Davis noted on X.

But the analyst added:

“But the faster gold blasts through to $5,000, the quicker we could see meaningful capital rotation out of precious metals and into Bitcoin.”

Stellar price technical outlook

Bears thrive on clear chart failures and XLM trades below both its 50-day ($0.227) and 200-day ($0.324) moving averages.

Prices have accelerated lower since October 10, 2025, forming a bearish structure with RSI retreating to under 50 following a brief spike to the overbought line.

The price rejections at previous support zones mean $0.25 and $0.22 now act as overhead resistance.

Meanwhile, a daily close below $0.20 could accelerate the dump toward multi-year lows of $0.18 and $0.14.

On the upside, Stellar will target $0.32 and $0.41 supply zones. A daily close above $0.23 will validate this thesis, opening up conviction trades.

The last time XLM price went parabolic, bulls exploded from lows of $0.10 to above $0.63 in November 2024, and again from lows of $0.24 to peak at $0.52 in July 2025.

Gains came amid spikes for XRP, an altcoin related to XLM in terms of its product goals.

The Ripple token reached highs of $3.42 in July, outpacing the broader market amid major catalysts such as regulatory milestones and the launch of the RLUSD stablecoin.

• Sui price fell as tariff jitters spooked global markets.
• The token tumbled 12% in the past 24 hours as Bitcoin retreated under $93,000.
• Tariff jitters and overall risk-off sentiment threaten further SUI downturn.

Sui price plunged nearly 13% to lows of $1.55 amid a broader market downturn marked by significant capital exodus from risk assets.

This sharp correction, amplified by Bitcoin’s retreat from $96,000 highs to under $93,000 and Ethereum’s retest of $3,200, came as crypto saw over $680 million in longs liquidated.

Many analysts are pointing to escalating geopolitical tensions tied to U.S. tariff threats on Europe over Greenland.

Sui price plunges amid Bitcoin weakness

Sui tumbled from $1.70 to a daily low of $1.54, breaching its 50-day exponential moving average at $1.70. The altcoin’s price has entered oversold territory with RSI below 40.

Bears showed their teeth as Bitcoin’s price revisited the $92,500 support mark. As seen recently, this exacerbated the drop in altcoins.

Sui, with a higher beta, suffered notable losses and saw over 10 million SUI tokens flow to exchanges.

Technically, failure to reclaim $1.65 risks a slide to $1.40, with Sui’s support breach amid BTC deleveraging screaming further caution for bulls.

Recently, a six-hour network outage dented community sentiment, and despite key upgrades, the lingering concern suggests a potentially slow recovery.

However, if Bitcoin stabilises above $92,000 and reclaims key levels below $100,000, a follow-up altcoin rebound could see SUI eye the $2 mark and higher in the coming days.

Sui price fell as tariff jitters spooked global markets

The rout in top altcoins comes as BTC and ETH pull back after President Trump’s threat of 10% tariffs on several European countries.

Escalating to 25% by June, the tariffs will target imports from Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, the UK, and Finland.

These measures retaliate against opposition to the US acquisition of Greenland, prized for Arctic security and rare earth minerals.

European indices like DAX and CAC 40 fell over 2% on Monday, but gold surged, and the dollar index topped 108, pressuring crypto.

In retaliation, the EU has readied €93 billion in countermeasures, but with a potential trade war in the making, many alts could face further pain.

While Bitcoin ETF inflows offer a floor, miner capitulation as profitability weakens may spell doom.” It means the $90k zone is a key threshold, with retail doomed if prices fall further.

Crypto trader BitGuru thinks the decline has allowed Sui to sweep liquidity “into a key demand zone.” The next move is key as the current price level has often acted as a base for the next leg up.

• Cardano price dropped to $0.37 after another rejection around $0.40.
• The technical picture points to a potential downside continuation to $0.32.
• The ADA price was down 4% in the past 24 hours.

Cardano’s ADA token is down and faces a brutal supply wall near $0.40, where relentless selling pressure threatens to derail bulls’ hopes of an extended upside.

The token changed hands nearly 4% in the red on Friday, hovering around $0.38 as short-term downside risks persist for top coins. As the chart below shows, ADA traded to a daily low of $0.379.

Cardano price hits supply wall near $0.40

Cardano’s price action has recently encountered a formidable supply wall around the $0.40 threshold, a level that has repeatedly acted as a barrier to upward momentum.

The 50-day exponential moving average sits at $0.41, and acts as a stubborn ceiling that has informed multiple price rejections.

Meanwhile, ​the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart currently lingers below the neutral mark. In technical analysis, this highlights a potential extension towards the oversold territory with a sloping outlook.

Another indicator, the ADX, shows a reading of 19.5 and points to bearish strength.

The negative directional dominance favours sellers.

The MACD similarly shows bearish divergence under the zero line, while Bollinger Bands contract toward the lower rail. It all adds up to a token facing huge downside volatility.

The $0.40 zone is therefore just another key resistance level, but a zone of notable supply overhang.

Cardano shows weakness amid broader headwinds

Cryptocurrencies ended the past year largely bearish amid broader market headwinds.

This saw Bitcoin struggle to defend key levels and fall to lows of $80,000 before bouncing. BTC, however, has retreated from above $97,500, and this looks to have capped momentum for top altcoins.

QCP analysts recently noted that while the macro environment could boost bulls, volatility might remain elevated. Both Bitcoin and Ethereum thus show a risk-off outlook unless the market sees cleaner spot bids.

Vaulta is among the altcoins to falter amid this downturn, and Cardano’s on-chain metrics, like dormant supply activation, point to similar sell-off pressure.

Recent rejections from the 50-day EMA also come after prices fell sharply from above $0.82 on October 10, 2025. The moving average now sits at $0.41 and recently triggered a decline to lows of $0.37.

Currently, ADA is back at the fragile $0.38 support, and with funding rates flipping negative, shorts may have an upper hand.

This classic bearish signal signals that retail optimism is evaporating. However, the 26% decrease in daily volume betrays weak conviction, and price may probe the key supply zone again.

If ADA price doesn’t reclaim $0.40 with a volume surge, it risks a 10% breakdown that could bring multi-month support lows of $0.32.

• Vaulta, formerly EOS, plunged to a lows of $0.14 to mark its drop to a new all-time low.
• The token was down 20% in the past 24 hours and saw trading volume spike by more than 400%.
• Selling pressure might see A extend losses to a new level.

Vaulta’s price has crashed 20% in the past 24 hours, with bears smashing through support to hit a new all-time low under $0.14.

This brutal drop, which occurred amid a spike in daily spot volume, deepens the pain for the token formerly known as EOS, which had traded as high as $0.77 in May last year.

If not aware, Vaulta rebranded from the former EOS network in early 2025, moving from a smart contracts-focused platform to a web3 banking network.

Bulls saw the A token rise to the all-time high highlighted above before this uptick began to evaporate.

The past 24 hours have seen Dash and Axie Infinity extend gains, but on the other end of the line are top losers like Kaito and Vaulta.

​Vaulta price: profit-taking sees A hit a new all-time low

The panic selling that gripped the broader crypto market as Bitcoin shed gains from its all-time high of $126,000 meant A dumped sharply.

Post-rebrand optimism fading allowed sellers to accelerate the capitulation.

Vaulta’s slide has now pushed prices to a new all-time low, with sellers flooding the market and crushing momentum. Data from CoinMarketCap shows daily trading volume jumped more than 400% to $128 million.

The downside action that has led to a broader altcoin market slowdown could amplify the pain for Vaulta.

Many altcoins’ struggles are tied to Bitcoin’s own stumbles below $100,000 and current poise near key support levels.

​Technical outlook spells doom

Vaulta’s charts paint a nightmare scenario for bulls. The token has recently recoiled off the 50-day exponential moving average, which has acted as a resistance zone around $0.18-$0.20.

Other technical indicators signal a bearish stranglehold, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) sloping towards the oversold territory. While it could allow for a reversal, the reading of 34 means there is room for another leg down.

Elsewhere, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator hints at a bearish crossover.

Buyers may eye a rebound amid long-shot catalysts such as network upgrades and broader altcoin market bounces. However, near-term sentiment remains toxic with open interest sinking to $13 million.

According to Coinglass data, the unforgiving downside action has also pushed the open interest weighted funding rate to -0.0294%.
