Bitcoin Faces $98,000 Resistance Amid Low Weekend Trading Volume
- Resistance Challenge: Bitcoin opened the weekend at $95,000, showing little movement due to low trading volumes, and despite a promising rally earlier in the week, it struggled to break through the significant resistance at $98,000 due to persistent selling pressure, indicating cautious market sentiment.
- Key Support Maintenance: As long as Bitcoin holds above the critical $94,000 mark, further attempts to surpass resistance remain plausible; however, low weekend trading volumes could jeopardize this support, potentially leading to a $400 million outflow by Friday.
- ETF Inflows: During the resistance tests on January 13 and 14, Bitcoin ETFs attracted over $1.5 billion in inflows, and despite increased market volatility, the overall influx for the week remains positive, reflecting investor optimism.
- Altcoin Recovery: While the broader market faces challenges, certain altcoins like LIT and CHZ have shown resilience, with LIT recovering above $2 and CHZ recording a 30% increase over the past week, suggesting selective recovery potential in the cryptocurrency landscape.
