Crypto markets have struggled since the October 2025 crash. Bitcoin reached $97,000 on Jan. 15 and has since fallen to about $90,000.
Gold and silver hit new all-time highs in recent months. That surge signals investors shifting into safer assets and away from riskier positions.
Geopolitical tensions have also dampened sentiment. U.S. efforts to acquire Greenland, linked to Donald Trump, have strained NATO relationships.
Slower economic growth has reduced demand for crypto assets. These macroeconomic pressures could prolong market weakness into 2026.
The Federal Reserve will inject $55 billion of liquidity starting Jan. 20. According to the Fed’s operational schedule, the move could prompt a rally and help cushion declines while many experts expect a new Bitcoin high in 2026.
