Bitcoin hovered near 2026 highs above $91,000 into Sunday's weekly close while traders assessed potential volatility linked to U.S. military action in Venezuela. Market participants focused on order-book liquidity around $88,000 and resistance near $92,000–$95,000, with some analysts highlighting thin sell orders above $95,000 and a possible shift in Bitcoin's performance relative to gold.

Bitcoin spot inflows surged about 1,671% within a five-minute window, a move capable of shifting price and short-term order flow. After a decline from levels over six figures into the low-$90,000s and a flush of leverage, resistance stands between the mid-$90,000 area and $100,000, making consistent spot demand and restrained futures positioning critical for continuation.

Bitcoin rose above $91,000 after breaking a mid‑December 2025 range, with Polymarket showing a 70% chance of $95K in January. Addresses holding 1,000+ BTC turned from net selling to accumulation, according to Checkonchain. Technicals on TradingView showed RSI nearing overbought and a positive MACD crossover as traders eyed the $94K–$95K zone.

Bitcoin has broken out above a descending channel following an extended correction, but momentum remains muted and conviction light. The price is approaching the $94K–$96K supply zone, with $95K as local resistance, while a tightening wedge and liquidation clusters around $85K–$87K keep the risk of a pullback toward $80K in play.

Bitcoin climbed as traders probed a major resistance zone, keeping the $100,000 threshold in play. Analyst Michaël van de Poppe flagged a possible dip to close a CME futures gap before continuation, while on-chain watcher Maartunn monitored the Inter-Exchange Flow Pulse for confirmation. Momentum tools such as RSI and MACD still lean supportive, though a breakout needs validation.

Wintermute transferred a net 1,213 BTC, about $107 million, to Binance on Dec. 31, 2025 during thin liquidity. Further net deposits continued on Jan. 1 and Jan. 2, while the alleged urgent accumulation ahead of the Jan. 2 Fed announcement was not supported by the day’s net flows. Records indicate inventory distribution rather than directional buying.

On January 4, 2026, Robert Kiyosaki argued that pursuing formal education for job security is outdated, pointing to 2025 layoff figures at UPS, Amazon, Intel and other major firms. He urged people to build financial intelligence and accumulate assets such as Bitcoin, gold, silver and Ethereum, as BTC trades near $91,500 with a potential move toward $100,000 and downside risk to the low $80,000s.

Bitcoin surged at the start of the year after closing 2025 near $87,000 despite having set a record above $126,000 in early October. Several analysts now project new highs between $126,200 and roughly $210,000 for 2026, while others warn that if the four-year cycle persists BTC could plunge to $32,000 and spend time trading in a wide band between $80,687 and $98,880.
