Crypto Morning – January 20, 2026
The most important information from the cryptocurrency market
1) Bitcoin remains under pressure – price fluctuations
Bitcoin continues to move sideways after last week's declines and today is hovering around approx. 90,000 USD. The movement is moderate, but clearly under stronger supply control than demand. Volumes are not significantly increasing, suggesting that investors are still waiting for a clearer macro or technical signal.
The market is cautious, and BTC volatility affects the entire altcoin space.
2) XRP holds stronger than most altcoins
Despite the overall decline in sentiment, XRP shows relative strength. Currently, the price hovers around 1.95 – 1.98 USD, and inflows into ETFs and lower supply listed on exchanges continue to support its position.
Institutional investors still maintain exposure, making XRP less sensitive to short-term declines than many other altcoins.
3) The broad altcoin market is on the defensive
After the latest macroeconomic and geopolitical movements, most altcoins are moving in a sideways zone or losing value. ETH maintains key support, but without clear demand, the price outlook resembles consolidation rather than a rebound.
4) Market sentiment – caution continues to dominate
Sentiment indices show that defensive strategists dominate. Investors are holding capital closer to stablecoins or low-beta positions like BTC and large altcoins, instead of aggressively entering the market.
5) What could influence the market today
On the horizon, we have several events that could fuel volatility: • macro data releases (inflation and employment in the USA)
• monetary policy decisions
• further publications regarding ETFs and institutional capital
Such impulses can shift the market from defensive to a more aggressive mode within hours.
