Technical Analysis
Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin (BTC) has continued to trend higher since the start of the New Year, with the RSI showing clear positive momentum. The key resistance level is at USD 94,500.

The cryptocurrency market showed little concern over reports of a potential U.S. military action in Venezuela over the weekend. Instead, both Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins moved higher. Positive net inflows on the first trading day signal renewed confidence from institutional investors.
However, a key factor to watch is MSCI’s decision on whether to remove DAT-related stocks, companies that hold crypto assets on their balance sheets, from its indices. The market may react in advance of the January 15, 2026 decision.
The potential downside impact is expected to be limited if MSCI decides to exclude DAT stocks, as the market may have already priced in the negative news since October 10, 2025. In addition, Strategy stocks have already increased cash reserves to cushion against volatility.
This Friday, January 9, the U.S. Nonfarm Payrolls report will be released. Job growth is expected to come in at 57,000 positions, down from 64,000 in the previous month, while the unemployment rate is forecast at 4.5%, down from 4.6%. If employment figures come in stronger than last month, it could accelerate further interest rate cuts by the monetary policy committee.
Continued buying in U.S. technology stocks is also providing support for Bitcoin prices. From an investment strategy perspective, investors may consider increasing exposure to Bitcoin and altcoins to align with the positive market momentum expected in January
