As of 12:05 pm IST, Bitcoin was up 0.45% at $96,749, while Ethereum dipped 0.4% to $2,699. The global cryptocurrency market cap remained steady at approximately $3.2 trillion, inching up 0.02% in the past 24 hours.
Edul Patel, CEO and co-founder of Mudrex, said, “Bitcoin is holding above $96,700 after finding support near $95,000. Higher-than-expected CPI and PPI data have raised inflation concerns, reducing the likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate cut in the first half of the year. However, BTC has shown resilience at key support levels. To maintain bullish momentum, it must break past the $98,000 resistance.”

Tech view by Sathvik Vishwanath, Co-Founder & CEO, Unocoin
Currently, BTC trades around $ 96,600. Escape over $ 100,000 could move prices towards 31 January maximum $ 106,012. However, the relative force index (RSI) at 44 signaries carries the momentum and gliding average convergence (MACD) shows the bear crossover, indicating a potential disadvantage. If the BTC closes below $ 94,000, it can further reduce and test psychological support of $ 90,000.
