   <li>Altcoins followed Bitcoin’s decline with stronger losses, reflecting broader market pressure.</li>

<p>The total crypto market capitalization fell about 3% to roughly $3.2 trillion. At press time, Bitcoin was trading near $92,548, down 2.7% over the last 24 hours.</p>
<p>Altcoins experienced larger losses. Chainlink dropped 7% to $12.74, Sui fell 12% to $1.56, and Hedera Hashgraph declined 7% to $0.109.</p>
<p>Market mood has taken a noticeable turn. The Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index slid five points to 44, edging sentiment out of neutral territory and closer to fear, a shift that reflects growing unease across digital asset markets.</p>
<p>Stress was evident in the derivatives data. CoinGlass <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">data</a> show total crypto liquidations jumping 726% to roughly $870 million, while open interest dipped modestly to $137 billion.</p>
<p>At the same time, the average relative strength index across major tokens has fallen to 35, placing the broader market firmly in a “weak” momentum zone.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="eu-tariff-concerns-weigh-down-on-crypto-market">EU tariff concerns weigh down on crypto market</h2>
<p>The pullback has been driven less by crypto-specific developments and more by macro and geopolitical pressures. President Trump’s announcement of new 10% <a href="https://crypto.news/how-trump-tariffs-may-impact-crypto-market-in-2026/" target="_blank">tariffs</a> on several European countries, along with the possibility of increases to 25% if talks break down, sparked a broad risk-off reaction.</p>
<p>Capital rotated quickly toward traditional safe havens such as gold, while equities and digital assets came under sudden selling pressure. More than $500 million in long positions were wiped out in a short period, triggering a cascade of forced liquidations as leverage unwound.</p>

<p>Policy uncertainty added another degree of caution. Following reports that Coinbase had <a href="https://crypto.news/crypto-market-on-edge-as-white-house-threatens-to-withdraw-clarity-act-support/" target="_blank">withdrawn</a> its support, citing concerns about stablecoin yields and the treatment of decentralized finance, the U.S. Senate’s CLARITY Act stalled.</p>
<p>Institutional appetite seemed to be curbed by that development, especially since profit-taking was already in progress.&nbsp;Thin weekend liquidity further magnified price swings, especially following Bitcoin’s recent run above $95,000.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="short-term-outlook-and-analyst-views">Short-term outlook and analyst views</h2>
<p>The outlook for the near future is still balanced but has a slight downward tilt. Although a deeper decline toward $88,000–$90,000 cannot be ruled out if selling picks up speed, Bitcoin is finding initial support in the $90,600–$92,000 range.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Resistance on the upside is located between $93,800 and $95,000, with further obstacles between $97,000 and $98,000. To reopen the path toward the psychologically significant $100,000 level, momentum would need to be sustained.</p>
<p>In the coming days, most analysts expect a range-bound consolidation between $91,000 and $94,000.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The odds on Polymarket that Bitcoin will reach $100,000 in January have dropped to roughly 25%, suggesting less intense short-term speculation. However, long-term projections continue to be positive.</p>
<p>CoinCodex predicts an increase to roughly $103,000 by mid-February, while Grayscale <a href="https://crypto.news/grayscale-calls-2026-the-dawn-of-cryptos-institutional-era/" target="_blank">anticipates</a> new bullish pressure in H1 2026 as macro demand, regulatory clarity, and exchange-traded fund inflows drive BTC valuations higher.&nbsp;</p>
