Bitcoin steadies as options skew bearish below $90K amid macro focus
Bitcoin hovered near $89,000 as a new institutional report pointed to a more resilient, macro-driven market structure, while a large options expiry this week keeps $90,000 in focus for traders. A steadier phase, shaped by macro and positioning Bitcoin is entering 2026 in a firmer state after excess leverage was flushed out in last year’s fourth-quarter selloff, according to a quarterly report from Coinbase Institutional and Glassnode released Tuesday. The report said Bitcoin is acting more like a macro-sensitive asset shaped by global liquidity, institutional positioning, and portfolio rebalancing. “We believe that crypto markets are entering 2026 in a healthier state,” the report said, adding that the macro backdrop and monetary policy “should be supportive.” One forward-looking gauge is Coinbase’s Global M2 Money Supply Index, which the firm said has historically led Bitcoin’s price by roughly 110 days. The index remains positively aligned with the current quarter, though money supply growth is expected to moderate later in the period. Derivatives positioning supports the thesis. Open interest in Bitcoin options has overtaken perpetual futures, with more investors paying for downside protection rather than adding directional leverage. “This week’s market landscape presents an intriguing dilemma for directional and day traders,” VALR co-founder and CEO Farzam Ehsani told Decrypt. On-chain data shows tokens changing hands more quickly late last year, and the share of long-held supply edged lower, suggesting investors were reallocating rather than exiting. Sentiment has softened since October, slipping from optimism to caution. The report cautioned that slowing liquidity growth, renewed inflation pressures, or geopolitical shocks could test the market’s durability. Bitcoin is up 0.45% on the day to $88,868 and down 0.64% over the past seven days. Options expiry tilts bearish below $90,000 A $10.8 billion Bitcoin options expiry on Friday is a key near-term catalyst, with bearish bets holding the advantage unless bulls force a breakout above $90,000, according to options data analysis. Calls dominate open interest with $6.6 billion versus $4.2 billion in puts, but positioning does not translate to control. Deribit leads with a 78.7% market share, followed by OKX at 6.3% and CME at 5%. Less than 17% of Jan. 30 call interest at Deribit sits below $92,500. Deep in-the-money calls are costly for most retail traders, with examples showing a $70,000 Feb. 27 call at 0.212 BTC versus 0.109 BTC for an $80,000 call, while far out-of-the-money $110,000 calls can cost below 0.002 BTC. Many $100,000-and-higher calls reflect covered call strategies used to earn premiums rather than pure bullish wagers. Indicative outcomes for Friday at Deribit show puts favored by $775 million if Bitcoin settles between $86,000 and $88,000, puts favored by $325 million between $88,001 and $90,000, and calls favored by $220 million between $90,001 and $92,000. As long as the price stays below $90,000, the edge leans to bearish strategies. The post Bitcoin steadies as options skew bearish below $90K amid macro focus appeared first on Invezz

Shiba Inu Price Gains Momentum As 700 Billion Tokens Exit Exchanges
Shiba Inu investors have pulled massive amounts of tokens from cryptocurrency exchanges in recent days. The withdrawal trend signals growing confidence in the meme coin's future performance. Data from CryptoQuant shows over 250 billion SHIB tokens left exchanges following a week of minimal trading activity. Monday alone saw an even larger movement, with 450 billion tokens withdrawn by holders. Large Wallet Activity Raises Questions Blockchain analytics platform Arkham Intelligence tracked notable whale activity during this period. An unidentified wallet moved 61.6 billion SHIB tokens through Coinbase in a round-trip transaction. The total value reached approximately $500,000. The unusual deposit-and-withdrawal pattern creates speculation about investor intentions. Two scenarios emerge from this behavior. The wallet holder either conducted a deliberate fake-out maneuver or experienced a sudden change in strategy before executing a sale. Such large transactions often provide clues about market sentiment. Whale movements can influence retail investor decisions and overall price action. The quick reversal of the Coinbase deposit adds intrigue to current market dynamics. Current Price Action Shows Minor Decline Despite Withdrawal Trend Shiba Inu's price performance remains closely tied to overall crypto market conditions. Bitcoin and Ethereum movements often influence meme coin behavior. Correlation between major assets and SHIB persists across market cycles. At the time of writing, SHIB trades at around $0.00000773, suggesting a 0.33% decline in the last 24 hours.

Record Pain: Bitcoin Investors Suffer $4.5B Loss, Most In 3 Years
Reports note that Bitcoin holders realized large losses as prices slid, and the headline number is hard to ignore. According to on-chain tracker CryptoQuant, about $4.5 billion in net losses was recorded on January 23. Related Reading: Bitcoin Influencers Get Spotlight In X’s New ‘Starterpacks’ That number reflects moved coins sold at prices lower than when they were bought. It is a big transfer of paper pain into real losses. Realized Losses Spike While the dollar figure grabs attention, the meaning is what matters. Many who bought late in the run higher are choosing to sell rather than hold through more decline. That behavior shows frustration. Reports say the Net Realized Profit and Loss metric tallies this by comparing sell prices to purchase prices, and a negative reading this large signals a wave of capitulation. Some larger, long-term holders have been quieter. Their activity appears muted while smaller and mid-term participants make the day-to-day moves. According to analyst posts on CryptoQuant, this mix — quiet big holders and active smaller sellers — is common during corrective stretches. It does not automatically mean the market is broken; it means sentiment has shifted toward caution. $4.5 Billion in Realized Loss on Bitcoin “Highest amount of realized losses in three years. The last time this occurred in Bitcoin, the price was trading at $28,000 after a brief correction period that lasted about a year.” – By @gaah_im pic.twitter.com/OJ7bbL3RSC — CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) January 26, 2026 Bitcoin Price Action Midway through the week, Bitcoin traded around the mid-$80,000s, well below the $90,000 mark that some investors had eyed as a key level. Market chatter shows traders watching macro cues like the US Federal Reserve and inflation data for guidance. Volatility has not disappeared; it has simply become more tied to broader economic signals than to isolated crypto headlines. Whale addresses appeared to step in at times, helping to hold local price floors. But many traders remain cautious. Reports note that geopolitical headlines can cause quick swings, yet the current movement looks more like slow digestion of profit and repositioning than explosive panic selling. Activity on spot exchanges and ETF flows has been variable, reflecting the mixed mood across the market. Related Reading: XRP Showing Strength, Analyst Points To $4 Potential Capitulation Has Come Before Similar loss spikes were seen in March 2023, when realized losses reached close to $6 billion, and in November 2022, when losses hit roughly $4.3 billion. These events were followed by consolidation and then eventual recovery. Based on reports from analytics firms and market observers, spikes in realized losses can mark the late stages of selling pressure, after which the market sometimes finds a base.
