Bitcoin retreats to $90,000, market sentiment shifts—economic outlook determines subsequent direction

【Crypto World】The recent cryptocurrency market has been quite turbulent. Bitcoin surged to $94,000 on January 6th but then pulled back, now consolidating around $90,000, showing some signs of weakness. The entire crypto market has fallen nearly 2% within 24 hours, and the global market capitalization of cryptocurrencies has dropped to $3.2 trillion.

Speaking of which, at the beginning of January, everyone was quite optimistic—ETF funds were flowing in, and the New Year atmosphere also boosted market sentiment, which was quite positive for a while. But these good days didn’t last long. Since the crash in October 2025, the market has been significantly damaged, and investors have been feeling a bit uneasy. Many have simply shifted their focus to traditional safe-haven assets like gold and silver, which have repeatedly hit new all-time highs.

The core issue still lies in macroeconomics—uncertainty is too high, and economic growth is not ideal. These factors continue to dampen investors’ enthusiasm for risk assets. However, some analysts remain optimistic. The CoinCodex team still has a bullish outlook on Bitcoin, predicting that by January 12, 2026, Bitcoin could reattain $100,000, potentially triggering broader gains. The key still depends on whether there are signs of an economic recovery.

90,000 dollars can't be held anymore, this time really is different Economic issues again? Fine, I believe it Where is the optimism from January? Now it's just cowardice The big players are selling off again, same old trick Gold has risen so sharply, no wonder people are fleeing Where will it stop this time if it drops? Can someone tell me? It's just macroeconomic chaos, when isn't the crypto world chaotic? Feels like this wave can't be stabilized, about to break 90,000?

94,000 is back to 90,000. This move is making people a bit overwhelmed. Gold has hit a new high, and we're still here wondering what to do. Macroeconomic uncertainty, who dares to hold a heavy position? It's too difficult. Is it starting to short again? Feels like we haven't touched the bottom yet. The sharp drop in October really caused deep damage. Now everything looks timid.

9.4K didn't hold up, this wave is indeed a bit risky. Wait, if the economic data really improves, then consider getting in. Right now, it's just getting cut. Gold takes off while Bitcoin drops, I just laughed... This market is really ridiculous. Once again, hit hard by macroeconomic factors. When can we become independent? Honestly, the October wave hasn't fully recovered yet, and there's a bit of a psychological shadow. This key level of 90K must be held, or else it will continue to decline. Funds have all moved into gold, which definitely shows everyone's mentality has exploded. With market sentiment so poor, every rebound is just a trap for the bagholders.

9.4K drops back to 9K, this wave of correction is really starting to be hard to hold on to Starting to run towards gold again, it seems everyone's mentality has really collapsed The economy is so unstable, no matter how much Bitcoin is hyped, it's useless Market sentiment is just like this, let's wait and see Although it's uncomfortable, this is normal market behavior, don't overthink it The optimism from January is gone, now it's all about various uncertainties Is it better to buy the dip or wait and see? So conflicted Macro conditions haven't improved, even if the crypto market rises high, it still needs to be shaken up Can it really break 80,000 this time? Feels like the probability isn't small

It dropped again. I said 94,000 is the top, but why is everyone still trying to push? Really, every time it's the same. By the time I realize there's a problem, the big V influencers have already run. If the macro economy isn't doing well, don't expect the coins to rise. Why do I have to learn this painful lesson every time? Oh my, I was originally thinking of bottom-fishing, but now I'm trapped again. Gold has hit a new high, and you're still holding onto Bitcoin? I think that's a stretch.
