January 5, 2026 – The broader cryptocurrency market has gained traction as 2026 gets underway, with Bitcoin and major altcoins rebounding sharply from late-2025’s deep pullback. Bitcoin, which fell 6% cumulatively in the final stretch of 2025 and missed expectations tied to the traditional “four-year cycle,” reclaimed the key psychological level of $90,000 on January 4. Analysts note the $88,000 range emerged as strong support amid thin liquidity during the holiday season, while inflows into spot ETFs have shifted market sentiment from “panic” to “cautious optimism.” As of early Monday, Bitcoin traded above $92,000, with its 100-hour moving average holding a bullish structure.

As of Jan. 5, data from Coinglass shows that if Bitcoin breaks above $94,000, cumulative short liquidation intensity across major centralized exchanges (CEXs) will hit $465 million. Conversely, if Bitcoin falls below $91,000, cumulative long liquidation intensity for these same CEXs will reach $621 million. BlockBeats Note: Liquidation charts do not display the exact number or total value of contracts being liquidated. Instead, the bars represent how significant each liquidation cluster is relative to nearby clusters—i.e., "intensity." This means the chart indicates how strongly the underlying asset’s price will react when it hits a specific level. A taller "liquidation bar" signals a more intense price response due to a liquidity cascade at that level.
