BTC had a better weekend at the time and was already close to $91,500 when the bulls took control and pushed it to nearly $95,000 on Tuesday morning. However, the bears were quick to intercept the move and didn&#8217;t allow another rally, possibly to $100,000.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, bitcoin started to lose value rapidly and found itself dipping below $89,500 by Thursday. It <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-maintains-90k-despite-rising-geopolitical-tension-morgan-stanley-enters-crypto-etf-race-weekly-recap\/\">bounced off<\/a> on Friday and was stopped again at $92,000. The weekend was highly uneventful, with bitcoin <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/top-crypto-gainers-and-losers-this-week-as-btc-stalls-at-90k-weekend-watch\/\">spending<\/a> it sideways between $90,000 and $91,000.<\/p>\n<p>The first signs of a potential breakout arrived on Monday morning when BTC jumped to $92,400 amid growing tension between US President Trump and Fed Chair Powell. However, that was another fakeout, and bitcoin is now back at $90,600.<\/p>\n<p>Its market capitalization remains sluggish at $1.810 trillion, while its dominance over the alts is still at 56.9% on CG.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1425679\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1425679\" style=\"width: 1835px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/BTCUSD-Jan-12.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1425679\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BTCUSD Jan 12.
