It gained $8,000 in the span of just a few days and reached a multi-week high of $98,000 on Wednesday evening. When the bulls began preparing for a charge toward $100,000, the landscape shifted, and BTC slipped by a few grand in the following days.<\/p>\n<p>It spent the weekend trading quietly around $95,000, but volatility was expected on Monday morning as futures and Asian markets opened following the latest shots <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/trump-imposes-new-tariffs-against-these-eu-nations-over-greenland-will-btc-collapse-again\/\">fired<\/a> between the US and the EU. Those fluctuations indeed <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/crypto-markets-shed-over-100b-as-these-alts-plunge-by-double-digits-market-watch\/\">transpired<\/a> and drove BTC south from $95,500 to under $92,000.<\/p>\n<p>The asset recovered some ground mid-day but <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/why-is-the-bitcoin-price-down-today-january-20th-2026\/\">dropped<\/a> once again on Tuesday morning, this time to a weekly low of under $91,000. It currently struggles around that level, as its market cap has slipped below $1.820 trillion. Its dominance over the alts stands tall at 57.5% on CG.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1426399\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1426399\" style=\"width: 1835px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/BTCUSD-Jan-20-1.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1426399\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BTCUSD Jan 20.
