Daily Crypto Signals: Global Trade Tensions Rattle Crypto Markets as Bitcoin Hovers Near $100,000

With rising global trade tensions, the market for cryptocurrencies saw great volatility; Bitcoin struggled to keep its position over $100,000 while other big cryptocurrencies showed conflicting performance.

Rising global trade tensions have caused the cryptocurrency market to experience high volatility, with Bitcoin struggling to maintain its position above $100,000 and other major cryptocurrencies displaying contrasting performances.

The direction of the market became evident following recent trade policy statements by U.S. President Donald Trump and subsequent diplomatic talks with key trading partners.

After China and the U.S. announced additional import tariffs, the digital asset market witnessed sharp swings. However, markets found some respite when Trump pledged to delay tariffs on Canada and Mexico, leading to a broad-based recovery across major cryptocurrencies.

This diplomatic breakthrough came after successful talks with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, which resulted in a 30-day halt on the proposed 25% tariffs.

Complementing the market dynamics, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is reportedly examining the securities status of various digital assets and exploring the possibility of “retroactive relief” for past token offerings.

This regulatory development, highlighted by Commissioner Hester Peirce, suggests a potentially more nuanced approach to crypto regulation under the recently established White House Crypto Task Force.

Bitcoin trades below $100,000

Bitcoin's BTC/USD price action saw sharp swings, initially dropping below the $100,000 level before recovering to trade at $101,731.

According to ARK Invest’s “Big Ideas 2025” report, Bitcoin displayed remarkable maturity in 2024, with its annualized realized volatility hitting historic lows below 50%. The launch of U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, which had net assets of over $100 billion by year-end, played a key role in stabilizing the market.

Still, analysts, such as Bitget Research’s Ryan Lee, warn that a drop below $90,000 is possible if global trade tensions escalate.

Ethereum eyes $2,700 support

Ethereum's ETH/USD strong recovery, rising above $2,800 following a three-month low of $2,150, showed resilience.

Yet, market analysts emphasize the critical need for the asset to maintain support at $2,700 to prevent a sharper correction.

Data from CoinGlass showed that a drop below $2,650 could trigger over $1 billion in leveraged long liquidations.

Despite the temporary volatility, industry figures remain optimistic about the cryptocurrency's fundamental value, citing Ethereum’s strong ecosystem development and remarkable daily transaction volume on layer-2 networks.

XRP fiyatı teknik olarak zorlanıyor

XRP'nin XRP/USD düşük seviyesi olan 1,78 dolardan 2,50 dolara toparlanmasına rağmen teknik olarak zorluk yaşıyor. Varlık, günlük ve haftalık grafiklerde, aşağı yönlü riski gösteren ayı piyasası sapması sergiliyor.

Analistlere göre XRP, olumsuz durumu çürütmek ve 2 dolarda başlayabilecek yüzde 23'lük bir düşüşü önlemek için günlük kapanışlarda 2,90 doların üzerinde kalmalı.

Fiyat hareketleriyle genel kripto piyasası duyarlılığıyla yakından bağlantılı olan token, son performansı daha geniş piyasa belirsizliğini yansıtıyor.

Solana yükselişe hazırlanıyor

Güçlü toparlanma ivmesi, Solana'nın SOL/USD 22'lik bir artışla 180 dolarlık destek seviyesinden 215 dolara sıçramasına yardımcı oldu.

SOL, 19 Ocak'taki tüm zamanların en yüksek seviyesinin yüzde 27 altında işlem görmesine rağmen ekosistem metrikleri güçlü kaldı. Ağın aktif DApp adresleri, bir önceki aya göre yüzde 21 arttı ve toplam kilitli değer (TVL) yüzde 5,5 yükseldi.

Solana'nın 246 milyon dolarlık ücret gelirinin Ethereum'un 133 milyon dolarını aştığı göz önüne alındığında, ağın oyun, staking ve merkezi olmayan finans (DeFi) uygulamaları gibi alanlarda artan benimsenmesi açıkça görülüyor.
