He explained that the recent slowdown is mostly the market catching up after prices surged ahead of the spot Bitcoin ETF adoption story, not a flaw in Bitcoin\u2019s long-term outlook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople focus on one red candle and forget the bigger picture,\u201d Balchunas wrote on X, highlighting Bitcoin\u2019s dominance before and after BlackRock filed for a spot BTC ETF in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite short-term pullbacks below $90,000 and resistance near $92,000, broader risk-off factors like U.S. monetary uncertainty and derivatives liquidations are weighing on BTC. Balchunas emphasized that ongoing narratives \u2014 debt growth, currency debasement, and gradual institutional adoption \u2014 still support long-term confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zooming out, analysts argue that the current lull is a natural pause after an aggressive run, not a breakdown. Bitcoin\u2019s dominance of around 57% also shows altcoins have not meaningfully outperformed during this period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin (BTC) is trading near $90,000 on January 28, 2026, after a few volatile sessions that have made some traders uneasy.
