PANews January 11 News, Crypto analyst Willy Woo wrote that he is optimistic about Bitcoin’s performance from late January to February, but currently bearish on 2026.
Willy Woo stated: “The internal investor capital flow model predicts that Bitcoin bottomed on December 24 and has been steadily strengthening since then. Usually, it takes 2-3 weeks for this to be reflected in the price, and it can be said that this is happening now (just suppressed by short-term overbought technical indicators). Another positive factor is that the liquidity of fiat currency (futures market) is recovering after months of stagnation, similar to mid-2021, which led to the second top of the previous cycle. Therefore, the resistance level of -@E1@ USD needs to be defended. If this resistance is broken, the next step is to observe the resistance at ATH.
However, I remain bearish on 2026 because, from a macro perspective, since January 2025, liquidity relative to price momentum has been weakening. We are currently in the final stage of a hot zone, where momentum lacks sufficient liquidity support. If in the coming months a large influx of spot (long-term) liquidity breaks the downtrend, my view will change. It is worth noting that a bear market has not yet been confirmed, and confirmation would manifest as continued outflow of Bitcoin funds (a lagging indicator of cycle top).”

Analysis: The bears are not enough to quickly "break 6 and see 5" for BTC. The $64,500 support will be reaffirmed after the US stock market opens.
Bitcoin analyst Murphy pointed out that when the price approaches the historical average turnover cost of $64,500, market sentiment reaches a limit. Recently, Bitcoin has repeatedly fallen below this cost line but quickly rebounded, indicating strong bullish resistance. As the focus shifts from US-Iran geopolitical conflicts, it is expected to have a significant impact on crude oil prices, and in the short term, the bearish forces are insufficient to quickly push prices down.

When it comes to crazy investing, Koreans are serious. The Korean stock market's historic surge that began in the first half of last year has proven this once again.
As of the end of February 2026, the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) has risen nearly 50% this year, making it the world's top-performing stock market.
On February 25, the KOSPI broke through 6,000 points for the first time during trading; the next day, it closed above 6,300 points for the first time, with 10 out of the last 11 trading days recording gains, continuously hitting new highs. On February 28, Samsung Electronics' market value surpassed the $1 trillion mark, becoming the first Korean company to join the "trillion-dollar club."
As the founder of the on-chain data analysis platform CryptoQuant said, "We Koreans love gambling. Don't underestimate this country."

The escalation of Middle East conflicts has triggered capital transfers, with XRP inflows to trading platforms exceeding $650 million in one week. Short-term selling pressure may intensify.
As geopolitical tensions between the United States, Israel, and Iran escalate, market concern over short-term selling pressure on XRP increases, with approximately 472 million XRP recently flowing into trading platforms. Analysis indicates that although this inflow is the largest since February, it does not necessarily lead to immediate selling, possibly related to liquidity management and defensive positioning. Market sentiment may fluctuate more intensely due to geopolitical risks.
