VanEck's research director Matthew Sigel analyzed in a post on the X platform that the current protective demand in the Bitcoin derivatives market has risen to the historical 99th percentile, which is typically seen as a "contrarian buy signal" under extreme risk-averse market sentiment, and he judges that the market is currently suitable for establishing long positions.The VanEck Digital Transformation ETF (NODE), which Matthew Sigel also manages, has risen 27% since its inception, while Bitcoin has fallen 33% during the same period, achieving lower volatility performance through diversified allocation and focusing on profitable sectors. However, he also warns that if the massive capital expenditures in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector do not generate corresponding returns, it could pose substantial pressure on the market, especially in the context of a concentration in S&P 500 constituents.Note: Percentile is a statistical position concept, with the 99th percentile representing a relatively extreme level, and the 50th percentile representing the median level.

According to CoinDesk, as of 1 AM, the number of long positions in BTC/USD on the Bitfinex exchange has surged to 79,343, reaching a 28-month high since November 2023.Historical data indicates that the surge in long positions on this platform has often served as a contrarian indicator, typically signaling price tops and impending sell-offs. For example, in the fourth quarter of 2025, while the number of BTC/USD longs increased by 30%, the spot price of Bitcoin fell by 23%.Currently, this extreme bullish sentiment indicator has once again raised a red flag. Coupled with geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic pressures, market analysts believe that Bitcoin's consolidation in the $65,000 to $75,000 range may end with a downward breakout, deepening the downtrend that began from last year's peak.

In addition, this address is still building a long position in ETH, with a size of 1.69 million USD and an average price of 2,067 USD. As of the time of writing, both positions are still being increased.

According to Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy Research, the U.S. Treasury submitted a report to Congress under the GENIUS Act, recommending that DeFi should explicitly bear anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CFT) obligations, and consider establishing a "hold law" safe harbor mechanism for digital assets, allowing institutions to temporarily freeze assets during investigations of suspicious transactions without a court order.The report also revealed that the scale of crypto crime continues to grow, with losses from crypto scams recorded by the FBI reaching $9 billion in 2024.

glassnode's weekly market report indicates that the price of Bitcoin rebounded from $60,000 to $69,000. However, while spot trading volume has increased, it remains at a low level, showing that selling pressure has eased but buyer participation is cautious. This reflects a market that is frequently changing hands after a downward revaluation, rather than decisively accumulating.Over-the-counter indicators show that futures and options positions are defensively strong, with ETF trading volume surging to a high of $45.5 billion, yet accompanied by a slowdown in capital outflows, resulting in overall low risk appetite. On-chain fundamental activity has strengthened, but capital inflows are negative and unrealized losses dominate supply. Overall, the market's sustained recovery may depend on the restoration of spot demand, which would stabilize prices above recent lows.

According to Cointelegraph, the Bitcoin market sentiment index has fallen to an all-time low, with some contrarian investors believing that $60,000 may have become the bottom of this cycle.Data shows that the cryptocurrency fear and greed index dropped to a historical low of 7 over the weekend, indicating that the market is in a state of "extreme fear." Michaël van de Poppe, founder of MN Capital, pointed out that this indicator, along with the relative strength index, shows that the market is deeply oversold, a similar situation occurred during the 2018 bear market and the pandemic crash in March 2020, which may create conditions for a rebound.CoinGlass's liquidation heatmap shows that if the Bitcoin price rises by about $10,000, it could trigger the liquidation of over $5.45 billion in short positions, while a drop to $60,000 would only trigger $2.4 billion in liquidations. This imbalance may drive a short covering rally. However, structural risks in the market still exist.CryptoQuant data shows that Bitcoin is still far below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, with a price Z-score of -1.6, indicating that it remains in a phase dominated by selling pressure. The net buying volume in the derivatives market has turned negative, and the Binance buy-sell ratio has also fallen below 1, showing strong selling pressure in the futures market.Analysts point out that stronger spot demand is needed to trigger a sustained rebound. From a longer-term perspective, historical data shows that Bitcoin bear market bottoms typically form below the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level, which is currently around $57,000. If history repeats itself, the downside scenario could extend to $42,000.

Trader Eugene Ng Ah Sio posted on his personal channel, "I don't quite understand the latest price movements this week, so I plan to wait and see for a while. From a higher time frame (HTF) perspective, the pattern doesn't look ideal, and my judgment is that the price is likely to go lower.I originally hoped that the new year would bring enough momentum to push the price above $100,000 and catch up with other risk assets, but it now seems that this is unlikely to happen.Temporarily stepping back from all markets, returning to real life, and once again 'touching grass'."

According to The Block, concerns about a potential trade war between the U.S. and the EU will further impact the already fragile market sentiment. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the entire crypto market plummeted in the early hours, with Bitcoin briefly falling below $92,000, dropping over 3% at one point. In the past 4 hours, the amount of long liquidations has exceeded $750 million, and analysts attribute this sharp decline to market worries about the prospects of a U.S.-EU tariff war.Presto Research analyst Min Jung stated, "The crypto market still appears weak compared to other asset classes. Although concerns about the U.S.-EU trade war have the greatest impact on market sentiment, other risk assets, including the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI), have remained flat or even risen. This indicates that there are significant inherent weaknesses in the crypto market, with investors more inclined to allocate to other risk assets. In the context of most markets rising, crypto assets remain the underperformers."
