Data from TradingView showed Bitcoin (BTC) trading around $87,471 on Bitstamp into Sunday’s weekly close as markets braced for a busy macro week. Short-term selling pressure pushed BTC to multiday lows amid broad uncertainty about upcoming U.S. political and economic developments.
Long positions made up the bulk of 24-hour crypto liquidations, which surpassed $250 million, according to CoinGlass. A social post from The Kobeissi Letter highlighted rapid liquidations and noted other macro factors adding to market nerves.
The same account warned traders to “Buckle up for a huge week ahead,” pointing to U.S. political risks, tariff rhetoric and economic reports in a separate post linked here. The Federal Reserve decision due Jan. 28 was also cited; market pricing was monitored via the CME Group’s FedWatch Tool.
Technically, trader CrypNuevo said “Now, price is currently losing the mid-range which is a bearish sign for continuation to the downside, to the range lows,” and warned that “Any short-lived pump this week is a potential short opportunity.” Another account flagged a marked rise in open interest ahead of the macro calendar in a post by Byzantine General, noting “That’s a serious open interest increase… On a Sunday… Right before we have a lot of major macro events…”
On the upside, analyst Michaël van de Poppe pointed to a possible three-day bullish divergence between BTC and silver, writing “For the first time in the history, $BTC might print a bullish divergence against Silver on the 3-Day Timeframe.” He suggested this could signal volatile trading and potential rotation if silver peaks.
