$BTC Update – Quick Take

TOTALES.D is still sitting right at the major resistance that has been controlling the market for almost two years. What’s interesting now is that we’re getting a third weekly close inside this zone without any strong rejection. Sellers are not able to push it down, and buyers are still holding the level a clear standoff.

For Bitcoin to truly open the upside, this level must be reclaimed on the 3D or 1W timeframe. Without that, downside risk always remains on the table.

But the positive part is: the price hasn’t reacted aggressively to the downside even after sitting at resistance for weeks. This shows there’s still buying strength here. If bulls manage to push slightly higher and flip this zone into support, it could be a big shift, because last time this was flipped into support was in Oct 2023 and the market held above it for 2 years.

So overall:
As long as TOTALES.D holds this zone without major weakness, a bullish reclaim is still possible but we need confirmation before celebrating.

Reason behind today’s dump

Markets are already pricing in the expected Bank of Japan rate hike on Dec 18–19. There’s also growing expectation that BOJ will continue tightening into 2026. Last time Japan raised rates, we saw heavy unwinding of yen carry trades, which hit Bitcoin and crypto hard. This sell-off looks like a pre-emptive risk-off move based on that same macro fear.

Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, is approaching 1% ownership of all Bitcoin ever to exist.
The message is clear:
“The Bitcoin hoarding will continue until the complaining stops.”

$BTCDOM UPDATE

$BTCDOM is still trading within the same resistance range. For the first time in nearly three months, we’ve now seen three consecutive daily closes inside this resistance zone. This is not a very healthy sign for the altcoin market, as prolonged consolidation near resistance increases the probability of a decisive move.

A descending trendline is clearly visible on the chart. So far, there has been no clean daily candle close above this trendline, which makes today’s close particularly important.

Key Levels to Watch
• A daily close above resistance and fully above the descending trendline would confirm a breakout in BTC dominance, likely adding pressure on altcoins.
• A daily close below ~46.80% would be a relatively positive sign for alts, indicating rejection from resistance.

Market View
$BTCDOM is still at resistance, so no breakout is confirmed yet. However, the longer we consolidate here, the higher the breakout risk becomes.

There is no need to panic if you are holding long positions. Positioning into longs still makes sense, but avoid overexposure and keep risk controlled. Let the daily close guide the next move.

$BTC UPDATE – FOMC RECAP

Fed held rates at 3.5%–3.75% as expected. Powell stayed neutral, stressing a “wait and see” approach and no commitment to March or June cuts. Policy is now described as “loosely neutral,” keeping markets rangebound.

There were two dissents (down from three in December), but Powell emphasized broad support for holding rates. Inflation remains sticky (core PCE ~3.0%), while the labor market is stabilizing, leaving the Fed in no rush to move.

$BTC briefly tagged ~$90,340 but still has no confirmed 4H close above $90K. That level remains the key trigger. Until then, sideways action likely into the Feb 6
