Bitcoin Hits Over 2-Month Low

2026-01-30 03:34 By Czyrill Jean Coloma 1 min. read

Bitcoin fell 2.8% to $82,159 in late January, marking its lowest level since November 21, 2025, dragged down by a combination of sustained ETF outflows and subdued market sentiment.

Over five consecutive trading days, from January 20–26, Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded net outflows of $1.14 billion, the largest weekly exodus since early January.

The outflows were heavily concentrated in Fidelity’s FBTC, Grayscale’s GBTC, BlackRock’s IBIT, and Ark 21Shares’ ARKB, which made up about 92% of total redemptions.

Notably, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, the largest Bitcoin ETF and one of the most successful fund launches ever, has now fallen behind the firm’s Gold ETF in total assets.

Moreover, market sentiment remained subdued amid geopolitical uncertainties, including rare-earth tariff tensions and lingering questions over Fed policy.

As a result, traditional safe-haven assets like gold and silver have gained interest, while riskier holdings such as Bitcoin face increased selling pressure.

Bitcoin Hits 3-Month Low
Bitcoin fell below $73,500, reaching its lowest level since mid-August, as hotter-than-expected US inflation strengthened expectations of further interest rate hikes and weighed on demand for riskier assets. The decline brings its losses for the year to around 16%. US core consumer prices rose 0.3% month-on-month in October, exceeding market expectations, while headline inflation accelerated to 0.4%. Ahead of the inflation release, Fed Governor Christopher Waller had signaled that a 50 basis point rate increase in December should be considered if core inflation came in at 0.3% or higher. Meanwhile, Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan indicated after the release that a faster pace of rate hikes may be possible. Markets subsequently increased bets on further rate hikes through mid-2027. This drove Treasury yields and the US dollar higher, adding to pressure on cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin Hits 8-Week Low
Bitcoin fell below $76,600 on Thursday, reaching its lowest level in around eight weeks as a sharp selloff in technology stocks spread to other risk-sensitive assets, further weakening sentiment across cryptocurrency markets. The Nasdaq 100 plunged, led by semiconductor companies facing disappointing earnings outlooks and concerns that Democratic control of Congress could bring tighter regulation of the artificial intelligence industry. These developments have increased investor caution towards technology-related investments, spilling over into digital assets. Meanwhile, cryptocurrencies are already facing industry-specific headwinds, including the fallout from the Binance hack and fading retail investor interest. The renewed volatility in technology shares has added to these pressures, offsetting the potential support from easing US Treasury yields, which would normally improve the appeal of speculative assets.
