Bitcoin price clings to $90,000 after ETF outflows as crypto stocks brace for Monday

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 12:44 EST — Market closed Bitcoin dipped closer to $90,000 on Saturday, continuing a volatile retreat following two days of heavy outflows from U.S.-listed spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds, a crucial indicator of institutional appetite. The moves matter as crypto enters a fresh week facing both a macro challenge and a positioning hurdle. Investors have been quick to withdraw cash from bitcoin funds, even while interest-rate traders weigh U.S. labor data that bolstered bets on the Fed maintaining a cautious stance on further cuts.

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 12:45 EST — Market closed XRP dropped roughly 1.4% in the last 24 hours, slipping to $2.09 on Saturday.
