  • Bitcoin Slides Below Key Support Amid Dollar Strength and Market Fear
    January 31, 2026, 1:56 PM EST. Bitcoin broke below a crucial support level near $83,400, dropping over 9% in a week to trade around $81,200, according to Glassnode onchain data. This decline may lead to further losses toward $80,700, the True Market Mean. The broader crypto market lost 12.4%, triggering the Crypto Fear & Greed Index to signal extreme fear. Despite this, short-term holders at a loss remain under 20%, indicating some resilience. Meanwhile, derivatives markets show cautious speculative sentiment with an increased demand for downside protection, raising the risk of volatility spikes. Crypto analytics firm Santiment notes that extreme bearish sentiment often precedes price recoveries. Bitwise's CIO sees crypto nearing the late stages of a bear-market bottom, suggesting the current negative mood could be temporary.
