Bitcoin eyes $94,000 as crypto prices manage early U.S. gains for second straight session
Bitcoin rallied toward $94,000, marking the second straight session of early U.S. gains amid renewed risk asset interest.Summary
Cryptocurrency prices started the first Monday of the year strongly, with Bitcoin rallying nearly 1% during U.S. trading to approach $94,000, up 3% over 24 hours. This strength follows a pattern of crypto gaining during U.S. hours for the second consecutive session, reversing a late 2025 trend where the sector pulled back.
The rebound is supported by the Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index climbing sharply, signaling a return of U.S. demand after hitting a nine-month low on January 1st when Bitcoin traded near $88,000. According to Jake Ostrovskis of Wintermute, $95,000 remains a key resistance level, and confirmation during the U.S. session is needed to reject the prior pattern of U.S. selling.
Additionally, digital asset treasury companies (DATs), which were poor performers in late 2025, saw outsized gains, with firms like Strive and American Bitcoin reporting significant BTC purchases and corresponding stock price increases.
