Since Trump’s election win in November 2024 the entire cryptocurrency market hit new peak values. While past prices have fluctuated widely analysts see Bitcoin price performing better in future market condition. On Jan. 22, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju released a report suggesting Bitcoin might drops soon. Although the current bull market is strong, as shown by flow statistics, large investors need to stay alert.
Market volatility affects leveraged trades. Experts agree these positions can yield large gains but also increase risk. During unstable markets, traders often rush to buy or sell. This rush can lead to account shutdowns. Exchanges may automatically close positions if traders don’t have enough money for leverage. As a result, they can lose their entire investment.

Ju displayed Bitcoin market signals with the PnL Index through the analysis of multiple on-chain indicators at CryptoQuant platform. Current Moving Average data shows Bitcoin price may be entering a new market phase. According to data the future Bitcoin price movement stays up for debate since it could continue moving back and forth or dip after reaching its current point.
Bitcoin Faces Selling Pressure Post-Inauguration
According to CryptoQuant contributor Darkfost Bitcoin took a hit when US President Donald Trump took office on January 20. When President Trump did not speak about Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies during his inauguration it struck panic in investors.
Traders displayed a short-term selling attitude which showed up in negative net taker volume results on Binance. At midnight Binance’s trading volume transformed from negative to positive volume indicating traders were buying again before US markets opened. The market showed stronger confidence which made buyers believe Bitcoin price will reach new highs if this trend keeps going.
Despite recent fluctuations, analysts maintain a positive outlook for Bitcoin’s long-term prospects. A report from Investtech notes that Bitcoin is trading within a horizontal trend channel in the short term, suggesting the price may continue to consolidate within this range.
Bitcoin Exchange Netflows Suggest Accumulation Phase Amid $100K Milestone
Bitcoin’s price has reached $100,000, bringing hope to investors. On-chain indicators suggest buying activity is increasing. Recently, Bitcoin’s exchange netflow statistics have shown negative numbers consistently for months.
Bitcoin investors often move their coins off exchanges, showing strong buying interest. Current on-chain data reveals that these owners expect Bitcoin’s value to rise. By storing their coins away from exchanges, they express confidence in BTC’s future.
Extended withdrawals from exchanges create a supply shortage that pushes Bitcoin prices upward in the market, say analysts. If this behavior continues traders expect Bitcoin prices to move up by January’s end.
Bitcoin Price Analysis
On Jan. 22, Bitcoin (BTC) exchanges at $104,345 which declined from its earlier price point. Following a new all-time high of $109,300 Bitcoin settled at current market levels below $104,000.
The market charts show three key zones that may attract buyers when Bitcoin slides toward $92,000, $87,000, and $74,000. However, resistance is expected at $106,000 followed by the $120,000 psychological level.
Momentum remains balanced while trading trends suggest that buyers should enter the market. Trader confidence grows as investors expect Trump administration rules to boost Bitcoin value with analysts targeting $130,000 by January end.
The market outlook for Bitcoin shows potential growth but investors must watch support and resistance lines plus monitor government action to make safe trading moves.
