    2026<\/h2>\n

    Wall Street opened 2026 with momentum, as major U.S. indexes extended gains and the Dow rose nearly 1% to fresh record highs. Commodities also surged, led by silver breaking above $80, platinum and palladium posting sharp gains, and gold and copper climbing to new highs.<\/p>\n

    The crypto market also jumped as futures open interest continued to surge this week. Open interest soared to over $145 billion, is the highest point since November 10. It has jumped from the December low of $123 billion. Bitcoin\u2019s (BTC) open interest rose to over $61.8 billion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

      \n
    • Crypto prices also jumped as short liquidations continued soaring. Data shows: <\/li>\n
    • Liquidations soared by 60% to over $434 billion. <\/li>\n
    • Bitcoin\u2019s short liquidations are worth over $186.65 million<\/li>\n
    • Ethereum, XRP, and Solana positions are worth over $84 million, $32 million, and $19 million, respectively.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Still, investors are piling into crypto-related exchange-traded funds, or ETFs. For example, spot Bitcoin ETFs had over $697 million in inflows on Monday, up from $471 million on Friday. Spot Ethereum ETF inflows added over $168 million, while XRP and Solana added $46 million and $16.2 million, respectively.<\/p>\n

      Technicals also explain the crypto market rally<\/h2>\n

      A closer look shows that technicals also explain why the crypto rally is accelerating. The daily chart shows that the Bitcoin price moved from a low of $80,494 in November to the current $94,100.\u00a0<\/p>\n

      Bitcoin has moved above the 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement level. <\/p>\n

      It has also moved above the 50-day moving average, while the Relative Strength Index and the Stochastic oscillator have continued rising. <\/p>\n

      Therefore, Bitcoin\u2019s price may spike if it moves above the $94,492 resistance level. Such a move will boost crypto prices over time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
