Bitcoin Remains Strong Above $90,000 As Golden Cross Signals 41% Rally Ahead

bitcoin-binance main

According to a revelation disclosed today by CryptoQuant market analysts, the Bitcoin Fear and Greed Golden Cross indicates a potential, upcoming bullish momentum on the flagship cryptocurrency. A golden cross, a commonly used chart pattern, happens when Bitcoin’s short-term moving average (e.g., a 50-day simple moving average – SMA) crosses above the long-term moving average (e.g., 200-day SMA), a move that suggests an upcoming long-term bullish trend. This simply shows that Bitcoin’s momentum is changing from bearish to bullish.

Today, the asset’s fear and greed index flipped into greed status as Bitcoin early morning tested the $93,000 level, currently trading at a low of $91,161. Due to its solid performance since the beginning of the new year, which saw the cryptocurrency maintaining its price above the $90k crucial psychological mark, it’s possible that the asset is readying for looming asymmetric upsides.

What This Golden Cross Means 

According to data findings disclosed today by the analyst, Bitcoin’s short-term moving average (30-day MA) has moved above the long-term moving average (90-day MA) for the first time since May 2025. As per the analyst, the short-term moving average’s move to surpass the long-term moving average signifies a change in market psychology, indicating an improving positive sentiment and risk appetite among crypto investors.

However, this emerging excitement behavior is extraordinary as it occurs when the market is still cautious, with volatility remaining high, and enthusiasm is weak (unstable). The main indicator here is not whether sentiment is fearful or greedy, but how it shifts from fear to greed.

This development might appear technical, but historically, such a crossover has triggered huge price gains. Traditionally, every time BTC has formed a golden cross on its longer trading chart, a massive rally emerged. In 2015, the formation of a golden cross caused Bitcoin to experience a big 139% rally. Also, in 2016, the printout of the golden cross brought a massive 2,200 bull run on the BTC price. Again in 2020, the setup of a golden cross pattern caused the asset to witness a 1,190% rally, which enabled it to rise from around $10,000 to almost $70,000.

May 2025 was the last time the Bitcoin market saw this same signal flash when Bitcoin was hovering around the $65k, and consequently later resulted in a surge to over $100k price levels. Today, January 20, 2026, the same technical indicator is flashing. As history suggests, this signal indicates that the asset is preparing for a real move ahead. However, an important point to note is that the golden cross is a lagging indicator, implying that it doesn’t project a rally before it begins; it confirms that the trend is already building strength.

BTCUSDThe current price of Bitcoin is $91,161.

Bitcoin Price Outlook and Prediction 

Today, Bitcoin saw a 2.3% drop, falling from a high of $93,297 to the $91,161 current level. The asset also experiences a 1.3% drop over the past week, further confirming its ongoing consolidative movements. Despite the ongoing dip, BTC’s overall structure still favors the bullish momentum. It’s trading above the $90k level since the beginning of this month, indicating a sustained market appetite. 

The emergence of the golden cross further explains why Bitcoin’s structure still favors the bulls, confirming a change in market momentum just before the asset breaks out from a long-term consolidation move. Following the formation of the golden cross, Bitcoin is likely to experience a surge of almost 41% soon, positioning the asset to hit levels around $ 126,000 in the coming weeks.

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

The post Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Google has announced the launch of a new open-source protocol called Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) in partnership with Coinbase, the Ethereum Foundation, and 60 other organizations. This allows AI agents to make payments on behalf of users using various methods such as real-time bank transfers, credit and debit cards, and, most importantly, stablecoins. Let’s explore in detail what this could mean for the broader cryptocurrency markets, and also highlight a presale crypto (Best Wallet Token) that could explode as a result of this development. Google’s Push for Stablecoins Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) uses digital contracts known as ‘Intent Mandates’ and ‘Verifiable Credentials’ to ensure that AI agents undertake only those payments authorized by the user. Mandates, by the way, are cryptographically signed, tamper-proof digital contracts that act as verifiable proof of a user’s instruction. For example, let’s say you instruct an AI agent to never spend more than $200 in a single transaction. This instruction is written into an Intent Mandate, which serves as a digital contract. Now, whenever the AI agent tries to make a payment, it must present this mandate as proof of authorization, which will then be verified via the AP2 protocol. Alongside this, Google has also launched the A2A x402 extension to accelerate support for the Web3 ecosystem. This production-ready solution enables agent-based crypto payments and will help reshape the growth of cryptocurrency integration within the AP2 protocol. Google’s inclusion of stablecoins in AP2 is a massive vote of confidence in dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies and a huge step toward making them a mainstream payment option. This widens stablecoin usage beyond trading and speculation, positioning them at the center of the consumption economy. The recent enactment of the GENIUS Act in the U.S. gives stablecoins more structure and legal support. Imagine paying for things like data crawls, per-task…
