Bitcoin’s $97K Snooze: Trump’s Drama Fails to Wake It Up 😴💤

by

Bitcoin hit the snooze button at $97,000, despite a whopping $843 million in ETF inflows and institutional investors practically throwing money at it. 🤑💸

Politics: The Ultimate Party Pooper 🎉🚫

After a three-day winning streak that made it look like Bitcoin was on a sugar high, it suddenly decided to take a nap on Thursday, peaking just above $97,000. Even Trump’s dramatic Insurrection Act threat-which, let’s be honest, was more soap opera than policy move-couldn’t jolt it awake. 🥱 Meanwhile, the DOJ’s subpoena of the Fed last time had Bitcoin rallying like it was Black Friday. This time? Crickets. 🦗

So, instead of a “flight to safety” (aka the crypto version of a panic room), Bitcoin took a nosedive to $95,411. Because apparently, even digital gold needs a spa day. 🧖♂️✨

Here’s the kicker: Institutional demand is hotter than a Kardashian Instagram post, with U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs raking in $843.6 million on Jan. 14. But did Bitcoin care? Nope. It just yawned and stayed put, refusing to budge past $97,797. 🤷♀️

Analysts are calling this week’s earlier rally a “perfect storm”-$754 million in inflows plus a Supreme Court shrug on Trump’s tariffs = a 5% jump. But now? Bitcoin’s like, “Nah, I’m good.” 😎

And let’s not forget the Fed’s independence drama, which has everyone clutching their pearls. Critics say Trump’s attacks are turning the Fed into the financial world’s version of a reality TV star-all drama, no credibility. 🍿

Will Bitcoin Hit $100K? The Plot Thickens… 📈🤔

Despite the current snooze fest, B2BINPAY’s analysts are like, “Chill, it’s just a nap.” As long as Bitcoin stays above $95,000, they say it’s still bullish. Their crystal ball predicts a $100,000-$105,000 party soon, with a potential $140,000 rave in 2026 if the vibe holds. 🎉 But if it dips below $95,000? Expect a pullback to $88,000-$90,000, where the buyers are waiting with open wallets. 🛍️

“Bitcoin’s just catching its breath after its mid-November 2025 flatline,” B2BINPAY quipped. “No wild chart action? Healthy. It’s basically stretching before the $100,000 marathon.” 🏃♂️💨

Oh, and funding rates? Not extreme. Open interest? Chillin’ at $65 billion. So, no, the market’s not on a caffeine overdose. Yet. ☕
