BNB price is starting to show clearer signs of weakness after failing to 
sustain higher prices at the VAH. The recent move higher appeared impulsive at 
first, but rejection from VAH has now disrupted the high-low projection and 
shifted short-term momentum toward a corrective phase.

Bitcoin slid to $91,920 late Sunday in New York, down 3.8% from roughly 
$95,500, as a sharp risk-off impulse hit crypto markets and quickly bled into 
high beta majors. Ether fell as much as 5.3% to $3,177, while XRP and Solana 
underperformed with drawdowns of 10.4% to $1.847 and 9% to $130, respectively, 
as leveraged positioning was forced out. Why Is Bitcoin And Crypto Down Today? 
The immediate catalyst was a geopolitics-to-trade headline that landed into a 
weekend liquidity window: President Donald Trump said the US would impose 
additional 10% tariffs on imports from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, 
Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland starting Feb. 1, escalating to 
25% on June 1 unless a deal is reached for the US to acquire Greenland.

Off Again — What To Know European officials framed the move as coercive and 
signaled a coordinated response. Dutch Foreign Minister David van Weel called 
the threat “blackmail,” adding: “It’s not necessary. It doesn’t help the 
alliance (NATO).” The targeted countries, many of them NATO allies, issued a 
stark pushback warning that tariff threats “undermine transatlantic relations 
and risk a dangerous downward spiral,” while EU representatives convened 
emergency talks over potential retaliation. France&#8217;s President Macron

January 18, 2026 For Bitcoin and the entire crypto market, the significance 
isn’t the tariff math in isolation; it’s the abrupt repricing of global growth 
and policy risk. When macro traders de-risk into headlines like this, liquid 
markets tend to transmit the shock first and crypto, with its 24/7 structure 
and deep derivatives footprint, often becomes the pressure valve. On-chain and 
venue-level indicators suggested the sell pressure was not simply offshore 
flow. CryptoQuant analyst Mignolet pointed to an elevated “CPG” (Coinbase 
Premium Gap), a metric tracking the price differential between Coinbase’s USD 
market and Binance’s USDT market that is often read as a proxy for US-led 
demand or supply. “We’re seeing the strongest selling premium (CPG) in recent 
periods. Since the ETF market was not open at the time, this selling pressure 
is coming from US whales operating outside of ETFs. It’s one of the 
traditional selling patterns we’ve seen repeatedly in the past,” Mignolet 
wrote in a CryptoQuant note. That framing matters because it implies the move 
wasn’t driven by ETF creations/redemptions, so the marginal seller was active 
in spot/OTC and derivatives channels that remain open through the weekend.

Ahead Once spot price slipped through key levels, futures mechanics did the 
rest. Coinglass data showed 249.422 traders were liquidated, the total 
liquidations coming in at $874.93 million over the past 24 hours. Longs 
accounted for $787.92 million versus $87.01 million in shorts, an asymmetric 
wipeout that typically reflects crowded long exposure being force-closed into 
falling prices. At press time, Bitcoin recovered to $93,000. Featured image
