Crypto analyst TARA has predicted that the Bitcoin price will still rally 
despite bearish signals that have surfaced. She highlighted why the flagship 
crypto could reach this level and what could happen once it touches the price 
target. Analyst Predicts Bitcoin Price Surge To $99,000 In an X post, TARA 
opined that the Bitcoin price will reach $99,300, even though the flagship 
crypto is printing a bearish candlestick. She stated that BTC wants to touch 
this price target before it retraces deeper so that the correction does not 
break the critical support at $90,000. The analyst added that retracement 
levels for BTC will continue to be adjusted, with the new 2026 high above 
$97,000, while revealing subwaves on the way to the full target at $103,000.

Bitcoin – Here’s What To Know Notably, crypto traders are currently betting on 
the Bitcoin price rallying past the $99,000 level and reaching the 
psychological $100,000 level. Polymarket data shows a 48% chance that BTC will 
rally to $100,000 this month. This follows the flagship crypto’s recent rally 
from around $92,000 to above $97,000 following the release of the soft CPI 
inflation data earlier this week. The spot Bitcoin ETFs have also contributed 
to the Bitcoin price surge to start the year. In an X post, Bloomberg analyst 
Eric Balchunas highlighted that ETFs recorded net inflows of $843 million on 
January 14 and now boast 1-week net inflows of $1 billion and $1.5 billion 
year-to-date (YTD). With BTC rallying to $97,000 after trading sideways 
towards the end of last year, Balchunas opined that the buyers may have 
exhausted the sellers. Arthur Hayes Predicts Bitcoin Rally On Rising Liquidity 
In his latest blog post, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes predicted that the 
Bitcoin price could sustain this rally as dollar liquidity rapidly increases. 
Hayes expects dollar liquidity to increase as U.S. President Donald Trump 
finds more ways to inject liquidity into the economy. The BitMEX co-founder 
highlighted how Trump plans to lower mortgage rates, which could cause 
Americans to borrow more. Related Reading: What’s Going On With Bitcoin And 
The Stock Market? Analyst Breaks It Down Hayes also mentioned that the 
liquidity in 2025 didn’t support crypto portfolios, which is why the Bitcoin 
price underperformed. He urged market participants not to draw wrong 
conclusions from the 2025 underperformance, as it was always a liquidity story 
rather than a cyclical bear market, as some analysts suggested. More liquidity 
could also flow into the market as Trump nominates a rate-cut advocate to 
replace Fed Chair Jerome Powell. This could lead to larger rate cuts, which 
would be bullish for the Bitcoin price and the broader crypto market. At the 
time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $95,300, down in the 
last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from
