【Blockchain Rhythm】Bitcoin briefly touched $96,000 on January 14th, and has gained nearly 10% since 2026. The main driving force behind this rebound is the North American trading session. According to trading data, Bitcoin's cumulative return during the North American session reached approximately 8%, significantly exceeding expectations. In comparison, the European trading session only saw about a 3% increase, while the Asian session was a drag; this regional performance divergence is worth noting.
Interestingly, this is completely opposite to the situation at the end of 2025. At that time, Bitcoin had a cumulative decline of 20% in the North American trading session by the end of November, dropping close to $80,000. Throughout the fourth quarter, there was selling pressure at the US market open, and spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced almost daily net outflows. Now, the situation has reversed — shortly after the US market opens, it becomes the time with the strongest gains, which coincides with the worst-performing period over the past six months.

The article discusses the similarities between the price movements of gold and Bitcoin (BTC), suggesting that both are dominated by supply and demand dynamics. After 2022, gold demand surged significantly, but prices rose slowly because existing holders sold to meet the demand. The situation with BTC is similar; ETF demand has long exceeded new supply, and the reason prices haven't skyrocketed is still due to reliance on existing holders selling. If demand persists, selling pressure will be exhausted, and prices will inevitably rise significantly.
