A good time to check in on Bitcoin price action, and already new executive orders to start the chaotic New Year. Welcome.
We are still far from last year's highs. Expect extreme volatility due to the current administration's corporatocratic moves around Weapons manufacturers(see recent EO), Grok(Mil defense contract) and foreign policy wars with Greenland, Columbia, Mexico and Canada in coming days to months.
Some nations are still awaiting their social-media prompted conflict with the president, but following a predictable pattern, we expect extreme decision-making and maximum chaos in financial markets, as a resounding reflection of the world's rhythm of captivity and shock.
Bitcoin traded within a range of approximately $87,500 to $96,900 over the past two weeks, milder and warmer than in fear-driven months ending 2025. The period featured a consolidation phase, with the price finding a low near $89,500. A rally of over four percent commenced, allowing the asset to break above key technical resistance.
The price action concluded near the higher end of the two-week range, with increased trading volume accompanying the rally days. A higher range is expected to kick in after a bearish period that is expected to be short.
$PEPE, $XMR, $BNB and others are found winners in the present-day rally on January 14th 2026.
This upward movement coincided with observable developments in market structure, including activity in stablecoin minting and a shift in exchange-traded fund flows. Iran's Rial absolute currency collapse is not expected to effect USD, but a rise in mistrust toward stables and fiat is solidified in coming arduous period of war. Though Bitcoin's price is unlikely to be swayed by this event, Americans are hearing of it, as are other country's populations. Is a decline in their home-land currency possible? Might be a question they are asking themselves in 2026.
Israel and Palestine conflict expected to give rise to more war with bordering nations, leading to a more aggressive US stance toward its allies in the Middle-East. Greenland's invasion and Venezuela's invasion will likely shake the dollar's standing completely as NATO dissolves. Why? Captivity and shock. Leadership that espouses admiration and honor, even in appearance, will seem like Gold compared to the US's broad, strong-armed and uneven hand in all respective activities of governmental and financial leadership. Credit ratings will tumble with Fed prosecutions.
Broadly speaking, a range of $110k is reasonable in next 3 months of chaos with rapid and sudden cooling of several percent due to chaotic and unexpected events. Barring further market manipulation by exchanges as we've seen last year, it should be a warmer period, but not by much.
Bitcoin's case becomes stronger each day as a neutral party to a circus of chaos in the West.
