Instead, broader market uncertainty and a general decline in risk appetite appear to be the primary drivers. Ophelia Snyder, co-founder of 21Shares, believes these conditions may prevent Bitcoin from repeating the strong upward momentum it achieved at the start of 2025. Even so, she maintains a constructive outlook for the long term.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_71 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/could-bitcoin-ignite-a-new-rally-in-january-2026\/#The_January_Effect_and_ETF_Inflows\" title=\"The January Effect and ETF Inflows\">The January Effect and ETF Inflows<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/could-bitcoin-ignite-a-new-rally-in-january-2026\/#A_Correction_Driven_by_Global_Market_Stress\" title=\"A Correction Driven by Global Market Stress\">A Correction Driven by Global Market Stress<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/could-bitcoin-ignite-a-new-rally-in-january-2026\/#Factors_That_Could_Shape_Bitcoins_Next_Move\" title=\"Factors That Could Shape Bitcoin\u2019s Next Move\">Factors That Could Shape Bitcoin\u2019s Next Move<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 data-start=\"787\" data-end=\"826\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_January_Effect_and_ETF_Inflows\"><\/span>The January Effect and ETF Inflows<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"827\" data-end=\"1293\">Snyder highlights that January has historically been a favorable month for Bitcoin, often marked by renewed investor activity. Many market participants rebalance their portfolios at the beginning of the year, which typically results in fresh inflows into Bitcoin exchange-traded funds. This pattern contributed to the asset\u2019s powerful rally in early 2025. Yet the currently subdued sentiment raises questions about whether the same dynamic will unfold in early 2026.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1295\" data-end=\"1651\">Bitcoin climbed to 109,000 dollars in early 2025, driven in part by geopolitical expectations. It later set a new high of 125,100 dollars in October. However, the substantial 19 billion dollar liquidation event on October 10 triggered a sharp downturn and shifted short-term expectations considerably. At the moment, Bitcoin is trading near 92,150 dollars.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1295\" data-end=\"1651\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-185933 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/coinmuhendisi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/bitcoin.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1479\" height=\"756\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1653\" data-end=\"1701\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Correction_Driven_by_Global_Market_Stress\"><\/span>A Correction Driven by Global Market Stress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1702\" data-end=\"2116\">Snyder emphasizes that the recent pullback should not be viewed as a crypto-specific setback. She describes it as a reaction to a broader risk-off environment affecting global financial markets. For that reason, she sees the correction as part of a larger macro adjustment rather than a sign of structural weakness within the crypto ecosystem. This perspective informs her increasingly optimistic long-term stance.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2118\" data-end=\"2167\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Factors_That_Could_Shape_Bitcoins_Next_Move\"><\/span>Factors That Could Shape Bitcoin\u2019s Next Move<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2168\" data-end=\"2526\">Several elements could support another period of outperformance. Snyder points to the expansion of crypto ETFs, growing interest from governments and institutions, and a rising demand for alternative stores of value beyond gold. Conversely, persistent risk aversion in traditional markets or continued strength in gold could limit Bitcoin\u2019s upward potential.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2528\" data-end=\"2816\">Still, not all industry voices share the same caution. BitMine chairman Tom Lee recently suggested that Bitcoin could set a new all-time high before January 2026 comes to a close. Historical data also offers some encouragement, with Bitcoin averaging a 3.81% return in January since 2013.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2528\" data-end=\"2816\"><em>You can also freely share your thoughts and comments about the topic in the comment section.
