Cryptocurrency News Today: Market Updates & Analysis podcast.Hey folks, Crypto Willy here, your go-to buddy for all things blockchain, Bitcoin, and decentralized dough. Let's dive into the wild week in crypto leading up to January 20, 2026—markets bounced, dipped, and teased us with breakout dreams.Kicking off early, Binance Square's market update on January 13 showed Bitcoin cruising between $90,128 and $92,672, closing at $92,550 with a solid 1.92% pump. Global market cap hit $3.14 trillion, up 1.48%, while Ethereum ticked to $3,143 (+0.85%), Solana to $142 (+1.72%), and Dogecoin barked up 2.34% to $0.14. Standouts? DOLO surged 50%, Dash 36%, and Verge 21%. MEXC echoed the vibe, with BTC at $93,527 on bullish volume of $23.85 billion, dominance steady at 56%.Mid-week, Coinpedia analysts eyed January upside: Bitcoin flirting with $100K-$110K on retail fear and institutional buys post-$3T floor reset; Ethereum range-bound near $2,900-$3,150, needing staking juice; XRP eyeing $1.8-$3.4, hitched to BTC's moves. Changelly's ETH forecast backed it, predicting a January average of $3,473, peaking at $3,764 by month's end.But Friday's drama hit hard—OpenExo reported a 3% market cap wipeout to $3.21 trillion on January 19, BTC sliding 2.7% to $92,532, ETH dropping 3.6% to $3,192 amid Wave IV corrections, Greenland geopolitical jitters, and ETF outflows. Doge tanked 7.7%, though Dash and Monero bucked the trend up 9% and 6% on privacy demand. U.Today flagged an unnoticed ETH/BTC death cross at 2026's start, with ETH down 6.46% to $3,104 versus BTC's 3.12% dip to $89,991. BeInCrypto warned of ETH bulls failing at $3,309 reversal risks.Big news drops? U.S. Senate Ag Committee delayed the crypto market structure bill; Dems launched BlueVault for crypto fans; 21Shares dropped Bitcoin-Gold ETP on London Stock Exchange.
