Bitcoin Fails to Hit $90,000 Milestone, Market Sentiment Turns Bearish

BlockBeats News, January 23rd. Bitcoin failed to reclaim the $90,000 level, weakening investor confidence and intensifying bearish sentiment. Georgii Verbitskii, founder of the non-custodial Web3 platform TYMIO, stated: "In the short term, Bitcoin's weakness stems from a lack of interest from large institutions at the current price level." He pointed out that geopolitical uncertainty has led investors to adopt a defensive strategy.

Ryan Li, co-founder of Surf, added: "Even strong-performing altcoins are struggling, such as Avalanche, which has fallen by about 66% since September last year, despite its partnerships with institutions like JPMorgan and WisdomTree. This indicates that the market's tolerance for altcoins is very low."

Verbitskii noted that gold has become a market focus, attracting significant safe-haven funds, marginalizing Bitcoin. He believes this is not a "systemic shift" caused by panic but a period where Bitcoin is repriced as a non-preferred asset. However, once large funds re-enter, market sentiment may change. Until then, he expects market sentiment to remain uncertain.
