Bitcoin BTC USD Price Eyes $100K as Wall Street Buying Meets Rate Cut Tailwinds

Guy Fawkes 2026.01.10 3 min read

A time like this in 2025, everyone thought the Bitcoin price would reach $1M. Donald Trump was nearly two months into office, planning nice goodies for the industry.

And indeed, Bitcoin rallied, pushing to $110,000 before flushing out the usual 1000X leverage traders. Since then, the BTC USDT price has been dancing between the $80,000 level on the lower end and, when times are favorable, above $110,000.

At the moment, any push above $95,000 seems like a gift. If it does, the resulting momentum could easily propel the BTC USD price well above the psychological $100,000 mark. Considering the positive correlation between BTC and some of the best Solana meme coins, expect some quality tokens to soar in the process.

This is what some analysts expect to happen in the next few weeks, if not days.

Bitcoin is presently hovering near the $90,000 level, down -30% from October highs.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs and Low Interest Rates To Drive Bitcoin Prices?

Behind this optimism are two forces that beginners can actually measure.

First is institutional buying through spot Bitcoin ETFs.

Think of ETFs as a simple wrapper. They let pension funds and banks buy Bitcoin without touching crypto wallets.

More than $117Bn now sits inside US Bitcoin ETFs.

BlackRock’s IBIT alone holds over $70Bn. That matters because large funds buy in size and hold longer. Less panic selling. More price support.

Bitcoin bulls are optimistic and are now targeting $100,000. At the back of this possible BTC USD price expansion is Wall Street demand

ETF flows now act like a demand dashboard.

Late 2025 saw heavy outflows as funds locked in profits near record highs.

Early 2026 flipped that trend. Bitcoin ETFs recorded about $459M in weekly inflows, with BlackRock leading.

The second driver is lower interest rates.

In December 2025, the FED slashed rates by 25 basis points to within the +3.50% and +3.75% range.

When the Federal Reserve cuts rates, bonds pay less.

Investors then look for assets with higher upside.

Bitcoin and some of the next cryptos to explode often benefit from that shift.

Will BTC USD Price Break $100,000?

Evidently, confidence is high.

On the daily chart, my experience tells me buyers need to do more.

The recoil from around December 2025 highs could give sellers a chance to press on.

For this reason, all traders expect a solid close above $96,000.

When this happens, hopefully soon, the path of least resistance will be northwards.

Once $100,000 is cleared, not only will BTC USDT likely close above $102,000, but there is no discounting the possibility of another retest of $110,000.

On X, one analyst notes that the Bitcoin Power Law places the digital gold at over $118,000.

Bitcoin’s power law trend price is $118,009.

• Upper band $354,028
• Lower band $59,005

Bitcoin is currently trading at $91,094.

That’s ~23% below the power law trend.

Historically, buying Bitcoin below the power law has been one of the highest-probability opportunities… pic.twitter.com/o2ry1z7RIm
