According to Deep Tide TechFlow news, on January 10, Greeks.Live analyst Adam posted on social media that due to the weakness of the US stock market, BTC fell below $91,000 this week, hitting a nearly one-month low. Market panic sentiment has risen, and short-term options implied volatility (IV) has significantly increased. The benefits brought by Trump's upcoming inauguration mainly manifest in the long term, while the Federal Reserve's January interest rate meeting is expected to maintain interest rates unchanged.
