[LIVE] Crypto News Today: Latest Updates for Jan. 15, 2026

On-chain data suggests smart money is positioning for a potential upside move as whale accumulation accelerates. Market research firm Santiment said addresses holding between 100 and 10,000 BTC have added nearly 32,700 BTC since January 10, while retail-sized wallets continued to sell, a pattern it described as an ideal setup for the start of a bull market. Despite broader weakness in the AI token sector, Bitcoin remained resilient, rising about 1.4% and briefly topping $97,000. Ethereum traded largely flat above $3,300. Santiment noted that the longevity of the trend will depend on how long retail investors remain cautious, with sentiment still sitting in an “extremely bullish” zone.
