Last week, funds have flowed into #Bitcoin, #Ethereum, and #Hyperliquid.

On January 14, CoinDesk reported Bitcoin briefly touched $96,000, up nearly 10% since 2026. The uptrend was largely driven by strong momentum in North American trading hours. Per Velo data, Bitcoin’s cumulative gain during North American sessions was roughly 8%. By contrast, European trading hours saw only a modest ~3% increase, while Asian sessions weighed on overall performance. This trend stands in sharp contrast to late 2025. Back then, Bitcoin posted a cumulative drop of up to 20% in North American trading hours in late November, sliding to a near-$80k low. In Q4 2025, Bitcoin regularly faced selling pressure at the U.S. market open, while spot Bitcoin ETFs saw nearly daily outflows. Now, the biggest gains are occurring right after the U.S. market opens—a window that had been Bitcoin’s weakest period over the past six months. U.S. trading hours don’t always reflect U.S. investor activity, as price moves during these times capture volatility across U.S. domestic exchanges and

**January 14 –** Per data from HyperInsight monitoring (Telegram: https://t.me/HyperInsight), the wallet address starting with 0x17d has closed out its entire long position of ~1.76 million ASTER tokens in the past hour. The position’s size equates to roughly $1.35 million, netting the address an approximate profit of $147,000. The address made its first-ever transaction yesterday: it transferred ~$304,000 to Hyperliquid, then opened a 5x leveraged long position on ASTER at roughly $0.687 per token. Today, ASTER’s price rose on positive news, and the address closed the position at ~$0.77 per token—delivering a 40% return on investment (ROI).

Jan. 14 – Per Bitget market data, Metaplanet, the Japanese Bitcoin custodian firm traded under ticker DAT, closed at 605 Japanese yen today. The daily gain reached 77 yen, representing a 14.58% surge.

As of January 14, official data from Pacifica shows that since its Pacifica Points program launched, the platform has drawn numerous traders to open positions—both to chase market gains and accumulate points. A high-frequency trading address (4TYE) began ramping up trading volume to earn points on November 25. With an initial outlay of ~$300,000, it generated $1.2 billion in trading volume, netted nearly $650,000 in profits (doubling its initial investment), and now tops the monthly profit leaderboard. Analysis of community traders who’ve already claimed points suggests this address could accumulate ~47,000 points from its trading volume. If the points program runs for another 22 weeks and the airdrop allocation is 25%, the address is projected to receive ~53,000 tokens. Users can now leverage Coinbob Pacifica (@CoinbobPAC_bot)—an on-chain data analysis and copy-trading tool built exclusively for Pacifica—to mirror high-frequency traders’ strategies, earn points, and position

**Bitcoin OG Whale On-Chain Activity, Selling Pressure Drop Sharply** CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost noted on Jan. 14 that on-chain activity for Bitcoin “OG whales” — holders who haven’t touched their BTC in 5+ years — has plummeted. Notably, this cycle offered OG whales an almost perfect selling window: big institutional capital flowed in, and even government-linked buyers joined as the cycle unfolded. Still, their selling at cycle highs has been tapering off. The 90-day moving average of sending TXOs (STXOs) for these whales peaked at ~2,300 BTC recently but has since dropped sharply, now hovering around just 1,000 BTC. This signals their sell pace has slowed, with heavy selling pressure easing significantly. The current dominant trend leans more toward holding than selling.
