The crypto market shot up and the price of Bitcoin jumped sharply to US$ 95,000 in trading Wednesday (14/1/2026) morning. 

The strengthening comes as investors respond to a combination of stable inflation data, political uncertainty, and renewed interest in crypto as a macroeconomic hedge.

Based on Coinmarketcap data, the global crypto market capitalization shot up 4.74% to US$ 3.25 trillion. 

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) is seen soaring 4.36% to us$ 95,135 per coin at the time of this news writing.

The CoinDesk 20 index, which reflects the movements of the 20 largest crypto-assets in the market, skyrocketed by 5,03%. 

With the price of Ethereum (ETH) flying by 7.49% to us$ 3,322, Binance (BNB) terkerek 4.47% to US$ 944, and Solana (SOL) rose 5.47% to US$ 146.

XRP jumped 5.13% to US$ 2.15 and Dogecoin (DOGE) jumped 9.42% to US$ 0.14.

Quoted from CoinDesk, this increase comes after Bitcoin briefly corrected earlier, with BTC rising from the weekend support level around US$ 91,000. 

U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) Data showed December inflation held at 2.7% as expected, while the core CPI was lower than analysts ' consensus.

Meanwhile, the price of gold broke the all-time high (Ath) at the level of U.S.$ 4,634 per ounce troi. The moderate rise in the price of this crypto occurred amid the weakening of the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices, which fell by about 0.2% throughout the trading session.

"This morning'S CPI report provides the strong footing the market needs to erase the uncertainty of data since late 2025," said Matt Mena, crypto analyst at digital asset investment firm 21Shares.

The lower-than-expected core CPI reinforces the Fed's soft landing narrative and raises the chances of further rate cuts this year, despite political pressure over the Justice Department's investigation of Fed Chairman Jerome Powell.

Lower interest rates typically reduce the appeal of holding cash and drive demand for riskier assets, including bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

However, in Polymarket, the chances of the Fed cutting interest rates by 25 basis points this month are still small, only 3.6%, while in Kalshi it is at the level of 5%.

Bitcoin to $100,000

According to Mena, bitcoin still needs to break through the resistance zone of us$ 93,500-US$ 95,000 which has been holding back price movements for almost the last two months.

After the release of CPI data, a number of important agendas have the potential to trigger market volatility again. One of them is the discussion of the digital asset market structure act in the US Senate. 

The latest draft released late Monday suggests a compromise regarding stablecoin yields and protection for the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector.

If passed, this regulation is considered to be a positive sentiment for crypto assets because it signals confidence for institutional investors.

Investors are also awaiting a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on federal tariff authority scheduled for Wednesday, which could potentially affect the movement of the U.S. dollar and riskier assets.

On the political front, tensions between President Donald Trump and Fed Chairman Jerome Powell are also in the spotlight. A subpoena from the Justice Department that could potentially lead to criminal charges against Powell sparked concerns about the independence of the U.S. central bank.

"If the upcoming retail and housing sales data confirms consumers are still solid, we expect bitcoin to break the$ 93,500–$ 95,000 resistance convincingly,” Mena said.

According to him, a break of that level could 'open the way' towards US$ 100,000 before the end of the month and potentially set a new record high this quarter.
