🟡 100K ($100K): WEAK BUY - January 2026 presents a setup where improving monetary conditions and legislative clarity could support a recovery rally, but demand metrics remain weak and momentum is fragile. The market is awaiting catalysts—Bitcoin breaking $100K psychologically and the CLARITY Act advancing legislatively would be key confidence builders. Institutional accumulation narratives are compelling long-term, but near-term price action remains range-bound.
