Bitcoin price recovers 5% to $102K after market scare
Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) demonstrated resilience on January 27, bouncing back 5% to reclaim the $102,000 mark after a brief dip.
The cryptocurrency's price action followed a scare in US equity markets triggered by the emergence of the Chinese AI app DeepSeek, which raised concerns about US competitiveness.
Data indicated that BTC/USD rose from local lows of $97,750 to approximately $102,019.
This recovery came as traders reacted to initial volatility in US stock futures, which had seen a notable sell-off at the market open.
“That should be the pullback,” Popular trader Crypto Chase commented on the situation, while suggesting that if support holds around $95,000, traders could maintain a bullish outlook.
Market analysts have varied opinions on the recent downturn, with some suggesting that the reaction to DeepSeek was an overreaction.
Caleb Franzen from Cubic Analytics noted that despite market fluctuations, Bitcoin has gained 37% in the past ten weeks and highlighted that even traditional indices like the SP 500 are tracking towards average annual performance.
The current strength of Bitcoin is considered “relatively resilient,” according to trading firm QCP Capital, which pointed out that significant events such as the upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate decision could further influence market dynamics.
Moreover, there has been discontent among some investors regarding the selling of Bitcoin in response to external shocks unrelated to crypto markets.
“People selling Bitcoin now need to deepseek within themselves if they have studied Bitcoin enough,” Jan Wüstenfeld from Melanion GreenTech remarked.
At the time of reporting, the Bitcoin (BTC) price was $102,272.
