January 29, 2026 — Bitcoin experienced a sharp correction this week, falling to the range of $86,000, pressured by a "perfect storm" of political and economic factors.
The main vectors of the decline were:
• Political Deadlock: The postponement of the vote on the Clarity Act in the U.S. Senate and the withdrawal of support from Coinbase created regulatory uncertainty.
• High Interest Rates: The Federal Reserve (FED) disappointed the market by keeping interest rates unchanged, driving investors away from risk assets.
• Liquidation in Cascade: The sudden drop forced the automatic sale of billions in futures contracts, accelerating the depreciation.
• Mining Affected: Severe snowstorms in the USA forced the shutdown of miners, temporarily reducing the network's power.
