This comes as BTC continues to see a supply overhang, which threatens to put more downward pressure on crypto prices.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Why The Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana Prices Are Still Crashing<\/h2>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/axeladlerjr.com\/17k-btc-to-exchanges-in-2-days-the-90k-breakdown-was-premeditated\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">research report<\/a>, Axel noted that anomalous exchange inflows accompanied the BTC breakdown below the $90,000 zone as sellers prepared in advance. The market is also still at risk of further selling pressure as the 1.0 level of the <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-rally-meets-selling-from-short-term-holders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">short-term holders&#8217; SOPR<\/a> is now acting as a resistance rather than support. As such, there is a possibility that Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana prices will decline further.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Further commenting on Bitcoin netflows into exchanges, Axel noted that between January 20 and 21, almost 17,000 <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/from-bitcoin-to-ethereum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">BTC flowed into exchanges<\/a>, coinciding with BTC dropping to as low as $87,000, while Ethereum and Solana prices also dropped. The crypto researcher explained that these anomalously high values followed a period of predominantly negative netflow in the first half of this month.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-877515\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Axel-Adler-Jr.png?w=512&#038;resize=512%2C288\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the context of the falling Bitcoin price, Axel stated that such a spike is more likely to reflect supply preparation than neutral transfers. In other words, the breakdown below $90,000 appears to be structural rather than emotional. Meanwhile, Bitcoin netflow returned to neutral levels yesterday, but the accumulated inflow still creates a supply overhang, which could lead to further declines in the prices of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Axel noted that a signal of improvement would be if netflow turns negative again amid rising prices, which could indicate that the overhang has cleared. However, with the short-term holders\u2019 7-day SMA SOPR below 0.996, the crypto researcher suggested that BTC faces increased selling pressure on every recovery as these holders look to sell at breakeven. He added that a reversal trigger could be confirmed if the SOPR breaks above 1.0 from below, with the 7-day SMA holding unity for three to five days to filter out false spikes after the selloff.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Why A Break Above $100,000 Looks Unlikely For Now<\/h2>\n<p>In its latest Bitcoin rally above $100,000 looks unlikely for now as the supply overhang persists. They noted how this overhang supply above $98,000 remains the dominant sell-side force capping short to mid-term rebounds.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Alluding to the Unspent Realized Price Distribution metric, Glassnode noted that the recent BTC rally has partially filled the prior air gap between $93,000 and $98,000, driven by redistribution from top buyers into newer market participants.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, the unresolved supply overhang is expected to likely cap attempts above the $98,400 short-term holders\u2019 cost basis and the $100,000 level. A meaningful and sustained acceleration in demand momentum is said to be required for a clean breakout above $100,000 to occur.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/61zJgJyL\/\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"2108\" height=\"1440\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crypto researcher Axel has provided insights into why the Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana prices are still crashing.
