Crypto opens 2026 with a rebound as key U.S. labour data looms
Crypto started 2026 on firmer footing, with the total crypto market cap rebounding to $3.22 trillion as early-year flows stabilised sentiment. The Fear & Greed Index has exited fear and settled into neutral, suggesting risk appetite is recovering without tipping into excess. When sentiment improves before leverage rebuilds, markets tend to reprice in a more orderly, durable way.
Early-year positioning is being reinforced by broad-based inflows across major crypto ETFs, signalling that risk appetite is returning through regulated channels rather than leverage or speculative tail risk. Bitcoin is holding near $93,000, with Ether around $3,200, as the recovery remains led by the most liquid assets.
In traditional markets, the tone is constructive but selective: equities continue to digest recent record highs, energy and technology remain leadership pockets, while precious metals stay bid and copper trades at record levels, reflecting a blend of momentum and hedging.
Bitcoin
Bitcoin is steadying after its early-year bounce above $93,000, with near-term price action increasingly shaped by flows versus perceived supply overhangs. The market is showing early signs of stability as regulated demand rebuilds, even as participants remain sensitive to macro repricing and headline risk. The near-term test is whether steady institutional demand can anchor price action while treasury-related headlines remain secondary to flows and macro conditions.
Ethereum & Altcoins
Ethereumโs positioning is quietly improving beneath the surface. Ether is trading around $3,200, holding recent gains as on-chain signals point to easing sell-side pressure. The validator exit queue has fallen to zero, while the entry queue has climbed to ~1.3 million ETH, signalling renewed willingness among large holders to commit capital to staking rather than withdraw it. Altcoin leadership remains highly concentrated. XRP outperformed, pushing toward $2.4 on strong volume, reinforcing a broader structural trend visible through 2025: capital is consolidating into a narrow group of institutional-grade alt majors with liquidity, regulatory clarity, and scalable exposure.
Macro & Institutional
Across traditional markets, momentum remains supportive but nuanced. Asian equities extended gains into the new year, Europe followed higher, while U.S. futures softened modestly after recent record closes. From an institutional crypto perspective, ETF flows point to a coordinated re-risking rather than a single-asset trade. Bitcoin ETFs led with roughly $697 million in net inflows, followed by Ethereum with $168 million, while XRP and Solana ETFs added approximately $46 million and $16 million respectively. The significance lies less in any single figure and more in the breadth of participation, suggesting allocators are rebuilding diversified crypto exposure through liquid, regulated vehicles as 2026 begins.
Commodities reflect a mix of momentum and caution. Gold remains near record highs, silver and copper are firm, and oil is volatile as markets assess geopolitical developments and potential supply implications. In FX, the dollar has stabilised after recent volatility, while the yen remains supported by expectations of further BOJ tightening.
Looking Ahead
Markets now turn their focus to a dense run of U.S. economic data through the week, starting with Services PMI on Tuesday, followed by ADP employment and JOLTS openings on Wednesday, initial jobless claims on Thursday, and culminating in average hourly earnings, the nonfarm payrolls report, and the unemployment rate on Friday. Together, these releases will shape expectations around labour-market resilience, wage pressures, and the Fedโs policy path, with signs of cooling likely to support risk appetite.
