Bitcoin Remains Strong Above $90,000 As Golden Cross Signals 41% Rally Ahead

bitcoin-binance main

According to a revelation disclosed today by CryptoQuant market analysts, the Bitcoin Fear and Greed Golden Cross indicates a potential, upcoming bullish momentum on the flagship cryptocurrency. A golden cross, a commonly used chart pattern, happens when Bitcoin’s short-term moving average (e.g., a 50-day simple moving average – SMA) crosses above the long-term moving average (e.g., 200-day SMA), a move that suggests an upcoming long-term bullish trend. This simply shows that Bitcoin’s momentum is changing from bearish to bullish.

Today, the asset’s fear and greed index flipped into greed status as Bitcoin early morning tested the $93,000 level, currently trading at a low of $91,161. Due to its solid performance since the beginning of the new year, which saw the cryptocurrency maintaining its price above the $90k crucial psychological mark, it’s possible that the asset is readying for looming asymmetric upsides.

What This Golden Cross Means 

According to data findings disclosed today by the analyst, Bitcoin’s short-term moving average (30-day MA) has moved above the long-term moving average (90-day MA) for the first time since May 2025. As per the analyst, the short-term moving average’s move to surpass the long-term moving average signifies a change in market psychology, indicating an improving positive sentiment and risk appetite among crypto investors.

However, this emerging excitement behavior is extraordinary as it occurs when the market is still cautious, with volatility remaining high, and enthusiasm is weak (unstable). The main indicator here is not whether sentiment is fearful or greedy, but how it shifts from fear to greed.

This development might appear technical, but historically, such a crossover has triggered huge price gains. Traditionally, every time BTC has formed a golden cross on its longer trading chart, a massive rally emerged. In 2015, the formation of a golden cross caused Bitcoin to experience a big 139% rally. Also, in 2016, the printout of the golden cross brought a massive 2,200 bull run on the BTC price. Again in 2020, the setup of a golden cross pattern caused the asset to witness a 1,190% rally, which enabled it to rise from around $10,000 to almost $70,000.

May 2025 was the last time the Bitcoin market saw this same signal flash when Bitcoin was hovering around the $65k, and consequently later resulted in a surge to over $100k price levels. Today, January 20, 2026, the same technical indicator is flashing. As history suggests, this signal indicates that the asset is preparing for a real move ahead. However, an important point to note is that the golden cross is a lagging indicator, implying that it doesn’t project a rally before it begins; it confirms that the trend is already building strength.

BTCUSDThe current price of Bitcoin is $91,161.

Bitcoin Price Outlook and Prediction 

Today, Bitcoin saw a 2.3% drop, falling from a high of $93,297 to the $91,161 current level. The asset also experiences a 1.3% drop over the past week, further confirming its ongoing consolidative movements. Despite the ongoing dip, BTC’s overall structure still favors the bullish momentum. It’s trading above the $90k level since the beginning of this month, indicating a sustained market appetite. 

The emergence of the golden cross further explains why Bitcoin’s structure still favors the bulls, confirming a change in market momentum just before the asset breaks out from a long-term consolidation move. Following the formation of the golden cross, Bitcoin is likely to experience a surge of almost 41% soon, positioning the asset to hit levels around $ 126,000 in the coming weeks.

The announcement by America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), which includes CVS Health’s Aetna, Humana, Cigna, Centene and an array of Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans as members, comes ahead of the first meeting of the reconstituted Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, which now has new members chosen by U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a vaccine critic. “Health plans are committed to maintaining and ensuring affordable access to vaccines,” AHIP said in a statement Wednesday. “Health plan coverage decisions for immunizations are grounded in each plan’s ongoing, rigorous review of scientific and clinical evidence, and continual evaluation of multiple sources of data.” The move by AHIP is good news for millions of Americans at a time of year when they flock to drugstores, pharmacies, physician’s offices and outpatient clinics to get their seasonal flu and Covid shots. Kennedy’s changes to U.S. vaccine policy have created confusion across the country over whether certain vaccines long covered by insurance would continue to be. AHIP has now provided some clarity for millions of Americans. “Health plans will continue to cover all ACIP-recommended immunizations that were recommended as of September 1, 2025, including updated formulations of the COVID-19 and influenza vaccines, with no cost-sharing…
