On January 28, Bitcoin experienced a technical rebound after recently dropping to $85,970, but the rally was only about 4%, and it faced resistance again around $89,380, failing to generate sustained upward momentum. Despite market progress related to ETFs, the price performance remains relatively weak, indicating that macroeconomic conditions are significantly constraining short-term trends. From a technical perspective, Bitcoin previously formed a hidden bullish divergence on the daily chart, with RSI weakening while the price remained high, temporarily pushing the price higher. However, the effect of this signal was short-lived, as buying pressure was quickly offset by selling pressure. Meanwhile, positive news surrounding ETFs has not resulted in the usual amplification effect, reflecting that risk appetite among funds remains cautious.

On January 22, news broke that Trump suddenly withdrew his tariff plans against the EU and signaled a thaw regarding the Greenland issue, causing significant losses for a group of traders on Polymarket. Previously, bets on "Will Trump acquire Greenland before 2027" quickly reversed, with the probability of "Yes" dropping to about 11%, and a large amount of funds experiencing a noticeable withdrawal. This trend once again confirms the so-called "TACO trading" logic. The concept was introduced by Robert Armstrong in 2025 to describe Trump's usual strategy: first issuing extreme threats to trigger market panic, then retracting or softening the stance, thereby triggering a rebound in asset prices. The "D-Day" tariff shock in April 2025 is a typical example, and the operations around European tariffs and the Greenland issue in January 2026 repeated this pattern.
