JAKARTA - In the last 24 hours, Bitcoin (BTC) has weakened 1.50% to the level of 77,700 US dollars or equivalent to Rp. 1.30 billion, after touching 75,724 US dollars (Rp. 1.27 billion), the lowest since April 2025.
On a monthly basis, Ajaib noted that Bitcoin's performance has also not shown improvement. Throughout January 2026, BTC closed negative 10.17% at the level of 78,621 US dollars (Rp. 1.32 billion).
This correction has caused the price of Bitcoin to fall by about 40% from its peak in 2025 at 126,000 US dollars (Rp2.11 trillion), returning to the post-market collapse area due to the "liberation day" tariff policy in April 2025.
On the other hand, Ethereum (ETH) recorded a worse performance with a sharp correction of 17.52% throughout January, closing at the level of 2,445 US dollars (Rp41.1 million) after having traded at 2,967 US dollars (Rp49.8 million) at the start of the session.
According to Financial Expert Ajaib, Panji Yudha, the selling pressure in the crypto market is inseparable from global sentiment, especially after US President Donald Trump appointed Kevin Warsh as the candidate for Federal Reserve Chairman to replace Jerome Powell.
"This choice instantly strengthens the position of the US Dollar because it alleviates market concerns about the independence of the central bank, which automatically reduces the attractiveness of Bitcoin," said Panji.
For today's trading, Panji estimates that Bitcoin has the potential to move in the range of US$76,000-79,000 (Rp1.27 - Rp1.32 billion).
while Ethereum is predicted to be in the range of US$2,200-2,400 (Rp36.9 - Rp40.3 million), with volatility still high and market participants tend to be wait and see.
