Cryptocurrency Market Overview BTC (+1.17% | Current price 93,921 USDT): The daily chart shows that Bitcoin has broken above the medium- to long-term downtrend channel. The MACD green bars continue to rise, and the RSI is moving higher, releasing a somewhat positive technical signal, indicating that the price still has room for further upward movement. Currently, BTC is testing the resistance at around $93,400, a level that coincides closely with a previous high-volume trading zone. If this resistance is broken effectively, it could open the way to test the $100,000 mark.

In contrast, liquidity above is more dispersed, implying that before the market continues to rise, some time is still needed for momentum to build. The recent slow upward movement has already cleared some short

On January 5, 2026, according to community reports, Blue Origin, the space exploration company founded by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, is planning to accept cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum as payment for its "New Shepard" suborbital space travel program. If this news is officially confirmed, it will be the first time that cryptocurrency serves as the primary payment method for commercial crewed space flights, marking a milestone breakthrough for digital assets in high-end physical consumption scenarios. Currently, the ticket price for a single "New Shepard" flight is still estimated to be in the millions of dollars, with nearly 100 passengers having experienced it so far. If this move materializes, it will not only be a key business strategy for Blue Origin to catch up with competitor SpaceX but also potentially open a new "space-grade" application paradigm for the entire cryptocurrency payment field.

However, the brilliant ecosystem data contrasts sharply with the bleak market prices: the PI token price plummeted over 93% from its nearly $3 all-time high in 2025, hovering around $0.20 at year-end. Looking ahead to 2026, the project team emphasizes continuous development of practical scenarios, while the market is divided into two extreme predictions: “zeroing out” and “ferocious bull market.” Pi Network is standing at a critical crossroads to prove its long-term value.
