He pointed to repeated rejections at important resistance levels and a weakening rebound strength.The chartist broke down Bitcoin’s weekly structure, which he said reflects the period of the gap between the bull market of 2021 and the bear market of 2022. He pointed towards descending triangles, long-term Exponential Moving Average (EMA) resistance, and the failure to reclaim macro trendlines, which he said have weakened Bitcoin's rebound strength.<figure class="image"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2026_01_24_at_10_48_10_PM_png_0d3946602d.webp" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-24 at 10.48.10 PM.png" width="2070" height="1388"><figcaption>Chart shows Bitcoin's early 2026 macro triangle.

While Rekt Capital doesn’t disengage from that argument, he says there’s a caveat. He argued that higher lows are only bullish if they are accompanied by a trend reversal- breaking the macro downtrend.&nbsp;He suggested that in a healthy bull market, price reclaims the EMA zone. However, what he sees is Bitcoin failing to reclaim the EMA zone and continuing to trade below it. He positions the current movement as a first-quarter “relief cluster.”&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/bitcoin">Bitcoin (BTC)</a> was trading at $88,932.59, down 0.9% in the last 24 hours.

Bitcoin Slides Toward Full-Cycle Washout Last Seen During 2022 Bear Market 

On-chain indicators for Bitcoin suggest the cryptocurrency is resetting and not consolidating, similar to the capitulation points in both 2018 and 2022.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Bitcoin’s weakness versus gold may have less to do with crypto sentiment and more to do with Japan.</li><li>For global markets and US risk assets in particular, BOJ intervention has historically acted as a liquidity release valve.</li><li>While some analysts are bullish on Bitcoin, saying it's a matter of time before BTC moves higher, others are betting on gold.&nbsp;</li></ul>Gold’s (XAU) rally and Bitcoin’s (BTC) underperformance in early 2026 are converging on an unlikely catalyst: Japan’s bond market. A sharp rise in Japanese bond yields is reshaping risk signals, providing a booster for gold, while leaving Bitcoin in a wait-and-watch mode ahead of potential intervention from the Bank of Japan (BoJ).&nbsp;On Friday, Japan's 2-year government bond yield hit a record high of 1.245%, a level not seen since 1996. Meanwhile, Japan’s 10-year government bond yield has steadied at 2.25%, indicating long-term upward pressure persists. Market participants argue that this could be a new shift in how investors gauge risk.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">Japan’s Yield Shock Rewrites The Gold–Bitcoin Playbook</h2>A Delphi market researcher, Marcus, <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://members.delphidigital.io/feed/japans-yield-shock-is-sorting-assets">said</a> the surge in Japanese bond yields is no longer pressuring gold through higher opportunity costs, as theory would suggest. Instead, gold and Japanese bonds are now rising together, a shift he sees as a sign of policy stress and balance-sheet fragility, rather than ‘healthy normalization.’ He also pointed out that the one-year relationship between gold and JP10Y has now turned positive.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><a class="st-link-external" href="https://x.com/Delphi_Digital/thread/2014435548513943815" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2026_01_23_at_3_58_14_AM_png_069e569864.webp" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-23 at 3.58.14 AM.png" width="946" height="1078"></a><figcaption>Delphi Digital analyst Marcus on Bitcoin and gold's relation to Japansese bond market.

This is why the macro researcher believes that bitcoin is not competing with gold during times of stress but rather waiting for the BOJ to turn off the “stress signal”.&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/bitcoin">Bitcoin</a> was trading at $89,418, down 0.5% over the last 24 hours.

In a single session, the BOJ provided around ¥1.16 trillion in liquidity support by purchasing eight ¥50 billion in government bonds, while lending ¥312 billion to banks. He stated that this has effectively put pressure on the currency, and the yen has depreciated to $158.8. In his opinion, such frequent short-term remedies push gold as a hedge, citing it as the reason for gold's edge higher.<figure class="image"><a class="st-link-external" href="https://x.com/DarioCpx/status/2014238197799399758?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2026_01_23_at_3_54_44_AM_png_2c0e91fbfb.webp" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-23 at 3.54.44 AM.png" width="822" height="1542"></a><figcaption>Analyst on Japan's economic stress as the yen is devalued agains dollar. | Source: @<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/DarioCpx">DarioCpx</a>/X</figcaption></figure>Gold (XAU) was trading at $4,596.32 per ounce on early Friday.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Joe Burnett said AI is making intelligence cheap and widely available, reshaping how markets and long-term stores of value are perceived</li><li>Burnett said that as intelligence-driven productivity lowers costs across the economy, capital may gravitate toward assets that cannot be diluted, like Bitcoin</li><li>He described Bitcoin as the first instance of “perfect digital scarcity.”</li></ul>Joe Burnett, Vice President of Bitcoin Strategy for Strive Asset Management (ASST), said Bitcoin will benefit from the growing influence of artificial intelligence and that the technological “singularity” is already here, making a case for Bitcoin as a store of value.&nbsp;On Sunday, Burnett wrote an article&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/IIICapital/status/2012549827310002371?s=20">on X</a> named ‘The Singularity Has Begun’ where he explained that the real revolution isn’t artificial intelligence replacing humans, but that intelligence itself has become cheap and widely available. Tools like large language models, Burnett believes, have already cut the cost of writing, coding, research, and analysis in half. He thinks this development will reshape markets and long-term economic behavior.&nbsp;He argued that because intelligence reduces the cost of goods and services, traditional stores of value like housing, commodities, and corporate profits will be under pressure. “Intelligence started behaving like a commodity. Once intelligence approaches zero marginal cost, everything built on intelligence changes with it," said Burnett. In that setting, Burnett says capital will gravitate to assets immune from dilution.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">Bitcoin As Safe Store Of Value</h2>Burnett said the beginning of this new era started on January 3, 2009, when Bitcoin’s (BTC) genesis block was mined. He called Bitcoin the first instance of “perfect digital scarcity,” an asset with a finite supply that cannot be increased by governments, institutions, or technology.&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/bitcoin">Bitcoin (BTC)&nbsp;</a>was trading at $95,110.14, relatively flat over the last 24 hours. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around Bitcoin remained in ‘bullish’ territory, as chatter around the apex crypto remained at ‘normal’ levels over the past day.Already, many people sense this shift, Burnett said, noting a growing unease about savings, careers, and financial security. That unease, he argued, helps to explain the popularity of speculative assets and high-octane trading in all corners of the market. This phenomenon not only tests faith in Bitcoin but has prompted people to dabble in meme coins or meme stocks.<blockquote>“When savings melt slowly, people look for meaning in extremes they feel ordinary effort can never achieve. Savings represent deferred effort. They reflect years of work, discipline, and planning. They depend on the idea that value today will persist into the future. When intelligence becomes abundant, that assumption weakens. This reaction is rational. The singularity has begun.”&nbsp;</blockquote>Citing these concerns, Burnett placed Bitcoin as the solution for “a world where intelligence creates abundance, wealth moves toward something truly scarce.”Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/strc-sets-volume-record-as-strategy-preferred-products-jumps/cmUYb7cR49e">Strategy’s STRC Hits Record Volume As Demand for Other Preferreds Jumps 50%</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
