BlockBeats News, January 14, according to CoinDesk, bitcoin briefly reached $96,000, rising nearly 10% since 2026. This upward trend was mainly driven by strong performance during the North American trading session. According to Velo data, bitcoin's cumulative return during the North American session was about 8%. In contrast, the European session saw only a moderate increase of about 3%, while the Asian trading session dragged down the overall performance. This trend is in stark contrast to the situation at the end of 2025. At that time, bitcoin fell by as much as 20% during the North American trading session at the end of November, hitting a low of nearly $80,000. In the fourth quarter, bitcoin often faced selling pressure at the opening of the U.S. market, and spot bitcoin ETFs experienced capital outflows almost every day. Currently, the strongest returns appear shortly after the U.S. market opens, whereas in the past six months, this period was precisely when bitcoin performed the weakest. The U.S. trading session does not necessarily represent the trading activity of U.S. investors, as the price performance during these sessions reflects the ups and downs of both U.S. domestic trading platforms and overseas exchanges such as a certain exchange. Therefore, the strong returns during the U.S. market session may coexist with a negative premium on a certain exchange, indicating that demand may come from global participants rather than domestic U.S. buyers.
