Michaël van de Poppe reports the Bitcoin liquidity sweep has occurred and warns that failure to print a higher high risks another sweep of lows that could wick below $75,000 and erase the uptrend.

According to @CryptoMichNL, Chainlink’s technology is strong fundamentally and the chart is improving, with LINK creating its first higher low since the bear market; source: @CryptoMichNL. If this higher low holds and price breaks upward, he expects a new higher high to form on LINK, highlighting a potential bullish continuation trigger for traders; source: @CryptoMichNL.

According to @CryptoMichNL, the preferred altcoin trend-change sequence is a breakout above the 21-day moving average for the first time in six months, a strong retest that holds the 21-day MA, and a subsequent higher high that confirms a new uptrend, source: @CryptoMichNL on X (Jan 13, 2026). According to @CryptoMichNL, OP (Optimism) now appears to be exhibiting this structure, indicating a nascent uptrend that traders can monitor for continuation, source: @CryptoMichNL on X (Jan 13, 2026).

According to @CryptoMichNL, Bitcoin has printed a new low and a credible reversal setup requires a high-volume bounce and a decisive break above the 4H 20-MA to establish a higher high, which could open upside for BTC, source: @CryptoMichNL.

Traders should watch the 4H 20-MA as a confirmation trigger and monitor volume around the U.S. cash open to assess whether selling pressure persists or exhausts, source: @CryptoMichNL.
