Summary With Bitcoin (BTC-USD) having breached the $100,000 level, Ethereum (ETH-USD) began a shocking move higher from $2,100 to $4,950, setting new records. It is typical to see corrections of 50% to 75% in this very volatile market, as seen in the 2013, 2018, and 2021 crashes. Following these huge corrections, barring systemic rewirings, there have been historic runs. Does crypto still have much more to correct? Knowing that they still stand at the extreme of the risk spectrum, potentially, yes. However, the real question is how much more. Here we take a look at the daily charts with technical levels for Bitcoin and Ethereum. By Elior Manier Cryptocurrencies haven't caught a break in the past four months. Risk appetite has taken a U-turn lower after a marvellous mid-2025. From the conclusion of the 12-day war to the layoffs fears in October, digital assets looked invincible. With Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) having breached the $100,000 level, Ethereum ( ETH-USD ) began a shocking move higher from $2,100 to $4,950, setting new records. Now, looking at these prices, it seems as if we were talking about some antique trends. But for those unaccustomed to the asset class, this is what crypto does. It stays dormant, makes you forget, then it builds momentum, and suddenly it explodes higher. After a while, everybody talks about crypto. Financial revolutions, new countries adopt them as their reserve currencies, and the end of the Fiat currency system as we know it: new records are forged, headlines come by the millions, grandmothers start buying, and suddenly it's all over. It is typical to see corrections of 50% to 75% in this very volatile market, as seen in the 2013, 2018, and 2021 crashes. It wipes out doubters, leveraged traders, and dodgy projects. But the dreams of higher levels are sensical. Following these huge corrections, barring systemic rewirings, there have been historic runs. A reminder that Bitcoin is still up 300% since its Summer 2022 bottom - compared with Nasdaq, which is up a (still impressive) 130% in the same period. The magnitude of moves in crypto is just that elevated, hence corrections tend to be quite brutal. Current Session in Cryptos - January 24, 2026 (10:11) (Source: FinViz) So is it soon over? To me, we are just entering a phase of broad market turmoil. Does crypto still have much more to correct? The entire space lost more than 50% of its valuation. It is now much less overbought than it was, but knowing that they still stand at the extreme of the risk spectrum, potentially, yes. However, the real question is how much more. Predicting a bottom is a rough task. Luckily, investors and traders don't need a crystal ball to make money. One potential strategy is to wait for key numbers to place small, progressive trades and investments. The last drop to $60,000 preceded a swift rebound the past few weeks, coinciding with a close to 50% retracement, and it is getting close again. Dip-buyers could also wait for $55,000; $50,000, and you get the idea for the rest. The most important thing is to make your own investment game plan, spread your entries, and avoid getting too scared by obsessively seeking certainty on the Internet when no one knows what's coming. That's how, eventually, when the bearish wave is gone, you will have caught some decent averages on your entries and can wait for better days to take profits or flex on those who threw the towel in. Let's dive right into the daily charts with technical levels for Bitcoin and Ethereum.
