BTC ran about 8.5% off the yearly open, implied volume picked up, then a $3K drop in Tuesday\u2019s US session triggered roughly $180M in long liquidations within an hour.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFlows and access are still moving in <span class=\"il\">Bitcoin<\/span>\u2019s favour. US spot ETFs added more than $1.1B of net inflows in the first two trading days, Morgan Stanley filed for a BTC trust, MSCI kept crypto-treasury names in its indexes, helping preserve passive exposure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the background, the S&amp;P 500 is at new highs. Metals sit near records, and US gasoline prices are at multi-year lows, easing headline inflation pressure. For traders, 2026 opens with higher volume but a macro backdrop that still leans supportive for risk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Explore: <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/next-100x-crypto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>16+ New and Upcoming Binance Listings in 2026<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Bitfinex On US Capture Of Maduro And Bitcoin Prices<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cThe news about US forces capturing Nicol\u00e1s Maduro represents a major geopolitical shock, with immediate spillover effects across energy markets and digital assets,\u201d said Bitfinex analysts. \u201cAn initial rally of two to five percent in US oil equities such as Chevron and Exxon Mobil, alongside a modest pullback in crude prices, would likely reflect expectations of increased supply and reduced geopolitical risk premia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis however is unlikely to be just limited to an energy market repricing. The event will have second-order implications for <span class=\"il\">Bitcoin<\/span> and the broader crypto market through both energy costs and risk sentiment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the long term, a reintegration of Venezuelan oil into global markets could materially lower marginal electricity costs for energy-intensive industries, including <span class=\"il\">Bitcoin<\/span> mining. Venezuela holds roughly 303 billion barrels of proven reserves, and a reopening supported by an estimated $10-20 billion in US-led investment could add between one and two million barrels per day over time. Cheaper and more abundant energy would improve miner margins globally and could unlock a new phase of mining expansion, particularly in regions able to secure long-term power contracts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat said, these dynamics remain highly speculative. Any meaningful increase in Venezuelan output would take years, not months, and depends entirely on how the US chooses to manage political transition, sanctions relief and long-term engagement in the country. In the near term, the crypto impact is likely to be driven less by energy fundamentals and more by shifts in macro risk appetite, volatility and cross-asset positioning following such an unprecedented geopolitical development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Explore: <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/report\/state-of-crypto-q4-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">99Bitcoins\u2019 Q4 2025 State of Crypto Market Report<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/discord.gg\/B7Uk6agkqj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>Follow 99Bitcoins on\u00a0<\/span><\/a><a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/99BitcoinsHQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">X<\/a>\u00a0For the Latest Market Updates and Subscribe on\u00a0<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@99bitcoins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a>\u00a0For Daily Expert Market Analysis.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"nnbtc-live-articles-list\">\n<div class=\"nnbtc-updates-container\">\n<div class=\"nnbtc-no-updates\">\n<p>There are no live updates available yet.
