Crypto Market Update Webinar - January 2026
Key Topics
Our first Crypto Market Update webinar of the year brings together Fundstrat’s Head of Digital Asset Strategy, Sean Farrell, and Head of Technical Strategy, Mark Newton, to reset expectations for crypto in the early part of the year.
Our team walks through the current lay of the land across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and select altcoins, using real charts, cycle analysis, and evidence-based signals to separate what matters now from what’s just noise.
Topics we discuss:
-Why near-term risks are rising and what’s driving choppy price action across crypto
-How macro and rate dynamics are quietly influencing digital assets beneath the surface
-What gold’s explosive rally may be signaling about investor behavior and risk appetite
-Where momentum starts to matter more than fundamentals
-How miners and infrastructure names can act differently than spot crypto in volatile markets
-The signals that would change our crypto outlook
-Live technical analysis on $HOOD, $COIN, BTC, ETH, $CIFR and more!
