Bitcoin BTCUSD returned to $102,000 at the Jan. 27 Wall Street open as bulls bounced back from a US stocks scare.
BTC price rebound reclaims $100,000 mark
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTCUSD gaining up to 4.6% versus local lows of $97,750 on Bitstamp.
Those had accompanied a snap comedown in US equities futures due to the release of Chinese ChatGPT rival, DeepSeek, which sparked concerns over US competitiveness in the field.
Big Tech sold off noticeably at the open, but further significant downside was yet to materialize at the time of writing as Bitcoin sought to reclaim the six-figure mark.
“That should be the pullback,” popular trader Crypto Chase responded in his latest analysis on X.
An accompanying chart left the door open for a fresh local low around $95,000, with Crypto Chase suggesting that if it holds as support, traders “can still be bullish.”
Others dismissed the gravity of the risk-asset downside, arguing that an overreaction was at hand.
Caleb Franzen, creator of market research resource Cubic Analytics, zoomed out.
“Even the S&P 500’s 10-week return of +1.65% is tracking towards an annualized return of +8.8%, which is almost exactly the average annual performance of the index since 1950,” he observed in one of his latest blog posts. 

Data from monitoring resource CoinGlass confirmed BTCUSD was still up more than 8% in Q1.
Reactions also included dismay at certain entities selling BTC because of an external shock not specific to crypto markets.
“People selling Bitcoin now need to deepseek within themselves if they have studied Bitcoin enough,” Jan Wuestenfeld, lead researcher at tech firm Melanion GreenTech, wrote on X.
Bitcoin rangebound but “relatively resilient”
Looking ahead, trading firm QCP Capital raised topics beyond DeepSeek, potentially dictating crypto behavior.
“As for BTC, we do not foresee a break higher without confirmation on a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve,” it predicted in its latest post sent to Telegram channel subscribers on the day. 
QCP added that the upcoming Federal Reserve interest rates decision was a key event for the week.
Current BTC price strength it described as “relatively resilient” given the well-established mid-term trading range.
