In early 2026, Bitcoin approached $88,700 on the Asian trading floor, Ethereum fluctuated around $3,010, and Cardano ADA increased by 7%. The market showed selective position building, with a softening dollar and a rally in tech stocks driving the rebound, but traders remain cautious.

【Crypto World】In 2026, just at the start, there have been many movements in the Asian trading markets. Bitcoin is approaching the $88,700 mark, with a steady gain of about 1%; Ethereum is fluctuating around $3,010; Cardano’s ADA is even more aggressive, leading the market with a 7% increase.

This wave of market activity doesn’t look like a full-scale surge of altcoins. Data shows that the Altseason Index remains low at 16, which essentially means Bitcoin is still the absolute main player in this market. The market isn’t moving in unison; instead, it is selectively building positions—some coins are favored, while others are met with indifference.

Analysts point out that several factors are driving this rebound: a weakening dollar has given the crypto market a breather, and the simultaneous rise of Asian tech stocks and precious metals has also increased market risk appetite. However, traders still don’t seem fully reassured—after all, the residual effects of the liquidity crunch at the end of 2025 are still present, and everyone is holding a cautious stance.

BTC2,6%

ADA9,28%

ngl, that ADA pump hit different... but like, let me be honest, your portfolio's emotional attachment to altseason is showing some classic denial patterns here 🧠

ADA's recent surge is real, but to be honest, selective building of positions means I still haven't fully trusted it yet. When the dollar softens a bit, it dares to move, so I feel like we need to wait and see how this market develops.

ADA's recent surge really wasn't in vain, but it feels like this round of accumulation is somewhat fragmented. Who dares to hold a heavy position... BTC hovering around 88K just stays like this, only when the dollar weakens do people dare to act.

ADA is starting to perform again. A 7% increase like this, a small correction later and it will all be wiped out. Still, I think BTC is a bit more stable.
