SOL, LINK, OM, and RAY flash bullish signs as Bitcoin traders wait for BTC’s next move

Bitcoin trades in a predictable range while SOL, LINK, OM and RAY look ready to rally higher.

Bitcoin (BTC) has been relatively quiet over the weekend, indicating that the bulls and the bears are not waging a large bet on a directional move. “The market sees limited upside for the asset in the short term, likely due to the absence of a specific BTC reserve announcement,” said onchain options protocol Derive founder Nick Forster in a Jan. 25 analyst note viewed by Cointelegraph.

A more bullish projection came from CryptoQuant contributor IT Tech, who said in a Jan. 24 analyst note that Bitcoin long-term Bitcoin holders (LTH) — those who have held their Bitcoin for more than 155 days — continued to buy on declines and short-term holders bought during rallies. That makes IT Tech bullish on Bitcoin over the next 12 months

The release of DeepSeek R1 shatters long-held assumptions about AI

According to the DeepSeek research paper, the project took only $6 million to train, and it performs on par with leading AI models.

The release of DeepSeek R1 — an open-source artificial intelligence large-language model — has caught the world by surprise and shattered long-held assumptions about AI development.

According to venture capitalist Nic Carter, the release of the AI model, which was developed in China, dispelled notions that the country would only produce closed-source AI, and has eroded Silicon Valley's perceived advantages over global competitors.

Carter added that DeepSeek is evidence that OpenAI does not have an unbeatable moat and that assumptions about scaling, value accrual in AI models, and development costs were also dispelled by the development.

BTC traders see ‘limited upside’ in short-term after SBR twist — Analyst

The absence of “concrete actions” from the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve has options traders dialing back their near-term bullish outlook, according to a crypto analyst.

A crypto analyst says the Trump administration’s executive order to evaluate a digital asset stockpile, rather than a Bitcoin-specific Strategic Reserve, has dampened short-term bullish expectations for Bitcoin.

“The market sees limited upside for the asset in the short term, likely due to the absence of a specific BTC reserve announcement,” onchain options protocol Derive founder Nick Forster said in a Jan. 25 analyst note viewed by Cointelegraph.

Forster cited Derive platform’s “staggering” 83.3% of Bitcoin options contracts on Jan. 24 being “calls sold” — which is when traders sell call options expecting Bitcoin’s (BTC) price to stay the same or decline.
