Source: CryptoNewsNet Original Title: Bitcoin pushes above $90,000 as traders eye change in pattern Original Link: https://cryptonews.net/news/finance/32218942/ Last year in crypto will be remembered for many things, but one notable trend — particularly late in the year — was the selloffs that occurred nearly every day during U.S. trading hours.

It’s not much to go on just yet, but on 2026’s first official trading day, a change could be afoot as crypto prices are actually rising while American markets are open.

The action has pushed bitcoin above $90,000, up 2.5% over the past 24 hours. Ether, Solana and XRP are seeing advances closer to 4%.

Assets in general are on the rise in the year’s first session, with the Nasdaq higher by 0.6%, led by AI-related chipmakers like Nvidia, Broadcom, Micron and Intel posting 3%-6% gains. Favored commodity play of late, silver has added 3%. Gold and copper are each modestly higher.
