What to know : Bitcoin jumped more than 3% on Monday to its highest level since mid-November, nearing the key $95,000 mark. XRP led the crypto rally with a 9% gain after breaking resistance on strong volume. It's a good start to 2026, but bitcoin isn't out of the woods yet, said one analyst.
Bitcoin rose to its highest level since mid-November, gaining more than 3% to $94,400 during Monday’s trading session, the largest percentage advance in more than a month.
The rally, which brought the asset closer to $95,000 — seen by some analysts as a key level to gain further momentum — was led, though, by . After breaking key resistance overnight, XRP added to its move during the U.S. trading day, rising 9% to just shy of $2.32, also the strongest since mid-November.
Crypto-related stocks — many of which saw unrelenting selling late in 2025 — were sharply higher across the board.
Coinbase (COIN), which received an upgrade to buy from Goldman Sachs earlier in the day, was up nearly 9% while Strategy (MSTR) and Robinhood (HOOD) rose 5% and 6%, respectively.
Among some smaller names, Bakkt (BKKT) flew 30% higher, while Figure (FIGR) added 20%. Bitcoin miner Hut 8 (HUT), whose pivot to AI infrastructure paved the way for a significant advance in 2025, was up 15% on Monday, nearly reaching $60 per share. Longtime investors might have the stock's (split-adjusted) 2021 record high of $76 in their sights.
Bitcoin, which fell more than 6% in 2025, may be poised for a comeback in 2026, according to Lukman Otunuga, senior market analyst at FXTM. After a challenging 2025, falling interest rates and a thinning supply of actively traded BTC could create conditions for a recovery, he said, pointing to long-term holders keeping coins off exchanges as a factor that may tighten supply and support prices.
Still, he warns of several headwinds. New tax reporting requirements in the U.S. could dampen retail participation, and regulatory decisions targeting crypto-heavy firms remain a risk. On the technical side, Otunuga says a sustained move above $100,000 could revive record-high ambitions, while a drop below that threshold could leave bitcoin vulnerable to deeper declines, with support levels near $77,500 and $54,000.
