Bitcoin (BTC) continued to show mixed but overall positive momentum against the US Dollar (USD) on Sunday, January 18, 2026, as the world’s largest cryptocurrency traded near recent highs amid ongoing market volatility.
According to the latest data, 1 Bitcoin was valued at USD 95,147.34, marking a marginal daily increase of USD 18.64, or 0.02%, compared to the previous day. While the daily movement remained modest, Bitcoin’s broader performance over the past week highlights notable gains.
Over the last seven days, Bitcoin recorded a cumulative increase of USD 3,971.43, reflecting renewed investor interest despite intermittent pullbacks. BTC surged sharply between January 12 and January 14, when it climbed from around USD 91,176 to nearly USD 96,946, driven by strong buying pressure. However, profit-taking later in the week led to mild corrections on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday before prices stabilized on Sunday.
On a monthly basis, Bitcoin’s performance has been even stronger. Compared to December 19, 2025, when BTC was trading near USD 88,236, the cryptocurrency has gained USD 6,910.88, representing a 7.26% increase over the last 30 days.
Market analysts note that Bitcoin’s steady recovery reflects growing institutional interest, expectations around monetary policy shifts, and sustained demand from long-term holders. Investors are advised to monitor price movements closely, as short-term fluctuations remain a key feature of the crypto market.
