On January 14, news reports indicate that after entering 2026, Chiliz (CHZ) has significantly outperformed most altcoins. Data shows that CHZ has risen approximately 31% in January, with the rally starting from a key breakout in mid-December 2025, when the price surged about 25% in a single day, successfully breaking above the $0.035 resistance level, laying the foundation for subsequent movements.
Overall, the most important recent development for CHZ is its successful reclaiming and stabilization above the key resistance level of $0.05 for several months. From a mid-term structural perspective, this level has repeatedly suppressed the price over the past year; now it has turned into support, indicating a substantial improvement in market supply and demand dynamics, with buyers beginning to take the lead.
On-chain and technical indicators are also strengthening in tandem. The Capital Flow Indicator (CMF) has risen to around 0.17, showing continuous net inflows; the On-Balance Volume (OBV) indicator has broken through the highs from early 2025, reflecting genuine trading volume rather than mere emotional surges. Meanwhile, open interest has nearly doubled over the past three weeks, indicating a significant rebound in market participation and risk appetite.
Comprehensive analysis suggests that CHZ currently does not show clear medium-term bearish signals. As long as the overall crypto market remains stable, the price structure of Chiliz remains bullish. Looking at target zones, if the $0.05 support holds effectively, the price could test $0.067 and the psychological barrier of $0.10 sequentially, which correspond to previous dense supply zones.
However, short-term technical correction risks should still be monitored. The 4-hour chart shows slight divergence between price and momentum indicators, implying a potential pullback if short-term chasing occurs. If the price retraces to the $0.0460 to $0.0495 range and is supported by trading volume, this zone could become a more ideal entry point.
For traders, current strategies lean towards “breakout pullback setup.” As long as the trend remains intact, attention can be paid to the defense around $0.05, with risk controls set below $0.0410 to $0.0428. Overall, Chiliz (CHZ) has demonstrated a clear technical breakout pattern in early 2026, and its subsequent performance remains worth continuous monitoring.

BTC edges up 0.46% in 15 minutes: institutional fund outflows and macro risk-off sentiment in sync drove the move
From 15:00 to 15:15 (UTC) on 2026-04-16, BTC logged a +0.46% return within 15 minutes. The price fluctuated in a range of 73,939.7 to 74,440.0 USDT, with an amplitude of 0.68%. During this time window, market attention increased, short-term volatility intensified, and fund-flow characteristics changed noticeably.
The main driver of this deviation is the continued outflow of large amounts of capital from exchanges. According to on-chain data, in the past 24 hours the net flow was -14,408.84 BTC, mainly concentrated in large transfer ranges of more than $1 million (especially>$10M net outflow -12,987.03 BTC). This shows that institutions and large holders actively reduced their BTC holdings on exchanges, and short-term selling pressure was significantly lowered. Against the backdrop of persistently weak liquidity, with order book depth remaining at a low level for a long time, the price has become more sensitive to medium-sized buy orders—amplifying the impact of even modest inflows on spot market price action.
In addition, macro conditions changed in parallel and produced a synchronized effect: easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East boosted overall market sentiment. International gold prices rose, global equity markets hit new highs, and the market re-evaluated the probability of the Federal Reserve cutting rates within the year, further increasing investor attention to safe-haven assets (including BTC). At the same time, on-chain data indicates that the “whale” trading activity during this phase is at an annual low (>$1M transfers fell to 1,485 transactions). With heavy market wait-and-see sentiment and limited short-term supply, BTC’s responsiveness to sudden buy-side capital was further enhanced.
Investors should be reminded that current market liquidity is still fragile. Insufficient order book depth increases the market’s sensitivity to large capital movements, and short-term volatility may intensify. Going forward, focus on further shifts in on-chain large-fund flows, changes in price action as it breaks through support or resistance regions, and the risks and opportunities brought by related macro policies and geopolitical developments. Please continue to track key data and stay alert to any sudden shocks during the period of abnormal moves.
