Is the US government about to "shut down completely" again? Bitcoin is directly scared down below 88K!

Today, January 26th, Polymarket prediction market shows: the probability of the US government shutting down before January 31 has skyrocketed to 77-80%! In just a few days, from less than 10%, it suddenly surged. The reason is quite dramatic—the House of Representatives finally passed a funding bill, but the Senate Democrats are collectively threatening to block funds related to DHS (Department of Homeland Security) because of the Minneapolis ICE officer shooting and killing citizen Alex Pretti.

If it doesn't pass? After midnight on January 30, some federal departments will shut down directly!
The impact on the crypto market is already happening:
• Bitcoin has slid from its high and is currently hovering around $87,000, evaporating over a hundred million dollars in market cap within 24 hours.
• The total crypto market cap has evaporated nearly $100 billion in just a few hours (some Chinese media reports even higher, over $300 billion), with long positions liquidated over $600 million.
• Gold, on the other hand, has surged past $5,000, perfectly demonstrating a "risk-avoidance" mode—money all flowing into traditional safe-haven assets, with crypto being sold off as a high-risk asset.

History tells us: the last government shutdown at the end of 2025, lasting 43 days, saw BTC drop directly from 97K to 73K, with altcoins suffering even worse. Although this time is expected to be just a "partial shutdown" + short-term (a few days to weeks), the market is currently in panic mode—institutions are reducing risk first, retail investors are following suit and selling off, liquidity is thinning out instantly.
But, don’t rush to despair!

• Many veterans believe: after the shutdown ends, it often marks the start of a "rebound"—similar to the rally after the last shutdown ended.
• If it’s just a political show that gets resolved in a few days, it could turn into a super buying opportunity—after all, the Fed still has rate decisions this week, and institutions still see BTC’s scarcity as positive in the long run.

The current script is very clear: the Senate vote from January 28-30 is the key battleground.
• Hold above 86K support → just a shakeout
• Break below 85K → short-term panic hits again
