Bitcoin trend indicator turns yellow, CoinDesk 20 index trading volume increases
According to CoinDesk, the Bitcoin Trend Indicator (BTI) turned light green on January 16 and yellow on January 18. Since the BTI turned neutral on January 18, front-end US interest rates have risen by 5 basis points, and the price of Bitcoin has fallen by about 4.5% to $39.5k.
The BTI is an online tool created by CoinDesk subsidiary CoinDesk Indices, designed to help investors assess the trend of Bitcoin prices. The tool generates five possible values representing different directions and strengths of Bitcoin price trends, ranging from a significant decline to a significant increase.
In the past three months since the BTI turned green, the CoinDesk 20 Index has outperformed both Bitcoin and Ethereum by over 1500 basis points and 1200 basis points respectively. The performance of the CoinDesk 20 Index is mainly influenced by its bias towards smaller altcoins, particularly Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX), and Cardano (ADA), which have higher index weights compared to established cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

More and more data centers are being built, but job opportunities for American college students are becoming increasingly scarce.
Although more and more data centers are being built, white-collar employment opportunities have not increased accordingly. According to the latest research by the Dallas Federal Reserve, Texas—the state with the largest data center construction capacity in the U.S.—is experiencing a continued decline in job postings for positions highly exposed to AI, with a drop of about 8% in the first quarter of 2025. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate for recent college graduates has risen to “abnormally high levels.” At the same time, data from the International Labour Organization (ILO) shows that the youth unemployment rate in North America has increased from 8.3% to 9.8%.
