Many investors choose to wait for "safe" signals when a bull market arrives, but in doing so, they miss opportunities and face losses. The falsehood of the market lies in the fact that seemingly stable high-level ranges often hide the greatest risks; the truly dangerous moment is when most people believe "it's safe." Investors should recognize that the pattern of expected buying and actual selling only works if they have the courage to enter during confusion, in order to avoid becoming victims of the market.

This move signals a new trend in asset allocation among Asian companies, creating an invisible competitive pressure on local currencies.

The US Fear Index VIX rose to a nearly eight-week high of 20.69 on Tuesday, reflecting market caution towards risk. Experts believe this is a routine risk adjustment, with investors shifting towards safe-haven assets such as gold and cash.

U.S. Secretary of Commerce Lutnick recommends supporting the economy through a rate cut policy, expecting to lower borrowing costs, encourage young homebuyers to enter the housing market, and thereby stabilize the real estate market. He anticipates that if a 100 basis point interest rate adjustment is implemented, U.S. economic growth could reach 6%. However, the effectiveness of the policy still needs to be assessed based on the global economic situation and other macro factors.

Franklin Bi of Pantera Capital pointed out that the future competition in data security has begun, focusing on adaptive upgrades for the quantum era. Traditional finance faces complex challenges and struggles to reform quickly, while blockchain demonstrates adaptive advantages due to its decentralized nature, enabling rapid system upgrades. If some blockchains can adapt during critical periods, they will become a "harbor" for data security, attracting users and capital. In contrast, traditional finance may be marginalized.

Bitcoin and Ethereum face market uncertainty, technical weakness, and news pressure stacking up. BTC needs to hold the 90800 support level; otherwise, it may test lower. ETH is fluctuating between 3054 and 3157; a break below indicates market pressure. The US government shutdown crisis increases, and liquidity may be affected. Whales holding large assets remain confident, while mid-sized whales are reducing their holdings, indicating market concerns. This period is a critical time for seeking long-term opportunities.

Recent major security incidents have occurred consecutively in the DeFi ecosystem, with Saga and Makina being hacked for $7 million and $5 million respectively, highlighting the increasing security challenges. Technical vulnerabilities and governance flaws intertwine, causing the security defenses of DeFi protocols to be breached. Additionally, Ethereum's Fusaka upgrade has led to increased transaction volume but has also raised more security concerns. Governance vulnerabilities increase risks, and investors should exercise caution. High returns come with high risks, and attention should be paid to audit reports and technical design.

Germany begins to repatriate 1236 tons of gold from the United States, reflecting doubts about the credibility of the US dollar and marking a shift in the global financial landscape. Central banks around the world are accelerating their gold reserves, and the de-dollarization trend is becoming more evident. At the same time, this upheaval presents new opportunities for the development of cryptocurrencies, and the future market value storage methods may be reshaped.

Common misconceptions include greedily adding positions, frequent trading, blindly copying trades, and lack of stop-loss discipline.

Additionally, after liquidation, attention should be paid to liquidation fees, which may increase losses. Understanding risks and self-discipline are the keys to survival.

In the summer of 2014, a young Russian programming genius came to Hangzhou, China. At industry exhibitions, he did not hesitate to distribute 5,000 digital tokens to people, hoping to introduce his revolutionary ideas. However, most people think he is dreaming, and only a few are willing to listen. Ten years later, this batch of tokens, which were originally considered garbage, appreciated to $1.5 billion - this is the Ethereum (ETH) that later became popular around the world, and that young man was Vitalik Buterin. From a skeptical fledgling to the undisputed leader of the blockchain world, the story of Vitalik and Ethereum is far more complex and exciting than Bitcoin.

After a short-term golden cross signal appeared for Dogecoin recently, the price retreated from $0.1516 to $0.12, a decline of 4.66%. The meme coin market as a whole is weakening, and most cryptocurrencies have failed to maintain their upward momentum. The current support level at $0.1463 has become critical. Even though there is short-term upward momentum, weak liquidity and changing market conditions make the future trend uncertain, and traders should exercise caution.

January 2026 in Tehran, the black market price of the Rial against the US dollar has plummeted to 1,470,000:1 — behind this astronomical figure is the complete collapse of Iran's sovereign credit. What is even more noteworthy is that, in this financial crisis, the surge in the USDT exchange rate contrasts sharply with the devaluation of the Rial. Ordinary Iranians are using offshore USDT exchange rates as a tool for preserving value, reflecting a fundamental phenomenon: when the fiat currency system completely loses trust, decentralized crypto assets become the last lifeline.
The latest US government sanctions signals against Iran — especially President Trump’s "rescue" declaration on Truth Social — are accelerating this process. But what is truly alarming is that Iran is not passively disintegrating under economic pressure, but actively building a parallel "wartime financial system" based on digital assets. The hallmark of this shift is the formal adoption by the Department of Defense

In early 2026, the Ethereum ecosystem exhibits a contradictory situation: fundamentals reaching new highs but Ether prices remaining flat. Staking total exceeds $120 billion, but centralization risks are emerging. Vitalik proposed a native DVT solution to address this issue. TVL surpasses $300 billion, with stablecoins supporting the Ether ecosystem. Despite record-breaking trading volume, price performance is poor due to "dust attacks." Declining mainnet revenue affects deflationary expectations, and Ether is severely undervalued. Moving forward, a balance must be struck between decentralization, technological advantages, and value capture.
