【Exclusive】2026 (Bing Wu Fire Horse Year) Cryptocurrency Feng Shui Guide
Preface Economic cycles? It's like that cigarette in your hand; its burning out is inevitable, but the next puff brings a new kick. Prosperity and recession? It's just the dark humor of this broken world repeating itself. So, this year we didn't go to worship any 'gods' on Wall Street, nor did we believe in the 'ghost stories' of the Federal Reserve. We directly delved into metaphysics. From the method of Luck and Life to Zi Wei Dou Shu, we smashed these algorithms into the singularity of the Bitcoin genesis block to see how periodicity really sways! We attempt to use the ancient codes of the Five Elements and the Nine Palaces Flying Stars to deconstruct the 'energy' of digital assets and hot industries in the market. We predict in advance which track will hide significant dividends next year and which area has major traps. This book (2026 Cryptocurrency Feng Shui Guide) is not a soup that will make you rich overnight. It is a rusty dragon-slaying ruler that helps you navigate fortune and misfortune during this cycle.
📌 Core Signal 1. Bitcoin's Short-Term Outlook Current Price: $96,601.1 (↑1.54%) Market Structure: The top risk from yesterday has been resolved through a healthy 'soft deleveraging.' Key signals include: 1) Excessive retail trading activity has returned to a 'neutral' level; 2) A massive net outflow of -17.88k BTC has occurred on exchanges, indicating strong spot accumulation and hoarding behavior, significantly reducing selling pressure. Although whales remain active in both spot and derivatives markets, overall trading volume has 'cooled,' suggesting the market needs consolidation before a potential upward move.
The U.S. Senate voted on a resolution opposing further military action by Trump against Venezuela, with Vice President Vance casting the deciding vote to break a tie, ultimately preventing the resolution from passing.
Previously, Trump pressured some Republican lawmakers to shift their stance, and several Republican members who had initially supported the resolution changed their positions. The resolution was initiated by Democrats, stemming from a U.S. military raid that captured Venezuelan leader Maduro without sufficient consultation with Congress, while Republicans stalled the bill on the grounds that the U.S. is not engaged in ongoing hostile operations.
The Fed controversy escalates further! On January 15, Trump firmly responded to Republican lawmakers who oppose the nomination of a new Fed chair to preserve central bank independence, stating, "I don't care; they should remain loyal."
In response to JPMorgan CEO Dimon's warning that interfering with the Fed could fuel inflation, Trump retorted, "I don't care." Earlier, investigations into Powell by the Department of Justice faced widespread criticism as political pressure, and although Trump currently has no plan to fire Powell, he has already identified two potential successors.
The struggle over central bank independence is intensifying, and financial market stability is facing a severe test.
Breaking news from the Solana ecosystem: the total value of its real-world assets (RWA) has broken through the $1 billion mark, setting a new all-time high.
Data shows the decentralized asset value in the ecosystem reached $1.14 billion, up 23.99% over the past 30 days; the number of RWA holders has increased to 132,700, a 17.25% rise in 30 days; asset transfer volume over the past 30 days reached $168 million, up 33.29%
Famous moments of public feuds! Solana fires up Starknet
Solana's official tweet directly attacks: Starknet has only 8 daily active users and 10 daily transactions, yet boasts a market cap of $100 million and a FDV of $1.5 billion, mocking its inflated valuation.
Starknet's community fights back with a gorilla holding back laughter meme, subtly mocking Solana's past history of user attrition due to performance issues.
This round of back-and-forth is not just a battle for ecosystem attention, but also exposes the current state of the crypto market where 'narrative > data'.
Supreme Court delays twice! Trump's tariff ruling remains undecided, final verdict on January 16
The U.S. Supreme Court has postponed the ruling on the legality of Trump's tariff policy for the second time this year, with the final outcome expected to be revealed on January 16.
The core dispute centers on whether the president can impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Previous lower courts ruled the policy illegal. Polymarket data shows the market bets on a 31% chance the Supreme Court will support Trump, while crypto traders generally expect the tariffs to be ruled invalid—last year this policy caused Bitcoin to drop to $74,000.
Trump warns that an invalid ruling could lead to trillions in compensation, while the White House has prepared alternative legal plans. If the tariffs are ultimately overturned, it could ease inflationary pressures and pave the way for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, marking a critical turning point for global trade and the crypto market.
📌Core Signal 1. Short-term Bitcoin price movement Current price: $95,036 (↑2.94%) Market structure: Technical indicators at high levels show extreme polarization in bull-bear competition, with top risks rapidly accumulating. On one hand, large whale buy orders continue in the spot market, providing support, and long-term (90-day) buying pressure remains solid. On the other hand, multiple strong reversal warning signals have emerged: 1) Retail spot trading frequency has surged dramatically, a typical characteristic of historical阶段性 peaks; 2) Both spot and futures market trading volumes show a 'cooling' state, indicating exhaustion of upward momentum;
ANZ Bank says the outlook for gold and silver in 2026 is optimistic, with gold prices expected to break through USD 5,000 per ounce in the second half of the year. Factors driving gold prices higher include geopolitical tensions, concerns about the independence of the Federal Reserve, and the lack of fiscal discipline in the United States; silver is supported by tight physical supply and strong industrial demand, with potential relief in supply pressures due to U.S. import tariff exemptions.
Trump family's crypto venture stirs controversy, senator calls for pause on trust bank application
The trust bank license application linked to World Liberty, in which the Trump family holds approximately 40% ownership, has been halted by Democratic Senator Warren. Warren wrote to regulators, clearly stating that Trump has not divested his interests in this digital asset business. If the license is approved, regulatory rules would directly impact the profitability of his affiliated companies, creating a serious conflict of interest.
Notably, the previously passed GENIUS Act did not address such issues, and the upcoming Senate draft legislation on crypto market structure also currently lacks relevant government ethics provisions.
This conflict of interest controversy undoubtedly adds further uncertainty to U.S. crypto regulatory legislation.
The Race for the Fed Chair Heats Up! BlackRock Executive Calls for a 3% Rate Cut, Candidate Probability Rises to 9%
The Fed Leadership Uncertainty Intensifies! BlackRock's Chief Investment Officer, Rick Rieder, will meet with Trump on Thursday, aiming for the Fed Chair position, with Kalshi data showing his election probability has reached 9%.
This top contender has boldly called for a 50-basis-point rate cut, reducing the current rate of 3.5%-3.75% to a neutral level of 3%, stating it can stabilize the economy and ease credit conditions.
Coinciding with Trump's persistent pressure for rate cuts and Powell's ongoing investigation, Rieder's call for rate cuts aligns perfectly with the White House's preferences. If he takes office, could the crypto market receive a major liquidity boost?
Trump urges Powell to cut rates! BTC surges above $92,000, but Fed likely to hold steady
U.S. December CPI rose 2.7% year-on-year, with core inflation easing. Trump posted to urge Powell to make a significant rate cut, warning that delay would harm the economy and increase borrowing costs.
Expectations for rate cuts boosted Bitcoin to above $92,000, but CME FedWatch data shows a 95% probability the Fed will keep rates unchanged in January.
The Fed emphasizes the need for more signals of cooling inflation, and Morgan Stanley has also lowered its rate cut expectations.

Trump Family's Cryptobank Dream: A New Experiment of Power and Capital
On January 7, 2026, World Liberty Financial, a company under the Trump family, submitted an application to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to establish the first National Trust Bank directly linked to a presidential family. This is not a commercial expansion of a stablecoin project, but an experiment in the infiltration of political power into financial infrastructure. How can political power be transformed into privileged access to finance, and how can a banking license create a permanent channel for power monetization. I. Banking License: The Precise Calculation of Permanent Charter
The Trump family's decision to apply for a National Trust Bank license, rather than issuing a Meme coin or endorsing an NFT project, reflects a profound logic of power. Meme coins are a one-time monetization of attention, while stablecoin companies are merely ordinary commercial entities. But a National Trust Bank is not just a participant in the financial system—it is an integral part of the financial system itself.
Hayden Adams, founder of Uniswap, is firing up! He openly criticizes celebrities and politicians exploiting blockchain for profit through fraud—truly foolish.
He calls out: You don't need a Rug Pull to exploit investors—maintain liquidity pools, offer benefits to holders, and disclose trading risks, and you can still achieve compliant monetization.
Remember, blockchain transactions are fully transparent across the network—fraud cannot be hidden! Millions of users are already using on-chain tools, and real-world applications are taking shape—don't ruin the industry's reputation!

Trump vs. Powell! Crypto Traders Bet Fed Chair Won't Be Prosecuted
Trump pressures for rate cuts, DOJ investigation ongoing, Fed Chair Powell is embroiled in controversy. But the crypto market is clear — Polymarket data shows the probability of Powell facing criminal charges before June is only 12%, with traders collectively betting on no prosecution.
Powell says the investigation is politically motivated, with the core issue being the Fed's refusal to lower rates per the president's wishes. With the FOMC meeting approaching, interest rates may stay unchanged. Will this political and economic showdown affect crypto market liquidity? What do you think?
US SEC Chair Paul Atkins said it is not yet determined whether the US will seize the reportedly held $60 billion (about 600,000) bitcoins by Venezuela, and this decision is not under SEC's responsibility. The current holdings of related cryptocurrencies have not been verified by blockchain analysis firms. Additionally, the Senate Banking Committee is scheduled to review the Digital Asset Market Transparency Bill on Thursday this week, but the bill may be delayed due to midterm election factors.
Gold Surges Past $4,600! Bitcoin Approaching the $90,000 Mark, Will It Rally to $100,000?
Geopolitical Tensions Shatter the Precious Metals Market! Escalating Iran Situation + Trump's Remarks on Venezuela Trigger a Surge in Gold to a New All-Time High of $4,600, as Risk-Off Capital Floods In.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin has firmly held support at $90,000, with analysts stating, 'Bitcoin has historically lagged behind gold’s rise, but a strong rebound is likely next.' A breakthrough above $94,500 could propel it toward $100,000, though short-term ETF outflows add uncertainty.
While Traditional Safe-Haven Assets Roar, Will the King of Crypto Take the Lead in the Next Rally?
