🔍Key Events Friday marked a continuation of the heavy sell-off in the crypto market that began the day before. The main driver is the intensification of macroeconomic and geopolitical risks. Investors are nervously reacting to the potential nomination of Kevin Warsh as the new head of the Federal Reserve, the strengthening of the dollar, and a general flight from risk assets around the world.
The chart shows that we have broken the lower boundary of the ascending channel. If we look more locally, a 'bear flag' pattern has formed. After that, the price returned to test the resistance boundary.
I have marked a trading corridor on my chart. I think we are stuck in it for a long time, and trading will occur within these boundaries. After that, we will go down to the block of orders that I marked in red.
The US Federal Reserve kept the rate at 3.50–3.75% after three consecutive cuts, despite pressure from Donald Trump: he insisted on easing policy, publicly insulted the head of the Federal Reserve System and dubbed him names like 'Mr. “Too Late”', 'Stubborn Mule' and 'Dolt', while at the beginning of the year promising to appoint a new head of the Fed — rumored to be Rick Rieder, a top manager at BlackRock, responsible for about $2.4 trillion in assets. #FederalReserve
Today we will talk about why gold is safety. And why everyone rushes to it in a storm?
When the world is shaken by crises, currencies fluctuate, and markets panic, one asset consistently attracts capital and trust: gold. This is not a coincidence, but the result of a unique combination of properties that makes it a universal 'anchor' for millennia.
🔬 Science of Reliability: four immutable properties
🔍Key events The cryptocurrency market opened the week with a deep decline against the backdrop of a global withdrawal of investors from risky assets. The two main negative drivers were the escalation of political tensions in the USA and a record outflow of funds from exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Traders' concerns are heightened by the risk of a new government shutdown in the USA at the end of the week, undermining stability and forcing investors to reassess their positions in crypto assets.
Strategic Turn of Beijing: from U.S. Bonds to Gold
⚡ What is happening? China is systematically conducting one of the largest operations to rebalance its financial reserves in recent decades. According to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, China has been reducing its investments in U.S. government bonds for nine consecutive months. In November 2025, its portfolio of Treasury bonds reached $682.6 billion — the lowest level since 2008.
I just closed such a large position at $DOGE . I could have held longer, the coin continues to fall, but greed can be detrimental. My trading principles are to always risk the SAME amount and to hold the trade for the maximum amount of time while adjusting the stop, and also when achieving a result of RR 1:2, I take half of the position and set the stop to break-even.
Davos 2026: key takeaways under the slogan 'Spirit of Dialogue'
The World Economic Forum in Davos, which concluded on January 23, 2026, has become one of the most controversial in recent years. The official theme is 'Spirit of Dialogue', however, the forum has turned into a battleground of opinions: political scandals and geopolitical tensions competed with discussions on long-term challenges — the water resources crisis and the development of AI.
💥Network Saga Hack: $7 million in losses and halted chain💥
On January 22, the Saga network urgently halted its EVM chain (SagaEVM) after a major hack. A hacker exploited a vulnerability in a smart contract to withdraw nearly $7 million in USDC and other tokens.
💻What happened and the consequences: The exploit was likely related to a cross-chain bridge or the Saga Dollar stablecoin. This led to the loss of the $D peg to the dollar, falling to $0.75 and a collapse in the total value in the protocol by more than 55%.
👉What’s next: The Saga team is investigating the incident and patching the vulnerability. The mainnet (Saga SSC) is unaffected and operational. A detailed report has been promised.
👌Takeaway for the community: This case once again shows the vulnerability of cross-chain bridges and algorithmic stablecoins. It serves as a reminder of the need for thorough risk analysis before using new protocols.
I always recommend using reliable stablecoins that have proven themselves to some extent. No one is immune to risks, diversify and be cautious😘
💎RISK MANAGEMENT: HOW TO TRADE TO NOT LOSE EVERYTHING💎
You can guess the direction of the market a hundred times, but one mistake in capital management — and you're out of the game. The difference between a gambler and a professional trader is not luck, but in the iron rules that turn chaos into a manageable process. Risk management is the art of losing correctly to stay in the game indefinitely.
Aside from the position on $BTC , I also entered around the same time in $UNI and $SOL . Honestly, I thought I would close the trades during the day, but since it’s a day off in Asashai, there is no volatility. For #solana , I closed the stop at breakeven for part of the position, I’m holding the rest. I’ll wake up in the morning, and if Asia doesn’t provide growth, I will move the stop to breakeven for all coins. America might open with a plunge 🤑
The crypto market started the week with a sharp decline during the morning session on January 19. The main trigger was the escalation of geopolitical tensions between the USA and the European Union. US President Donald Trump announced plans to impose tariffs on imports from eight European countries, including Denmark, with a demand to begin negotiations for the purchase of Greenland. This triggered an immediate market reaction, as similar statements in the past had led to large-scale sell-offs.
