Who is the next chairman of the Federal Reserve? A deep dive into the transfer of power: Kevin Warsh - 'the reshaper of the Federal Reserve' in Trump's eyes.
On January 30, 2026, President Trump officially nominated Kevin Warsh as the next chairman of the Federal Reserve, and this news instantly ignited the global financial markets. The odds on Polymarket indicated that Warsh's probability of nomination soared to over 99%, almost locking in the victory. Here is my in-depth analysis of this significant geopolitical and economic event: As Jerome Powell's term comes to an end, Trump ultimately chose Kevin Warsh, who was once referred to as the 'youngest governor of the Federal Reserve.' This choice not only signifies a personnel change but also foreshadows a fundamental restructuring of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy logic.

The Evolution Sample of USDD: Why is it said to be tearing apart the 'stock gap' in the stablecoin sector?
Recently, the TVL of USDD has surpassed 1 billion dollars.
In this cryptocurrency market, which easily reaches hundreds of billions or even trillions, the figure of 1 billion may not seem earth-shattering at first glance. However, as a long-term observer of DeFi currency Lego, I believe this number signals a paradigm shift that most people have overlooked, both for USDD and for the entire stablecoin sector.
If we strip away the PR rhetoric from the project side, what we are witnessing through the transformation of USDD over the past year is, in fact, a 'silent revolution.' This revolution has only three key phrases: refusal to freeload, demystifying technology, and real voting with one's feet.
Bengbu is difficult, $XAU #贵金属巨震 Let's find another opportunity to enter, didn't sleep all night, looks like the market will drop again tonight The market is always right, eight hundred directions in a day
Brothers, are we getting on? After experiencing an 'epic' pullback from the historical high of $120, silver is currently in a consolidation phase around $85.
Practical review: 📍 Current position: Entering long around an average price of 84.6. 📍 Extreme operation: Activated 100X ultra-high leverage! This means that a 1% fluctuation is the difference between heaven and hell. 📍 Risk warning: The liquidation price is firmly held at 81.32; if the stop-loss is set at 84.0, the ROI instantly becomes -78% (loss of about 150u). With 100x leverage, the margin for error is almost zero!
I have to take a gamble; turning a bicycle into a motorcycle. My logic is as follows:
1️⃣ Funding rates suggest 'short crowding': Binance XAG's expected funding rate has reached an astonishing -0.35%! This means that shorts are paying longs, and extreme bearishness in the market is often a precursor to a rebound.
2️⃣ The supply gap for silver in 2026 remains a hard support. In the short term, the support at $85 is strong, while the medium-term target looks towards the $100 recovery level. #xagusdt #贵金属巨震 $XAG
Note: Brothers, just watch my performance; please don't follow, I won’t be responsible if you lose 😂
• Short term (within a few weeks): If the price can stabilize and digest the decline at the end of January, a technical pullback may occur in mid to late February.
• Medium term (second quarter of 2026): As the macroeconomic data in spring becomes clearer, if inflation is controlled and liquidity improves, the market may welcome a more scaled trend rebound.
Bitcoin has just retraced near 78,010, this position is currently the only psychological support point. Upper resistance: The first resistance level is at 79,738 (EMA 7); if it cannot return to the 80,000 mark, it still needs to be washed, and it is said that it will take half a year to wash. I mentioned in the group a few months ago that it would reach 60,000 in June. Are you ready to buy the dip? #CZ币安广场AMA $BTC
Breaking news! 1. Gold (XAU/USDT): Key support level lost
Breaking news!#贵金属巨震 " data-hashtag="#贵金属巨震 " class="tag">#贵金属巨震 # 1. Gold (XAU/USDT): Key support level lost Price Action: Gold has plummeted from around $5,625 and has now fallen below $4,800, with a decline of -10.78%. This is considered an extreme 'Black Swan' event in gold trading. Technical Form: On the 1-hour chart, the K-line shows an accelerated plunge, completely breaking through the three EMA (7/25/99) moving averages. The originally predicted strong support level of $5,000 has been violently breached, indicating that the long margin call has already occurred. Indicator Alert: RSI(6) has dropped to 13.59, indicating extreme oversold conditions. Typically, this suggests a technical bounce may occur, but under the current geopolitical pressure, oversold does not necessarily mean a bottom is imminent.
On the 25th of the Year of the Fire Snake, the strong movement of gold and non-ferrous metals is due to the influence of the Metal element, which is referred to as true gold refined by fire.
On the 26th of the Year of the Fire Horse, the fire element is too strong. This will lead to an over-refinement of gold and non-ferrous metals, causing a necessary correction, especially during the summer, which will likely see a significant downturn. Therefore, those looking to make quick profits and not interested in the long term, especially individuals with heart conditions, should exit the market early. $BTC
After reading the open letter from Binance's official Twitter, I have a few words to say
The industry has reached this scale today, and Binance's fluctuations actually represent the fluctuations of the industry. In response to community feedback and market concerns, the best response is not to engage in verbal disputes, but to ensure transparency. This is the SAFU public address: etherscan.io/address/0x420e…
Here are a few details worth noting:
1️⃣ The SAFU fund heavily invests in $BTC: gradually converting a reserve of 1 billion USD into Bitcoin. This is not only a show of confidence but also sincerity—if the price fluctuations cause the fund to fall below 800 million, Binance promises to make up the difference. This kind of “dynamic replenishment” protection shows that CZ and the team are quite sincere~
2️⃣ Helping users with “aftermath”: recovering over 38,000 erroneous asset transactions throughout the year. To be honest, this kind of thankless task can only be sustained by major companies that have the motivation and resources. I have also often sought customer service for resolving erroneous transactions, and the efficiency is very high, no exaggeration.
3️⃣ Security moat: Assisting in intercepting nearly 6.7 billion USD in fraud losses. In the Web3 space, surviving long is more important than running fast. (Last year, a platform on Solana went bankrupt, and after some friends tracked down the project, the tokens were transferred to Binance, and then I managed to recover my loss of 3 Sol through Binance customer service~)
The industry is being scrutinized by the outside world through leading platforms. During periods of market pressure, the community needs to see specific risk hedging solutions like SAFU asset adjustments, rather than just verbal commitments.
This transformation from a “single trading service provider” to an “industry infrastructure” role is a necessary stage in the industry’s maturation. I can feel the determination of the team~
Recently, we have noticed discussions about Binance in the community, and we understand the emotions and concerns expressed by some users in the current market environment. During periods of industry volatility and market pressure, as Binance has developed to its current scale, the fluctuations in the industry reflect the fluctuations of Binance. Discussions about the industry reflect the challenges that the cryptocurrency industry must face in its journey towards maturity. As the industry scale expands and its structure becomes increasingly complex, the market demands higher standards for platform governance, risk control, and accountability. Binance is no longer just a single player; the industry is being recognized and accepted through us. Because of this, we must hold ourselves to higher standards, and with an open attitude and approach, continuously face evaluations and feedback from different perspectives.
Will hold another Binance Square livestream AMA in English tomorrow at 8pm-ish GMT+4 (Dubai time).
- will invite audiences on stage semi-randomly. (Heard the product improved to see tippers, sorting, etc. will test it out live.) - one question per person, keep it succinct - welcome suggestions and feedback - might give a prize for best suggestion afterwards
All tips will go to Giggle Academy. Received $28,000 from last session.🙏😆
The escalation of the US-Iran conflict directly triggered turmoil in global markets
The latest developments regarding the situation in Iran have reached the highest level of tension in recent years. The escalation of the US-Iran conflict from January 29 to 30, 2026, directly triggered turmoil in global markets. Here are several key news points that led to the market's 'flash crash' and increased volatility: 1. Trump issues threat of 'rapid violence' strikes * Continued pressure: President Trump issued an ultimatum to Iran through social media and public speeches over three consecutive days from January 26 to 28, demanding that they return to the negotiating table to discuss their nuclear program.
Regarding the recent "flash crash" pullback after gold broke through $5,600, the current market sentiment is at a transitional point from "extreme greed" to "rational return".
⚠️ Several key support levels need to be noted:
1. Short-term first line of defense: $5,200 - $5,240 Psychological and technical resonance: This is the first strong support after the flash crash. $5,200 is a key psychological level after the breakout on Wednesday (January 28).
Support logic: If the gold price can stabilize here, it indicates that the market's sell-off mainly stems from short-term profit-taking and not a reversal of the long-term trend.
2. Intermediate line of demarcation: $5,000 - $5,040 Core observation point: This is the most iconic support range at the beginning of 2026.
Support logic: Psychological level: $5,000 is a very strong round number and is also the "hitting zone" for many institutions to re-enter the market.
Fibonacci retracement: Considering the recent price increase, this is an important Fibonacci retracement position.
Institutional cost: The cost zone of large physical gold purchases and ETF inflows in mid-January is concentrated around this area. If it breaks below this level, the "bull market" for gold may turn into a "broad fluctuation".
3. Extreme pullback bottom line: $4,800 - $4,860
Strong defense: This is the "starting jump board" before the current parabolic rise. Support logic: If the gold price dips to this level, it usually indicates that market liquidity is facing systemic risk (such as forced liquidation caused by a stock market crash). In this range, central banks (especially the "de-dollarization" camp) may strategically accumulate at the bottom in batches.
> Special reminder: Considering the Federal Reserve's latest hawkish stance and the potential impact of the December PPI data, the volatility of gold prices (VIX) is currently very high. It is recommended to strictly set dynamic take-profit/stop-loss levels when participating to prevent abnormal spikes during liquidity shortages. #美国伊朗对峙 $XAU
Gold Breaks Historical High Again: Is This a Crack in the Old Order or the Starting Gun for New Wealth?
#金价再冲高位 Article by [Mao Mao Jie] Just now, the gold market has once again sounded the breaking of the ceiling. That strong upward candlestick on the chart pierced through the long-standing psychological resistance level like a sharp sword. When you’re staring at the constantly fluctuating numbers on the screen or watching the overwhelming 'witnessing history' on social media, your mood might be complicated: Half of it is relief—if you have assets, it’s a pleasure of asset appreciation; for example, I bought 60 grams of gold bars at a price of 200 over ten years ago—now it feels very happy— But more of it is a kind of anxiety—if you are out of the market or holding a small position, there’s a panic of 'this train has completely left me behind.'
Gold and Silver Direction Judgment: Continue to Surge or Reach a Temporary Peak?
Standing at the end of January 2026, if a directional choice must be made: My judgment: There is a short-term risk of "overexpansion," but the overall trend is far from peaking (more inclined towards "continuing to surge, but accompanied by intense market corrections").
• Reason 1: Silver's Rebound and Decoupling. The silver breakout above 100 dollars reflects not only a safe-haven demand but also an extreme shortage of industrial demand (photovoltaics, AI computing infrastructure). The volatility of silver often signals a period of market "frenzy," and such a surge usually overshoots until all short sellers completely disappear.
• Reason 2: Transfer of Pricing Power. The force currently driving gold prices has shifted from "U.S. Treasury yields" to "Asian physical premiums." As long as central banks' purchasing trends do not cease, each pullback in gold will be seen as a "buying opportunity," rather than the beginning of a crash.
• Reason 3: Target Price Adjustment. Currently, institutions such as Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan have raised their target prices for the end of 2026 to $5400 - $6000. Technically, gold has just entered the "price discovery" phase, with no historical resistance above.
Risk Warning: The current overbought indicators for gold and silver have reached historical extremes. If you want to enter the market out of "panic," please make sure to enter in batches, as such levels of surges are often accompanied by intraday "death-level pullbacks" of 5%-10% to clear leverage.
In-depth Review of River: Why I Sold at a Loss of 160,000
Preface: In the past few days, the price K-line of $RIVER has felt like a thorn, piercing my heart. Because I couldn't understand the project's "suspicious operations," and due to the community's FUD, I cleared all my chips at the bottom of $3. Two days later, it surged to over $20. I paid 60,000 U in tuition to obtain this in-depth autopsy report on self-awareness, position management, and project tracking. If you've ever sold at a loss, please read it. 👇 1/ Event Review: On November 9, 2025, a tweet announcement from the project party instantly sparked heated discussions in the market. The gist of the tweet is: "Starting now, the points redemption channel will be closed, and a more suitable redemption plan will be researched to prevent large holders from crashing the market."
What is the core driving force behind the surge in gold and silver? Why now?
If past fluctuations were 'waves,' the current market is a 'tsunami.' Its core driving force is not a single factor but the confluence of three forces:
• The 'crack' in the global credit system (core underlying logic): For a long time, the global reserve system centered around U.S. Treasuries has been undergoing a reputation reconstruction. With the continuous expansion of U.S. Treasury debt and the 'de-dollarization' wave triggered by geopolitical factors, central banks (especially those of China, India, and other countries) have transitioned from mere holders of gold to 'gold seekers.' When sovereign nations begin to significantly convert their foreign exchange reserves into physical gold, it is the most straightforward 'vote of no confidence' against fiat currency.
• The 'vicious cycle' of inflation and debt: Although the Federal Reserve tries to control interest rates, the tariff policies and global supply chain restructuring since 2025 have caused persistent secondary inflation. Investors realize that in a high-debt environment, it is difficult for real interest rates to remain positive for long. Gold, as the ultimate asset that 'does not yield but resists inflation,' has seen its pricing power shift from financial derivatives back to physical demand.
• Why 'now'? This is a critical point effect. After gold broke through $4,000 at the end of 2025, it triggered a massive short covering and a crazy influx of trend-following CTA funds. Additionally, the sudden escalation of geopolitical tensions (such as U.S.-Europe trade frictions and ongoing turmoil in the Middle East) at the beginning of 2026 has shifted the market from 'allocating gold' to 'panic hoarding of gold.' #代币化白银热潮
