📊 Volatile week in the crypto market and upcoming major events
The cryptocurrency market will end a volatile week, with Bitcoin closing near its previous level, while some altcoins recorded notable gains.
The new week brings economic events that could strongly move the market:
🔹 Tuesday, January 13: U.S. inflation data (monthly and yearly) CPI. 🔹 Wednesday, January 14: PPI data and release of the Federal Beige Book report. 🔹 Thursday, January 15: Senate review of the Crypto Market Structure Act + unemployment claims data.
⚠️ Heads up, caution is required, especially with rising geopolitical tensions, please stay alert.
Currency $NEAR recorded a 5.7% increase after the opening of the US market, reaching $1.73 before facing a sell-off that brought it back near $1.67. The rise lacked strong trading volume to confirm real accumulation, suggesting short-term retail interest. Currently, the currency is trading in the $1.67–1.70 range, characterized by the presence of moving averages (EMA). Failure to break above $1.73–1.74 confirms entry into a consolidation phase. Breaking below this range could push the currency down to the $1.60 support level, a crucial area where the currency should rebound. Conversely, an upward breakout would require strong and sustained volume.
📊 Analysis of $SOL - Comprehensive Overview of This Currency
Despite most cryptocurrencies declining today, Solana managed to surpass yesterday's price. On the short-term chart, the price is trading near a crucial support level at $139.60, and in the absence of a rebound, we might see a correction toward the range of $137–$138. On the daily chart, the outlook leans negative; a long upper wick on the candlestick may open the way for testing $130 by the end of the week. In the medium term, attention remains focused on the $144 level. A close above it could trigger a move toward $150–$160 before month-end.
🚨 Important Reminder: Tomorrow US CPI Data Release 🇺🇸
Tomorrow is a critical day for the markets, as inflation data (CPI) will be released—the most important indicator the Federal Reserve uses when making interest rate decisions. Currently, the probability exceeds 90% that the Federal Reserve will not cut interest rates this month.
🔹 If CPI comes in below expectations, the scenario could shift and increase the chances of a rate cut, which would be very positive for crypto, and we might see a sharp surge, especially if the drop is significant. 🔹 On the other hand, if CPI comes in above expectations, it will put downward pressure on the market and confirm that rate cuts will be delayed for a longer period.
📌 A very sensitive day, especially given the ongoing tensions between Powell and Trump, and generally between the Federal Reserve and the US government.
📉📈 Follow me daily for all news and events affecting the crypto market.
U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the United States might be forced to repay hundreds of billions, and possibly trillions of dollars, if the Supreme Court rules the tariffs previously imposed as illegal. Trump described the scenario as chaotic and said paying these amounts would be nearly impossible for the U.S. economy.
📅 The ruling is expected by Wednesday, and markets are closely watching. Any negative decision could pressure the dollar, stocks, and crypto, so stay cautious.
The privacy coin $XMR has officially risen to $616, achieving its highest price ever, surpassing the 2021 peak of $518. This strong surge came as liquidity shifted from Zcash to Monero following disputes within the community $ZEC , with Zcash dropping by more than 25% over the past week.

🔍 $AT inside accumulation zone for a while and the big move is approaching
Currency $AT has been moving within a narrow range between 0.1630 and 0.1580 for weeks, which is a clear sign of accumulation zones. Historically, this currency is known for very strong movements after breaking out of accumulation zones.
🔹 If 0.1630 is broken and confirmed above, a strong upward move toward 0.1770 is likely. 🔻 A break below 0.1580 could open the way for a drop toward 0.14.
Keep a close eye on $AT , the strong move might be closer than we expect. 📈📉
🚨 $PENGU Exciting movements, is there a larger consolidation forming? 📈🚀
$PENGU is currently trading near a strong support zone at 0.01200. On the 4-hour and daily timeframes, the EMA 50 is positioned near 0.01180, and candles are still closing above it, reflecting clear buying strength and buyers actively defending this level.
On smaller timeframes, positive divergences on RSI may indicate a potential reversal from these levels.
Trading Plan: Entry: 0.01200 – 0.01210 TP1: 0.01285 TP2: 0.01390 Stop Loss: The trade is invalidated if the 4H or daily candle closes below 0.01180.
👀 Keep a close eye on the currency, especially with rising news about ETFs this week.
$POL is witnessing a health correction towards the 0.15 area after a strong rise exceeding 50%, driven by the Wyoming news that enhanced institutional credibility and boosted investor interest. On the 15-minute timeframe, clear reversal signals with Bullish Divergence appear, supporting the recovery scenario as long as the price holds this zone.
📉 Bitcoin under pressure amid safe-haven dominance
As Europe session begins, $BTC drops from its Asian session high of $92,000 to near $90,000, erasing its daily gains and turning negative. Pressure mounts as tensions between Jerome Powell and Trump persist, prompting investors to avoid risk.
In contrast, safe-haven assets shine brightly: 🥇 Gold hits a new all-time high at $4,600 per ounce 🥈 Silver surges over 5% to $85, recording a new all-time high
Today, gold and silver are the two highest-valued assets globally by market capitalization. With geopolitical tensions rising, investors are clearly seeking safety and avoiding risk. So, everyone, stay cautious in the coming days, take advantage of upward movements, and lock in your profits.
📊 Spot ETF data sends a warning signal from institutions
Last week's data from Spot ETFs showed strong outflows from the market, reflecting a cautious sentiment among institutional investors. ETFs $BTC recorded a net outflow of $681 million, despite BlackRock's IBIT seeing limited positive inflows. The biggest pressure came from FBTC and GBTC with significant outflows.
As for $ETH , its ETFs recorded a net outflow of approximately $68 million, with clear differences between BlackRock and Grayscale.
The message is clear: institutions are monitoring and reducing risks at present, which may explain the current market volatility. ⚠️📉
📈 $ZEC at decision zone... continuation of uptrend or continuation of downtrend
Currency $ZEC is currently rebounding from a strong demand zone and showing higher highs and higher lows formation, indicating a return of positive momentum after the recent correction.
Zone 400 – 390 is a very crucial support area, and as long as the price holds above it, the scenario of an uptrend toward resistance levels remains valid.
Entry zone: 395 – 402 Targets: TP1: 420 TP2: 433 TP3: 455 Stop loss: 375 ⚠️ A break below this zone with a candle close below may open the door for a strong drop and invalidate the trade, so monitor the currency closely over the next few hours.
🚨$ZEC Currency surges upward in the early hours of the week 🚀
$ZEC leads the market up by over 9% at the start of the day, reaching 414. As I mentioned earlier, if the currency manages to break through the 400 zone, the upward movement will continue higher. The next target for the currency will be the 425 zone, a very strong resistance level. Note, guys, the trade I shared with you yesterday at $ZEC was closed moments ago, and I've fully taken my profits. Waiting for another entry opportunity. 📈
Three pivotal developments that could strongly move the crypto market
🔹 The release of the U.S. CPI inflation data scheduled for January 13, which could shift interest rate expectations and strongly impact crypto. 🔹 Attention turns to January 14, when the U.S. Supreme Court may issue rulings on Trump's tariffs, affecting not only Bitcoin but all financial markets. 🔹 The U.S. Senate is preparing to vote on a bill concerning the structure of the digital currency market, which could have a direct impact on regulation and liquidity.
🚨 Breaking: Jerome Powell, Chair of the Federal Reserve, responds after federal prosecutors opened a criminal investigation into him, stating that the threat of criminal prosecution is a result of the Fed's commitment to setting interest rates based on economic interests, not according to the wishes of the US President.
🔴 Tensions between the two sides are escalating, and Trump will surely comment on this soon. This conflict could open a wide door to uncertainty in the markets, especially with sensitive decisions regarding interest rates approaching.

Hey everyone, important talk before entering a new week in crypto ⚠️
This week is full of events capable of strongly moving Bitcoin and alternative cryptocurrencies, either up or down. Don't fall into the trap of rushing, and always remember that smart buying happens at lower levels, not after price surges. I still see that the market carries a high level of risk at this time, especially with rising geopolitical tensions: what's happening in Iran and the U.S. wanting to intervene, China and Taiwan, Russia and Ukraine, plus multiple statements from Trump. Historically, rising tensions have always had a negative impact on markets. Stay disciplined and calm—sell-offs driven by fear create golden opportunities, while rallies to higher levels may be a chance to exit and prepare for the worst.
