In times of high uncertainty, the market follows a predictable hierarchy of fear:₿ The Bitcoin Wildcard
Bitcoin currently lives in a strange duality. While it was designed to be "Digital Gold," its high correlation with the Nasdaq often makes it dump alongside tech stocks during the initial panic.
The Strategy: Watch for the decoupling. The real opportunity usually appears when Bitcoin stops falling with the S&P 500 and starts climbing with Gold. That is the signal that the market has shifted from "panic selling everything" to "hedging

It's an incredible time to watch the metals market. As of January 29, 2026, spot gold not only reached the $5,200 level; it is actually continuing its parabolic rise, trading around $5,300-$5,500 per ounce in many global markets.

Seeing developers prioritize fun-first gameplay is the "adulting" phase GameFi had to go through.

21Shares forecasts XRP target price of $2.45 in 2026, warns of correction risk
American asset management firm 21Shares in its latest report predicts a baseline target price of $2.45 for Ripple (XRP) in 2026; in an optimistic scenario, if institutional demand and RWA applications expand, the price could reach as high as $2.69.

It's been a while since I last looked at Pendle, and I just realized that the susdf I bought earlier has matured today, and the yt that expired today has already matured. Lost $10,000🤣. I still remember doing the math for a long time and thinking yt could make money, haha🤣. I also went to cx @2lambro and bought some. Too risky. After having prediction markets, the pre-market strategies have become more diverse, and the points won't be arbitrarily changed by the project teams, making it much easier to manipulate. Now I prefer participating in pre-market on pm rather than messing with yt. Poly

January 29th $ZEC Silk Road
On the hourly chart, after the price surged near 405 and then started to pull back, it is now approaching a stable level. Technically, the indicators show a golden cross on the MACD, with the red histogram shrinking, and the KDJ also forming a golden cross and trending upward. The momentum is building up.
My personal suggestion is to buy around 362-355, with a target of 390-430 $ZEC
