📊 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.
Today's PPI data is no less important than yesterday's CPI inflation data, and we might see strong market movements depending on the numbers, similar to what happened yesterday. If PPI comes in below expectations, this means slowing inflationary pressures, which could be positive for crypto and support an upward move. On the other hand, if PPI exceeds expectations, this strengthens the tightening scenario and is negative for crypto.
⚠️ Concurrently, Retail Sales data will also be released at the same time, increasing market sensitivity. Currently, expectations exceed 97% that the Federal Reserve will not cut rates this month, which puts pressure on the markets. Therefore, I advise you to take advantage of the upward movement and secure some profits—caution is required. 👀
📊 $ZEC Despite the pressures, the currency is performing well 🚀
Currency $ZEC is doing well despite the recent negative sentiment around it. I shared the trade setup in the 400 area, and indeed, this area proved to be a consolidation zone. The price dropped to 383 and then rebounded strongly, rising to 425, thus breaking the first target of the trade. $ZEC encountered strong resistance at the 425 level, where the 50-EMA lies on the 4-hour timeframe. If the last candle closes red in this manner, we could see a strong downward correction. 425 remains the gateway to higher levels, and breaking above it could lead to 433, followed by 450.

📈 $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.
$POL The currency is still hot and ready to rise 🚀
Two days ago, I shared with you the trade $POL from the bottom, pointing out that the currency is still hot and that what it recently did has attracted investors' attention and sparked interest in finding opportunities to enter the currency.
Technically, the bullish divergence we observed on the 15-minute timeframe has been strongly repeated on the hourly timeframe, indicating that a rebound would happen sooner or later—this has already occurred, congratulations to everyone who entered the trade from the bottom.
$POL broke the first target brilliantly and is now on its way to the upcoming targets at 0.1700, then 0.1770.
Currently, the area between 0.1600 and 0.1620—if the currency manages to hold this level, we will see another upward move soon. ⚠️ Warning: Try to secure your profits every time the currency rises.

🔥 $POL Health correction = Golden opportunity 🚀
$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.
📈 Crypto rally after positive inflation data, focus shifts to Supreme Court decision
The cryptocurrency market surged following positive U.S. inflation data, with Bitcoin rebounding above the $95,000 level as risk appetite improved.
The next catalyst will be the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on Trump's tariffs, expected to be released Wednesday.
If tariffs are lifted, we may see temporary market relief and higher chances of interest rate cuts, which would support crypto.
But proceed with caution: any rally could be short-lived, as Trump still has alternative tools to impose fees. Moreover, the market has been pricing in the expectation that the court will lift the tariffs, so this market move might already reflect the event—stay alert. ⚠️📊
Project $NEAR officially joins the NVIDIA Inception program, granting access to GPU resources, advanced technical support, and opportunities to connect with an investor network and bold venture capital funds. Integration with NVIDIA Confidential Computing within NEAR's AI infrastructure has already laid the foundation for this partnership, enhancing privacy and security for AI applications.
$NEAR has shown impressive growth, reaching 1.894. If this upward trend continues, the next resistance levels are at 2.00, then 2.1, and finally 2.290. For downside movement, 1.6 remains a key support and bounce zone if the coin starts correcting.
Just two days ago, I alerted you to monitor $NEAR and AI-related tokens, and I still stand by my statement—this year will be the year of AI tokens.
🚨 Breaking: Bitcoin surpasses $96,000 for the first time since November 16
Guys, this is truly a critical moment. $BTC finally took the trapped liquidity above for weeks, and what happened was a clear short squeeze. Now the crucial question is: will it maintain this breakout, or will we see a rapid drop?
Let me tell you something and keep it in mind: When positive news is coming and things look positive, the market often drops first, because institutions and big players want to buy at the cheapest price. And when negative news is coming and things look negative, the market often rises first so big players can exit and sell at the peaks.
Yes, excitement is high now and fear of missing out is taking over, but many will regret entering too late. Crypto is still in a risky zone and smart money knows this very well. 🧠📉📈
📊 As I shared with you a few hours ago, Bitcoin has successfully broken through and risen toward the 94,000 zone. Now the price is facing the 94,500 resistance level, a strong barrier that has failed to be breached several times. If it succeeds this time, the next target will be near 96,300.
But beware ⚠️ The current atmosphere is full of positivity and profits, which is natural after a strong rise, but nothing goes up forever. Downward corrections are healthy and natural, and that's when real buying opportunities appear.
Buying should happen from the bottom, not after a rise—this is usually where profit-taking occurs. For short-term traders: caution is essential, enter and exit quickly without greed.
Of course, if Bitcoin starts to drop, other cryptocurrencies will follow, so stay alert.
🚀 Bitcoin continues its upward trend and reaches $94,500
$BTC rises by more than 3% in the past 24 hours, supported by stable inflation data and renewed interest in crypto as a hedge. CPI data came in at 2.7%, as expected, while core inflation came in below expectations, providing a positive boost to markets.
Alternative coins also climbed: #ETH at $3,220, $SOL at $144, and $DASH surged by more than 70% today.
Tomorrow we await the tax trial, along with PPI and Retail Sales data. If weaker than expected, combined with today's CPI, interest rate expectations could shift and the rally may continue. But caution is required, volatility is coming strong. 📊🔥
The US Supreme Court may issue its ruling on President Trump's tariffs within just 24 hours. According to Polymarket, the probability of the tariffs being deemed legal does not exceed 27%, increasing tension and anxiety in the markets.
Trump commented that any ruling declaring the tariffs illegal would be complete chaos, which could open the door to significant volatility in stocks, the dollar, and even crypto.
📊 This decision could unexpectedly shift the overall market sentiment. The current phase requires caution, close monitoring, and smart risk management.
U.S. President Donald Trump cancels all meetings with Iranian officials and delivers a direct message to protesters: take control of your institutions, help is on the way. ⚠️ Pay close attention to this man's statements—he is known for escalating tensions and never backing down, especially at this sensitive time. Geopolitical situations are on the edge of escalation that could trigger a strong downturn in markets, especially crypto. ⏰ Expected in about 4 hours during Trump's speech on the economy, but this man talks a lot and could drop one or two statements about recent events, so stay alert. Risk management is required now more than ever.
🚨 Trump strongly pressures the Fed after inflation data
U.S. President Donald Trump praised what he described as excellent inflation numbers following the release of CPI data, and directly called on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to immediately and significantly cut interest rates. Trump said Powell is always behind, and sarcastically added: Thank you, Mr. Tariff, referring to Powell's trade policies and their impact on inflation.
This escalation increases political pressure on the Fed, which could support high-risk assets like crypto if the market responds to what Trump wants.
Despite the strong performance of many altcoins today, Bitcoin is still facing fierce resistance between 92,260 – 92,520 with clear selling pressure in this area. If the breakout fails and correction begins, we might see a downward wave affecting the entire market. However, if 92,500 is breached and held above, targets could extend toward 94,000 with continued positive momentum in altcoins.
CPI data is relatively positive but not strong enough, and the current rally might just be pricing in the news. With the opening of the U.S. markets, any upward push is preferable to take profits, as smart money remains cautious about geopolitical conditions and may sell at peaks. ⚠️📉
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) came in at 2.7%, matching expectations, while Core CPI recorded 2.6%, slightly below the expected 2.7%. Notably, both overall and core inflation remained stable with no change in December.
These figures clearly indicate that inflation is no longer declining rapidly, supporting the scenario of pausing rate cuts at the January meeting. For the markets, the outlook is neither strongly negative nor positive, but it suggests continued caution and limited volatility until the Federal Reserve's next policy direction becomes clearer. Stay cautious, especially during the opening of the U.S. markets
🚀 Legendary performance from $DASH : Will ZEC's scenario repeat?
Powerful and unmatched movement from coin $DASH , with an increase exceeding 70% within hours, outperforming most of the market, reaching 68.20. Area 68 is a key resistance level; breaking it with continued momentum could open the path toward 75, then 85.
The current correction is natural after a strong rally. Level 58 is the first test for the coin; breaking below it could push the price down to 49, then 44.
To repeat the story of $ZEC and its rise from below 100 to its current level, the entire market must remain positive to sustain the upward movement. Remember to buy on dips. Take advantage of the move, take your profits, as the market will likely see sharp fluctuations due to recent events.
As I explained yesterday, today's inflation data has the potential to strongly move the market. In short: we need it to come in below expectations, and the lower it is, the better, as it could shift the pricing of a rate cut, especially since the market currently prices in a 95% chance of no rate cut this month.
I've warned multiple times that the market moves based on expectations of the Fed cutting rates and moves higher, and vice versa. The recent rise in Bitcoin and some altcoins last night didn't sit well with me, and it might just be big players pricing in profits ahead of any negative surprise.
🟢 Currency $DASH is performing well and rising strongly. Congratulations to everyone who entered 🚀
Two days ago, I shared a trade opportunity in currency $DASH with you, providing the analysis and reasons behind the trade. In the last minutes, the currency surged strongly, breaking through our target with clear buying momentum. If the currency maintains this momentum, it is set to continue its upward movement toward the 42.60 area, then 45.30. Congratulations to everyone who entered and secured their profits. Entering from the bottom and selling to lock in gains during the rise is the right approach for trading right now. Stay disciplined, cautious, aware, and prepared for all scenarios 📉📈

🔥 $DASH is preparing for a strong rebound, a clear technical signal
The $DASH currency shows a double bottom pattern on smaller timeframes, where the price has rebounded twice from the same level of 36.68 with precision, reflecting genuine buying pressure in this area. This pattern often precedes a strong rebound, especially since $ZEC is also located in a rebound zone, and we know these two currencies usually move together.
🚨 Of course, everyone, since this event is very important and its impact could be strong on crypto, we might see movements in Bitcoin and alternative coins now, preparing for the event. If we see an upward movement, it might be aimed at exiting and preparing for the worst. Whereas if we see a downward movement, it might be aimed at buying at lower levels and positioning before the event.
As I explained, CPi data has the ability to change expectations about interest rate cuts, especially if released with surprising numbers.
⚠️ This is not the only event capable of moving the market; we have intense geopolitical situations and drama between Trump and Paul..., so stay alert and be careful.

🚨 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.
🚨 Urgent: New escalation in geopolitical situation
U.S. President Trump imposes a 25% tariff on any country continuing commercial dealings with Iran. Pay close attention, what's happening between Iran and the United States is far greater than most people realize, especially since China is one of Iran's largest trading partners.
Any further escalation could impact supply chains, energy prices, the dollar, and even high-risk assets like crypto. Markets are currently extremely sensitive to geopolitical news, and any wrong move could trigger strong volatility.
Risk management is essential at this stage—don't underestimate what's happening behind the scenes. ⚠️
