【Exclusive】2026 (Bing Wu Fire Horse Year) Cryptocurrency Feng Shui Guide
Preface Economic cycles? It's like that cigarette in your hand; its burning out is inevitable, but the next puff brings a new kick. Prosperity and recession? It's just the dark humor of this broken world repeating itself. So, this year we didn't go to worship any 'gods' on Wall Street, nor did we believe in the 'ghost stories' of the Federal Reserve. We directly delved into metaphysics. From the method of Luck and Life to Zi Wei Dou Shu, we smashed these algorithms into the singularity of the Bitcoin genesis block to see how periodicity really sways! We attempt to use the ancient codes of the Five Elements and the Nine Palaces Flying Stars to deconstruct the 'energy' of digital assets and hot industries in the market. We predict in advance which track will hide significant dividends next year and which area has major traps. This book (2026 Cryptocurrency Feng Shui Guide) is not a soup that will make you rich overnight. It is a rusty dragon-slaying ruler that helps you navigate fortune and misfortune during this cycle.
1. Trump's Davos speech and the Greenland dispute (core negative driver) Review: On January 21, Trump reiterated strategic interest in Greenland, initially threatening to impose tariffs on the EU (10% on February 10 and 25% on June), but canceled the threat on the 22nd, with prior uncertainty impacting the market. Transmission: Concerns over trade friction → Supply chain and profit expectations disrupted → Risk appetite cooled → Fluctuations in U.S. stock futures. BTC Impact: Dropped from 92k to below 90k, with long positions liquidated exceeding 400 million, leading to weak sentiment at the beginning of the week. 2. Expectations for interest rate cuts weakened/delayed (major suppressing factor) Background: December retail sales exceeded expectations, PPI remained sticky, and Federal Reserve officials emphasized data dependence, with expectations for interest rate cuts in 2026 being downgraded.
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi will dissolve the House of Representatives on January 24 and hold elections on February 8, with a 16-day campaign period setting the record for the shortest in Japanese history. This move aims to consolidate the ruling position and gain public authorization to implement expansionary fiscal policies, with the core campaign promise being a temporary reduction in the food consumption tax to address the issue of living costs, which have exceeded the 2% inflation target for four consecutive years in Japan.
The current opposition is forming a new camp called 'Centrist Reform Coalition'. The electoral cooperation between the Liberal Democratic Party and its new partner, the Japan Innovation Party, has not been tested, and with smaller parties potentially splitting votes, the outcome of this election is full of uncertainties, leading to a downward adjustment in market expectations for the ruling coalition's seat gains.
🚀 Trump-affiliated crypto project is making big moves again! World Free Finance teams up with Spacecoin to develop the USD1 satellite DeFi project, exploring the integration of DeFi with space internet, and will also conduct token swaps, with specific terms yet to be disclosed.
Spacecoin has launched three low-orbit satellites, creating a decentralized physical infrastructure network, and this cooperation aims to address the blind spots of traditional finance, expanding USD1's payment and settlement scenarios in special environments.
Currently, USD1 has a market capitalization of 3.27 billion USD, and the project is accelerating its layout in crypto lending and international payments, having also reached a sovereign cooperation with Pakistan this month, continuously expanding the application landscape of stablecoins!
GME stock price surged by 5%, reaching a new high for this phase! CEO Ryan Cohen made a huge purchase of 1 million shares while closing stores, increasing his ownership to 9.3%, valued at $930 million, demonstrating long-term bullish confidence.
On the same day, GME announced the closure of another 470 stores in the U.S., bringing the total to over 1,000, with plans to ultimately retain 2,000 stores. Although the company faces declining revenue and setbacks in its Bitcoin vault strategy, it holds over $7.5 billion in cash, with a strong balance sheet. A 16% short position could trigger a short squeeze.
Trump launches 'Chokehold Action 2.0', suing JPMorgan for $5 billion!\n\nIt is alleged that due to political motives, his banking services were revoked. Seven weeks after the Capitol riot in 2021, JPMorgan unexpectedly closed his and his family's business accounts, and placed him on a blacklist, resulting in both economic and reputational losses. The lawsuit points directly to commercial defamation and violations of relevant trade statutes in Florida.\n\nJPMorgan strongly denies the allegations, stating that the account closures were solely due to compliance and regulatory risks, not political reasons. The bank has previously been accused of canceling accounts of individuals related to cryptocurrency, and this incident once again raises political controversy surrounding financial institutions!\n\n#TRUMP #金融监管 #摩根大通
Daily Briefing (Understand Today's Key Points in 1 Minute|2026.01.22)
📌Core Signals 1. Bitcoin short-term trend Current price: $89,949 (↑0.81%) Market Structure: After a significant drop of 7.04% on the weekly level, the price shows a slight rebound, but the market structure remains weak. Futures trading volume is in a 'cooling' state, and open interest has decreased by 1.53%, indicating that leveraged positions are exiting, market speculation enthusiasm is cooling, and a short-term consolidation pattern is forming. Clearing Warning: The key resistance level above is around $92,500, which is a previous dense trading area. The short-term support below is at the $88,000 integer level; if it is breached, it may trigger a retest of the mid-term support at $85,500.
The golden bull market welcomes heavy bullish sentiment again! Goldman Sachs raises its year-end target to $5,400 per ounce, while ICBC Standard Bank projects a sky-high expectation of $7,150!
Currently, London gold has reached a historical high of $4,800, with gold prices already up 60% in 2025, and the upward momentum remains strong in 2026. Goldman Sachs notes that central banks are buying an average of 60 tons of gold per month, and with the Federal Reserve lowering interest rates, ETF holdings are increasing, with central banks even competing with private investors for gold supply.
Geopolitical tensions, de-dollarization, and declining real interest rates serve as core supports. U.S. actions against Venezuela and the Greenland game further elevate the demand for safe-haven assets. Institutions believe this is a long-term trend, not a speculative bubble; gold has transformed from a safe-haven tool into a global standard asset!
Sun Yuchen makes a strategic investment of 8 million US dollars in River to support its deployment of chain abstract stablecoin infrastructure in the TRON ecosystem.
River will launch the cross-ecosystem stablecoin satUSD, which supports 1:1 minting with USDT, USDD, etc., and will connect to TRON's SUN liquidity pool and JUST lending protocol, covering core assets such as USDT and TRX. Additionally, it will introduce yield-generating products aimed at individuals and institutions, with the goal of enhancing the liquidity and on-chain activity of the TRON ecosystem.
Iran's central bank purchases 507 million USDT to rescue the rial, on-chain traces expose it to multiple crackdowns!
Elliptic data shows that Iran's central bank purchased a large amount of USDT through UAE dirhams and the Tron blockchain in April-May 2025 to bypass sanctions and support the plummeting rial, with funds initially entering the local exchange Nobitex.
In June, Nobitex suffered a hack that stole 90 million in assets, forcing Iran to transfer funds across chains; previously, Tether had frozen its associated wallet with 37 million USDT, and TRM Labs also exposed nearly 1 billion in cryptocurrency flow from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
The transparency of blockchain has fully exposed Iran's digital rescue measures, which have become both a means of breaking the deadlock and its biggest constraint.
According to CCTV News, Trump signed an executive order in January 2025 announcing the United States' withdrawal from the World Health Organization. The United Nations received notification that month, and according to the WHO constitution, the formal withdrawal process would be completed on January 22, 2026, one year later. A WHO spokesperson stated that while the United States has the right to withdraw, it must settle its outstanding membership fees, which currently include approximately $260 million for the years 2024 and 2025, a matter that has been included in the agenda for the WHO Executive Board meeting.
Trump's Tough Talk at Davos: Tariffs + Geopolitical Storms, Crypto Market Hit Again
US President Trump, in his speech at the Davos World Economic Forum, stirred global markets with threats of tariffs and geopolitical maneuvering. The already pressured cryptocurrency market faced further blows, with Bitcoin falling below $90,000 and the entire market entering a state of low spirits and fluctuations.
In his speech, Trump firmly stated that he would impose a 10% tariff on eight European countries including France, Germany, and the UK, planning to increase it to 25% on June 1. This move aims to pressure European nations to compromise on their control claims over Greenland. The US-EU trade agreement has been put on hold, transatlantic tensions are escalating, and global risk appetite is sharply cooling. As a result, European stocks opened with a significant drop, and cryptocurrencies, being highly sensitive risk assets, also faced pressure. Bitcoin has fallen for five consecutive days, Ethereum retreated to the critical support level of $2,900, and other coins like Ripple are also facing support level tests.
Geopolitical conflicts and capital outflows have created a double whammy. Bitcoin spot ETF has seen net outflows for two consecutive days, with a single-day outflow reaching $483 million, indicating a clear signal of institutional fund withdrawal. Coupled with the uncertainty in crypto regulation policies mentioned by Trump, market panic has spread, with the total cryptocurrency market cap dropping by 1.1% over the past 24 hours, and the seven-day cumulative decline expanding to 7.6%, highlighting the current fragility of the landscape.
Notably, although Trump has stated that he wants to make the US the 'Crypto Capital of the World', the randomness of policy and trade protectionism has raised market concerns. Analysts point out that if the US-EU trade friction continues to escalate, it will exacerbate global liquidity fluctuations, and the crypto market may face greater volatility. In the short term, it is essential to focus on the EU's countermeasures and the Federal Reserve's policy trends, being wary of the risk of breaking support levels.
📌Core Signal 1. Short-term Trend of Bitcoin Current Price: $89,199.7 (↓1.93%) Market Structure: The price is in a correction phase, with a 7-day drop of 6.14%. Both the spot and futures market trading volumes are in a 'cooling' state, indicating weakened market momentum and increased wait-and-see sentiment. Liquidation Warning: The key resistance level above is at the psychological barrier of $90,500, while short-term support is around $87,500. A significant drop below this level may trigger a new round of selling. Liquidation Overview: The price has fallen in the past 24 hours, possibly triggering liquidations for some leveraged long positions, exacerbating short-term downward pressure.
Retail investors around the world are going crazy for silver!
🔥 Turkey's inventory has sold out directly, demand in India is off the charts, and the silver bars from the South Korean Mint were snatched up in 1 hour. Chinese aunties are also lining up in Shenzhen to buy goods.
Amid the uncertainty of the Trump administration reshaping the global order, silver has become a "safe-haven hard currency" in the eyes of retail investors, with prices jumping by 1/3 in just a few weeks, leaving banks and refiners flustered.
Now Turkish retail investors are willing to pay $9 more than the international benchmark price for silver bars, and Indian refiners are frank in saying, "sell as much as we produce." This global silver buying spree is still ongoing!

The cryptocurrency market is once again witnessing a scene of exploitation! ⚠️ World Liberty Fi (WLFI) has been reported for vote manipulation in governance, with the project team using related wallets to force through a token sale plan, while ordinary investors' tokens are locked, having neither voting rights nor profit rights.
The project's protocol revenue is allocated 75% to the Trump family and 25% to the Witkoff family, with holders merely acting as “bystanders.” Currently, the team has transferred 500 million tokens to Jump Trading, posing a significant risk of market crash.
DeFi^2 has initiated short-selling, warning that the valuation of this coin is inflated and it is unlikely to escape a continued decline.
Under the market crash, Brother Maji's long positions were completely liquidated, resulting in a loss of 4.3 million USD in a week, with total account losses exceeding 22.83 million USD. Nevertheless, he still spent 1.76 million USD to open long positions on 600 ETH at a leverage of 22.84 times, making him a 'suicide squad' operator in the high-leverage market. Whether he can turn things around depends entirely on whether ETH can stabilize at a key price level.
Trump's tariff thunder! BTC crashes below 88K, over 800 million long positions liquidated
Trump's "Greenland Tariff" threat (EU 10% → 25%) directly ignited global risk aversion, causing Bitcoin to plummet from a high of 96K to $87,777, down over 5% in 24 hours and nearly 10% for the week.
Gold surged to a new high of $4,700, silver at 94+, the dollar weakened, and the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies evaporated by over 200 billion, with leveraged liquidations exceeding 800 million dollars—a classic “Sell America” scenario reappears. The 88K support is shaky, and the next stop has a significant probability of being 85K-80K.
However, institutions are still buying at low levels, MicroStrategy and BlackRock are unfazed; this is still the washout phase of “weak hands exiting.” Don't panic; before trade tensions ease or macro data warms up, HODL is the way to go. Voice money lasts forever. 📉🔥
📌 Core Signal 1. Short-term trend of Bitcoin Current Price: $90,986.91 (↓2.38%) Market Structure: Prices are in a pullback and consolidation, but on-chain signals show divergence. Retail participation is at a 'neutral' level in both the spot and futures markets, with overall trading volume shrinking to a 'cooling' state, indicating a cooling of short-term speculative sentiment. However, beneath this calm, the spot market has seen 'whale orders,' and the CVD for both spot and derivatives over the past 90 days shows 'buying dominance by large buyers,' indicating that large players and long-term investors are actively accumulating during the pullback.
RWA vs Meme & Privacy: Who will be the true source of Alpha in 2026?
A class differentiation is unfolding Are you all in on the institutional narrative of RWA, or will you continue to gamble for quick hundredfold returns in Meme/Privacy? This choice may determine whether you eat meat or drink soup in 2026. Wall Street is betting on a "tokenization revolution." Bernstein predicts that 2026 will herald a super cycle of tokenization, and Grayscale boldly claims that RWA (real-world assets) will achieve a thousandfold growth by 2030. The script for institutions is very clear: real estate, bonds, and government bonds on-chain, connecting trillion-level traditional capital. But the story on the other side of the market is completely different. Meme coins rose 23% at the beginning of the year, while the privacy coin QUAI, which was previously suppressed by regulation, skyrocketed by 261%. Retail investors in Discord groups are still looking for the "next hundredfold coin" and scoff at the slow money narrative from institutions.
