ME News Message, January 27 (UTC+8), the Wall Street Journal reporter Nick Timiraos, known as the "Fed Whisperer," indicated that Federal Reserve officials are expected to maintain interest rates unchanged for the first time since three consecutive rate cuts began last September. The question is, what circumstances would prompt the Fed to initiate rate cuts again? The answer depends on which of the following risks materializes first: a collapse in the labor market or a significant drop in inflation towards the 2% target level. Since the last meeting in December, neither has occurred. As a result, even with significant political pressure from the White House, the committee remains in a wait-and-see mode. Most officials still believe a rate cut may be possible later this year, but there is disagreement on when the data will support such a move. (Source: ME)

ME News message, January 27 (UTC+8), Allspring's Global Investment Multi-Asset Solutions team portfolio manager Rushabh Amin pointed out in a research report that the Federal Reserve's current target range for the federal funds rate of 3.50%–3.75% is very close to neutral levels and will not further exacerbate inflationary pressures. The current investment boom is closely related to artificial intelligence, and the significant rise in commodity and industrial metal prices may lead to inflation being more persistent than expected in 2026. He expects the market's focus to gradually shift to the appointment of the next Federal Reserve Chair, with investors generally expecting the new Chair to be more inclined to lower interest rates. The market generally expects the Federal Reserve to maintain interest rates at its monetary policy meeting this week. (Source: ME)
Ray Dalio: The United States is on the edge of the fifth stage of the 'big cycle', facing risks of civil war and order collapse
ME News message, January 27 (UTC+8), Bridgewater founder Ray Dalio published a lengthy analysis on social media, warning that the United States is at the edge of the fifth stage of its 'big cycle' theory (the eve of order collapse). Multiple indicators suggest that society may slide into the sixth stage (civil war and order collapse). His core judgments are based on: Financial and conflict deterioration: high government deficits, rising debt, and the widening gap in wealth and values reaching historical highs, forming a 'classic deadly combination'. Populism and extremism: intensified political polarization, the silencing of moderates, media devolving into tools of partisan struggle, and the 'loss of truth' in the public sphere. Escalation of violent incidents: recent deaths of protesters in Minneapolis and conflicts between central and state governments are typical signs of the transition to the sixth stage. System incapacitation: the legal and political systems are increasingly used as weapons in struggles, with rules giving way to the logic of 'winning at all costs'. Ray Dalio stated that the current situation is highly similar to the early period of order restructuring from 1930 to 1945. If consensus cannot be forged through leadership and painful but necessary reforms are not implemented, society may repeat the path of civil war/revolution. Investors and policymakers should confront the forces of cycles, promote productivity-oriented reforms (education, infrastructure, research), and replace 'zero-sum struggles' with 'win-win cooperation' to avoid the system sliding into irreversible collapse. Although the trajectory is difficult to change, it is still possible and necessary to alleviate conflicts and reshape broad prosperity through wise choices before sliding into the sixth stage.

ME News message, January 27 (UTC+8), Clawdbot founder Peter Steinberger stated on the X platform that he has never participated in any cryptocurrency projects and will not issue tokens.

Wintermute: $85,000 Becomes Key Level for BTC, Market May Choose Direction Soon
ME News message, January 27 (UTC+8), Wintermute today stated that the current price range of BTC has shown signs of fatigue, but the market structure is not bearish; instead, it is stuck in a stalemate. The $85,000 support level has been tested multiple times; it is either a solid bottom or a trap waiting to explode. Despite the net outflow of funds from the United States and ongoing compression of volatility, this support level has been maintained, indicating that there is buying interest below (albeit at a moderate strength). Gold is playing the role that Bitcoin should be playing. The stock market is waiting for earnings reports to validate valuation rationality. Bitcoin has fallen into a 'no man's land'—not weak enough to break support, nor strong enough to regain upward momentum. The macro environment has built up momentum for a trending market, but the crypto market has been slow to follow suit. This situation may change due to a reversal in ETF capital flows or changes in the dollar's movement. If the Federal Reserve intervenes in the yen exchange rate and the dollar continues to weaken, it will become a clear catalyst for risk assets. If the 'Tech Seven Giants' earnings exceed expectations and the AI narrative continues to develop, it will push the Nasdaq index upwards, thereby boosting the crypto market. Conversely, if Powell releases hawkish signals or tariff conflicts escalate, the $85,000 support level will face severe testing. A 60-day consolidation period combined with such a dense risk of events means the market will eventually choose a direction. (Source: ME)
Will the U.S. government shut down again, and will the cryptocurrency market be hit?
The largest welfare fraud case in U.S. history and the riots in Minnesota, why do they affect whether the government shuts down?

In October last year, the U.S. government shutdown lasted for 43 days, tightening global financial liquidity, and the cryptocurrency market took a big hit.
Many people still vividly remember that incident. And at the end of this month, a similar event may occur again.
Three days ago, Trump said in an interview at Davos: "I think we have trouble again, and we are likely to fall into another government shutdown caused by the Democrats." Although lawmakers are working hard to finalize the funding agreement, with the deadline of January 30 approaching, the U.S. government has only 4 working days left, making another shutdown hard to avoid.

ClawdBot Founder: Please don't harass me, I will never issue any tokens
ME News, January 27 (UTC+8), ClawdBot (now Moltbot) founder Peter Steinberger posted on social media: "Please stop disturbing me through private messages or mentions, stop harassing me. I will never issue any tokens. Any project that lists me as a token owner or affiliate is a scam. I will also not accept any form of collaboration fees. Your actions are seriously damaging the reputation and development of the project. Please remain rational and work together to maintain a healthy industry environment." Peter also stated that the project was originally named ClawdBot but had to be renamed due to trademark issues, and ended up messing up the renaming of the GitHub account. The new name on X has already been claimed by crypto speculators, and he is currently seeking help to retrieve the seized account. (Source: ME)

Backpack CEO: Solana Ecosystem Has Become More Focused on Financial Infrastructure Over the Past Year
ME News message, January 27 (UTC+8), Backpack CEO Armani Ferrante stated in an interview with CoinDesk that the Solana ecosystem has become more focused on a more pragmatic area over the past year: financial infrastructure. Ferrante mentioned that he will speak at CoinDesk's Consensus conference in Hong Kong next month. "The network is increasingly oriented around high-throughput on-chain transactions, market structure, and settlement, which is what people refer to as internet capital markets." Ferrante noted that although cryptocurrency prices remain sluggish and native cryptocurrency investors are cautious, institutional investors have a high interest in cryptocurrencies. The long-term development prospects of Solana and the entire blockchain depend on their role as a neutral settlement layer. In the future, assets such as stocks and derivatives will flow seamlessly across platforms in the form of standardized tokens, rather than being stored in isolated databases. As global finance increasingly moves on-chain, Solana will ultimately be rewarded. (Source: ME)
Analyst: Current bearish forces have reached extreme levels but face resistance; the market is at a critical decision point
ME News reported on January 27 (UTC+8) that cryptocurrency market analyst Axel Adler Jr. indicated that based on the 'Bitcoin price structure' and the 'Bitcoin derivatives market pressure index', the current market has entered a critical decision zone. The support level of $86,400 has become the dividing line between bulls and bears: if it breaks down, it may open a downward path for reassessment at the lower channel; if it holds, there is hope to build a bottom and brew a reversal. The Bitcoin derivatives market pressure index shows that the pressure has reached extreme levels, yet prices have not declined simultaneously. This implies one of two possibilities: buyers are actively absorbing selling pressure at the current price level (a bottoming signal), or the market is accumulating energy, which may lead to a rapid decline once support breaks. The lack of a price reaction to extreme pressure is an anomalous phenomenon and requires close attention. Overall, the market is in a state of tense balance, with selling pressure reaching the strongest level of the month, yet facing resistance. This could signal strong support or the last pause before a crash. The market is at a critical decision point. (Source: ME)
ME News reported on January 27 (UTC+8) that BitMart has launched principal-protected copy trading products, breaking through the trust pain points of traditional copy trading through the lead trader's pledge guarantee and loss compensation mechanism, providing investors with controllable trading options.
In the traditional copy trading model, copy trading users must bear all market volatility risks on their own, while BitMart's newly launched principal-protected copy trading model has achieved a disruptive rule change. This model requires the lead trader to pledge their own funds as risk margin, with settlements made on a weekly basis. If there is a net trading loss during the copy trading period, the lead trader will compensate the copy trading user in full, truly realizing the risk guarantee commitment of 'you copy trade, I cover the losses.'
