Tech Giants Earnings Week: AI Profits and Valuation Pressure Dance
The S&P 500 index futures slowly recovered after opening down nearly 1%, with market attention focusing on the upcoming earnings reports of four 'Tech Giants' — Microsoft, Meta, Tesla, and Apple.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve will hold its first interest rate meeting of the year, and the cryptocurrency market is also showing volatility, with gold prices soaring to over $5000 per ounce, while Bitcoin remains stagnant around $87000.
The current valuation of the S&P index has reached 22 times future earnings, far above the long-term average, which means that tech giants must deliver impressive earnings to support such a high valuation.

In the past week, the U.S. federal government has once again edged towards a 'shutdown.' According to data from the blockchain prediction market Polymarket, traders have assessed the probability of the government entering a shutdown before January 31 to have surged from less than 10% in mid-month to over 80%.
As the deadline enters a 72-hour countdown, the intense standoff between the two parties on Capitol Hill may not only halt government services but also trigger a chain reaction affecting the economy, people's livelihoods, and other key legislative agendas.
1. Sudden Risk Increase: A Dual Alarm from Market Probabilities and Political Statements
The sharp rise in shutdown risk is the result of the interplay between market expectations and the hardline positions of key political figures.
OG whales are dumping Ethereum again, with a massive withdrawal of billions in positions!
As we enter 2026, the Ethereum market has not welcomed the anticipated 'good start', but instead continues to fluctuate below key price levels. From the beginning of the year until now, the ETH price has retraced all gains and turned to decline, consistently trading below the psychological threshold of $3000.
However, beneath the calm price surface, large capital flows represented by 'whales' are turbulent, exhibiting rare polarization and intense competition. On one side are the early holders and short-term traders distributing their chips, while on the other side are off-market funds buying on dips and making long-term layouts. This tug-of-war between bulls and bears is pushing Ethereum towards a critical turning point.
Silver performs a '倒V惊魂', Bitcoin is brewing a 'cycle revolution'
The epic surge and avalanche-like drop in the silver market, like a thunderclap, awakened global investors who were intoxicated by the asset frenzy. The two seemingly independent markets of precious metals and digital currencies are being pushed by the same macro undercurrent, heading towards a historic crossroads.
The spot price of silver skyrocketed by 14% on Monday, reaching $117 per ounce, marking the largest intraday increase since the global financial crisis, but then quickly fell back. Meanwhile, gold prices continue to rise, approaching the key psychological level of $5000 per ounce.
On the other hand, Bitcoin is consolidating around $90000. The world of cryptocurrency is brewing a possible 'super narrative' that could break the four-year traditional cycle.
After breaking below $87,000, what is Bitcoin's 'ultimate bottom'?
When the price of Bitcoin fluctuates between $86,000 and $89,000, two messages flicker on traders' screens: one side shows Glassnode data indicating a reduction in profit-taking pressure, while the other warns of a clear bearish signal from Titan of Crypto regarding MACD.
Bitcoin broke below $87,000 on January 26, 2026, having accumulated a decline of more than 10% since January 14. Various interpretations surrounding technical analysis have led to fierce debates in the market.
Some analysts are beginning to worry that this may signal the arrival of a bear market year, with even some analyses suggesting that the price of Bitcoin could fall back to around $58,000.

Is the bear coming again? Bitcoin may plummet to $58,000!
Is the bear coming again? Bitcoin may plummet to $58,000!
In early 2026, the Bitcoin market failed to sustain the bullish expectations, instead showing signs of fatigue after hitting high levels. Recently, several analysts represented by Titan of Crypto issued warnings, believing that Bitcoin has signaled a bear market, and 2026 may become a year of bearish trends, with prices potentially falling significantly to around $58,000. This pessimistic prediction quickly attracted market attention. This article will deeply analyze the technical indicators, on-chain data, and market structure behind this bear market warning.
1. Core basis of the bear market prediction: technical indicators and cycle signals
The 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos has just concluded. Unlike previous years, cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology have completely shed the label of 'novelty' at the edge of the round table, becoming a central topic that global financial leaders and policymakers cannot avoid on their agenda.
From the strategic transformation of banking giants to the resolute declarations of asset management titans, a narrative of financial system restructuring centered on 'tokenization' is spreading from a small town at the foot of the Alps to the entire world. This is no longer merely a preaching ground for crypto believers, but a milestone in the traditional financial power structure's active embrace of change.
104,000 BTC! Whales quietly increase their positions
When new whales holding over 100,000 bitcoins quietly enter the market, a large number of retail investors are panic-selling their holdings, and the market completes a brutal turnover in the flow of funds. Bitcoin whales are hoarding digital gold at an unprecedented rate. Data shows that wallets holding at least 1,000 BTC have recently accumulated over 100,000 bitcoins.
The holdings of new whales have surpassed 100,000, valued at approximately 12 billion dollars. Meanwhile, the number of large daily transfers exceeding one million dollars has risen to a two-month high.
The gluttonous feast of the whales stands in dramatic contrast to the panic selling of ordinary investors. This market is witnessing a silent transfer of wealth.
Full-scale plunge! Three major 'black swans' strike!
Global stock markets plunged across the board in early trading, with Bitcoin declining over 3% within 24 hours, while gold broke through the $5000 mark—markets are violently swaying in a storm of 'three black swan' events intertwined with geopolitical tensions, currency interventions, and tariff threats.
As of the morning of January 26, U.S. stock futures, cryptocurrencies, and the U.S. dollar index have rarely fallen in sync, while safe-haven assets like gold and silver have soared to unprecedented highs.
The S&P 500 futures fell by 0.9%, and the Nasdaq 100 futures dropped by 1.3%. Bitcoin once plummeted over 3%, while Ethereum fell by more than 5%.
The market anticipates that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged, but clues about future interest rate cuts and rumors regarding personnel changes at the Fed will make this meeting the next 'guiding stick' for market sentiment.
The price of gold has historically exceeded the $5,000 per ounce mark for the first time, while Bitcoin has fallen more than 10% from its peak. Global asset allocation is undergoing a profound shift in risk aversion logic.
In terms of silver, the price has first surpassed $106 per ounce, a figure that is nearly four times the silver price five years ago.
1. Market Milestone

He described the tariff measures as providing substantial benefits to the U.S. economy and pointed out that Indian refineries' purchases of Russian oil have 'collapsed.'

One Year Since Trump's Return to the White House: How 'Lie Politics' Reshapes America and the World?
Trump claimed at the Davos forum that he has defeated inflation, while the economic data reports in the hands of the audience showed that the U.S. inflation rate still stands at 2.7%—this scene has become a microcosm of his governance style during his second term.
On January 20, 2026, it will be one year since Trump returned to the White House. At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, facing global political and business elites, he once again made a series of shocking statements: claiming to have defeated inflation, that the U.S. economy is thriving, and that the southern border has been completely closed.
Meanwhile, the European Union is preparing to suspend its tariff agreement with the United States, as tensions rise between the U.S. and Europe over the sovereignty dispute of Greenland, and the Supreme Court is about to make a key ruling on Trump's tariff policy.

2. Standard Chartered Bank recommends paying attention to Ethereum and Bitmine stocks
Geoff Kendrick, the global head of digital assets research at Standard Chartered Bank, stated that although Ethereum has recently experienced a significant drop like other cryptocurrencies, the network's transaction volume has reached a historical high following the December Fusaka upgrade, which alleviated capacity bottlenecks and boosted on-chain activity. Meanwhile, the largest corporate holder of ETH, Bitmine, continues to accumulate Ethereum. Additionally, the easing of tariff risks in Greenland, the rebound of the Japanese bond market, and the rising expectations of Rick Rieder, BlackRock's head of fixed income, becoming the chair of the Federal Reserve have all created a favorable environment for risk assets. He believes that going long on Ethereum and Bitmine (BMNR) before the weekend offers a good risk-reward ratio. -Original
