📊 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.
📌 The actual reality of what happened with the Clarity Act today and why the vote was postponed
What happened is not a final cancellation. Coinbase withdrew its support for the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act project because, according to Brian Armstrong, the current version might be worse than having no law at all. Subsequently, the Senate Banking Committee postponed the voting session due to escalating disagreements, not because the bill was dropped.
Reasons for rejection include: Restrictions on stablecoin returns, tightening regulations on tokenized securities, stricter measures against DeFi and user privacy, and increased SEC influence at the expense of CFTC.
In summary: the law was not canceled but returned to the drafting table for revisions.
Bitcoin continues its rise today, reaching levels around 97,000 despite expectations that interest rates will not be cut this month, and despite geopolitical tensions between Iran, the US, and NATO, as well as frequent Trump statements that typically pressure crypto.
Nevertheless, the market remains resilient.
Currently, Bitcoin is at a sensitive weekly zone where the 50-EMA weekly is near 97,600. A weekly close above it would be a very positive signal, while the next resistance lies between 99,000 – 99,700.
⚠️ Be cautious: In such negative sentiment, the market often spikes before smart money exits peaks ahead of a new downturn. Risk management is now absolutely essential.
🟢 $ZEC Performance and no better deal, a successful deal with perfection and completeness, congratulations to those who joined my deal 🔥
Two days ago, I shared with you a deal on $ZEC in the 400$ range, which saw the currency rise remarkably by about 10% within the day.
$ZEC showed strong upward momentum today, reaching a very important resistance zone at 449 - 456. If the currency successfully breaks through, the path could open up to 483, then 500. Personally, my friends, I exited the deal completely. Congratulations to those who joined my deal and bought at lower levels before the move began. To everyone who bought the currency, don't forget to take some profits along the way upward 🚀🚀

📈 $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.
🚨 $ZEC The currency is waking up again amid positive news 📈
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially concluded its investigation into the Zcash Foundation without recommending any penalties or additional regulatory actions. The investigation began in August 2023, and the outcome reflects the organization's commitment to transparency and regulatory compliance. Closing this regulatory matter gives Zcash greater room to focus on developing a financial infrastructure that maintains privacy.
The $ZEC cryptocurrency rose by over 9% today and is approaching the final target of 455, the price level we shared with you two days ago—congratulations to everyone who joined in! 👍
Positive news, and momentum may continue if it attracts greater interest from investors. 📈
$DASH coin, one of the oldest privacy coins since 2014, is witnessing renewed activity and a strong price surge. In just two days, DASH has risen over 112%, with approximately 50% of that increase occurring in the last 24 hours, and it is currently trading near $84, achieving the target we discussed this morning.
Notably, the recent upward wave has affected most privacy coins, such as XMR, which has increased by around 80%, while DASH was relatively delayed before catching up.
The key catalyst came after Alchemy Pay announced support for purchasing $DASH with fiat currencies, attracting new liquidity and significantly boosting momentum.
Privacy coins continue to prove their worth in the market 🔥
🚀 Bitcoin hits highest level in two months and what's driving the market?
The price of $BTC rose today to nearly $97,777, boosted by a wave of positive macro catalysts. The crypto market capitalization regained $3.2 trillion as risk appetite improved.
Slowing US labor market and declining core inflation boosted optimism and revived risk sentiment in the market. Additionally, regulatory optimism with the CLARITY Act and strong inflows into ETFs ($754 million) triggered a short squeeze exceeding $700 million in liquidations.
Yes, Bitcoin is becoming more positive every day, but remember that when it rises, they sell and take profits, and when they look to enter and buy, they won't purchase at these high prices. ⚠️ Be careful and stay alert—don't get caught up in the hype.
The US Supreme Court decides not to issue the awaited ruling today regarding the legality of President Trump's tariffs, and for the second time in a row, the decision is postponed without explanation.
This delay increases uncertainty in the economic landscape, especially given the impact of these tariffs on global trade, inflation, and financial markets. Investors are watching closely, as any unexpected ruling later could trigger strong volatility in stocks, the dollar, and even crypto.
Uncertainty continues and caution is required at this stage. 📉📈
🚀 $NEAR confirms its strength and sustained momentum of artificial intelligence 📈
After the pleasant rise yesterday and $NEAR reaching 1.90, we observe a healthy correction with strong support above the 1.80 zone, which is a positive signal.
The currency is gaining increasing attention, especially after the recent partnership with NVIDIA in the field of artificial intelligence, which strengthens the upward momentum.
⚠️ The 1.800 zone is very critical; a strong break below could drive the price toward 1.750, then 1.670. Trade based on this information, and manage your risks carefully, as the market is in high levels and we might see a sudden sell-off.
🔥 $XRP Health correction and a golden opportunity, it's time to enter 🚀🚀
After the strong rise yesterday to 2.19, $XRP made a controlled downward correction. On the 15-minute timeframe, we observe a double bottom pattern at 2.1116, a very important level as it aligns with the 50-EMA on the hourly chart, and the price is respecting it well.
🐶 $DOGE Sends Signals of Possible Reversal Coming? 🚀
On smaller timeframes, Dogecoin shows a clear positive divergence: price is dropping while the RSI indicator is rising, which often indicates weakening sellers and a potential near-term reversal.
As long as $DOGE holds above the 0.145 level, the outlook remains positive.
🚀 $ICP Legendary performance with strong momentum and clear breakout
Despite the calm in most currencies today, $ICP continues strong performance with a rise exceeding 10% since the start of the day. The currency successfully broke through a key resistance level at 3.990 – 4.000, a breakout reflecting strong demand and current momentum.
If momentum continues, the next targets are at 4.240 then 4.400, and breaking through them could open the way toward 5.00 soon.
As for lower levels, failure to remain above 3.990 could bring the price back for a correction toward 3.750 – 3.790. Momentum is very positive, especially in the artificial intelligence segment of the stock market. 📈🔥
Data from the November Producer Price Index (PPI) came in higher than expected, with inflation rising to 3.0% compared to forecasts of 2.7%. Importantly, Core PPI also rose to 3.0%, exceeding expectations and reaching its highest level since July 2025.
These figures indicate that pricing pressures remain strong on the production side, which could delay an upcoming interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. Markets are now on high alert, as persistently high inflation may delay monetary easing and increase volatility in stocks and crypto. Caution is required in the coming phase. 📊⚠️
🚀 $DASH returns with legendary performance. Will we see 100?
The currency $DASH showed very strong performance yesterday, reaching 68.20 and then correcting towards 55. Maintaining the 50-EMA as support on the 15-minute frame confirmed the presence of buyers, and this was the first signal. The second signal was the double bottom pattern at 56.03, which is the same pattern and reason we entered the DASH trade previously from 37.
Indeed, the currency surged by over 40% to reach 80 and assert its dominance. Currently, strong resistance is at 85.50–86.15. Breaking it opens the way towards 97.80–100. In case of a correction, we want to see 68.20, the previous resistance area, turn into support. ⚠️ Do not be too greedy and try to secure some profits, and be prepared for all scenarios. 📈
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.

$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.
