#Crypto Trading: A Brief Overview

Crypto trading is the buying and selling of digital currencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other altcoins through online platforms called exchanges. Unlike traditional markets, the crypto market operates 24/7, allowing traders to trade at any time from anywhere in the world.

The main goal of crypto trading is to profit from price movements. Traders use different strategies such as day trading, swing trading, and long-term holding. Prices in the crypto market are highly volatile, which means there are frequent opportunities to make profits—but also higher risks of loss.

Successful crypto trading requires knowledge of market trends, technical analysis, and risk management. Traders often analyze charts, trading volume, and indicators like support and resistance levels to make informed decisions. Staying updated with news is also important, as regulations, technology updates, and global events can strongly affect prices.

Although crypto trading offers exciting opportunities, it is not risk-free. Beginners should start with small investments, use secure exchanges, and never trade more than they can afford to lose. With proper education, discipline, and patience, crypto trading can become a valuable skill in the modern digital economy.

Future Trading: Plus and Minus Points

Futures trading is a popular financial instrument used by traders and investors to speculate on price movements or hedge against risk.

While it offers attractive opportunities, it also comes with significant challenges. Understanding both the advantages and disadvantages is essential before entering futures markets.

Minus Points:
Despite its benefits, futures trading carries high risk. Leverage works both ways, meaning losses can exceed the initial investment.

Futures markets can be extremely volatile, leading to sudden and unexpected price swings. Traders must also manage margin requirements, and failure to do so can result in forced liquidation.

Moreover, futures trading requires strong discipline, technical knowledge, and emotional control, making it unsuitable for beginners without proper education.

#BTC The upward trend amid increasing pressure from the White House on the US Federal Reserve's Leadership may prove temporary.

The BTC/USD pair is holding within a medium-term downtrend, but the past week has seen mixed performance.

Following the launch of Operation Midnight Hammer by the US military and the subsequent arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, accused of narco-terrorism, prices headed towards 94700.00.

However, concerns about a possible January pause in monetary easing by the US Federal Reserve later returned to the market, and "digital gold" lost all its gains.

Today, the price is once again trying to return to an upward trend, the main driver of which could be the escalation of relations between the White House and the leadership of the US Federal Reserve.

# Cash amid regulatory

Privacy coins set to take the lead in 2026 as regulation accelerates demand for on-chain anonymity.

The segment of privacy coins outperforms the broader cryptocurrency market, with a roughly 290% rise in 2025.

The rising user count on the cryptocurrency tumbler Tornado Cash amid regulatory pushes, such as the 2025 GENIUS Act, reflects a surge in demand for privacy.

Andreessen Horowitz anticipates narratives such as “secrets-as-a-service” and “spec is law” could make privacy the strongest moat for crypto in 2026.

#ADA

Cardano rises, driven by softer US inflation

The US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report shows that headline inflation increased by 2.7% annually in December, in line with forecasts.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report highlighted that core inflation rose 2.6%, softer than the expected 2.7%, indicating mild cooling in underlying price pressures excluding food and energy.

Cryptocurrency prices rose slightly after the CPI report, with ADA rising above $0.40. If the rebound steadies, interest in crypto assets could pick up ahead of the Federal Reserve (Fed) policy meeting at the end of the month; however, the market has partly priced in the possibility that the Fed will leave rates unchanged in the 3.50%-3.75% range.

#ADA
Cardano Price Forecast:
ADA eyes short-term breakout amid soft US inflation.

Cardano rises by over 2% as prices across the cryptocurrency market react to softer than expected US inflation.

ADA holds above the 50 and 100 EMAs on the 4-hour chart, with bulls eyeing a short-term breakout above $0.42.

Retail interest in ADA remains low, as reflected by futures Open Interest declining to $742 million.

#BNB Forecast

BNB (BNB), formerly known as Binance Coin, is trading above $910 at the time of writing on Tuesday, nearing the upper consolidation boundary. The two months of sideways price action could end, with improving sentiment in the derivatives market suggesting potential upside. On the technical side, a confirmed breakout could open the door for a rally toward the $1,064 target.

#BNB

BNB Price Forecast:
On the verge of breakout as derivatives traders bet on gains

BNB price nears the upper boundary of its recent consolidation range after trading within in for around two months.

Derivatives metrics support bullish sentiment as open interest and long bets rise alongside positive funding rates.

The technical outlook indicates that any breakout could reach the $1,064 target.

# Funding Rates

How does Funding rates affect cryptocurrency prices?

Funding fees bridge the difference between spot prices and prices of futures contracts of an asset by increasing liquidation risks faced by traders. A consistently high and positive funding rate implies there is a bullish sentiment among market participants and there is an expectation of a price hike.

A consistently negative funding rate for an asset implies a bearish sentiment, indicating that traders expect the cryptocurrency’s price to fall and a bearish trend reversal is likely to occur.

#CRYPTO

How does Open Interest affect cryptocurrency prices?

Higher Open Interest is associated with higher liquidity and new capital inflow to the market. This is considered the equivalent of increase in efficiency and the ongoing trend continues. When Open Interest decreases, it is considered a sign of liquidation in the market, investors are leaving and the overall demand for an asset is on a decline, fueling a bearish sentiment among investors.

#XRP Active Addresses Metric

Source: Glassnode

Meanwhile, the XRP derivatives market has continued to weaken since January 6, when futures Open Interest (OI) surged to $4.55 billion. CoinGlass data shows the OI, representing the outstanding value of futures contracts, averaging $3.93 billion on Tuesday, reflecting the gradual decay.

This persistent decline suggests investors are losing confidence in XRP’s ability to sustain the uptrend and may be employing risk management measures to limit further losses.

#XRP

Low on-chain activity weighs on XRP price outlook

The number of addresses actively transacting on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) has declined by 17.5% to approximately 42,600 as of Monday from 51,500 recorded on January 5, according to Glassnode’s data.

Address activity on the protocol has persistently declined since July, from above 66,000, signaling reduced user engagement. Further decline would mean low retail demand, thereby depriving XRP of the tailwind needed to sustain the recovery.
