A busy week in macroeconomics with political risks in the United States.
On the agenda, the market enters a sensitive phase for data and statements: durable goods orders on Monday (indicating industrial activity), consumer confidence and manufacturing index on Tuesday, the Federal Reserve decision on Wednesday with Powell’s press conference, unemployment claims on Thursday, and the Producer Price Index on Friday (inflation at the wholesale level, which usually affects interest rates and the dollar).
Meanwhile, the shutdown issue is gaining momentum again as the January 31 deadline approaches.

RIPPLE SCORES RIYAD BANK PARTNERSHIP
🇸🇦 Ripple just partnered with Riyad Bank's innovation unit Jeel to test blockchain for cross-border payments, digital asset custody & tokenization in Saudi Arabia.
This MoU directly backs Vision 2030’s financial modernization goals. Riyad Bank manages $130B+ in assets. Ripple’s ME push continues to gain momentum, with $RLUSD now at ~$1.42B in circulation & $XRP Ledger tokenized assets >$1B.
This reflects a broader global trend of banks and asset managers exploring tokenization for efficiency in capital markets. In the Middle East, clearer regulations (e

Oh boy. We all know how this goes. Please don’t give them your money.

Haha, we had a fight.

January 26 Summary
Today, the overall rhythm of the Silk Road was mainly to rebound and short.
Our strategy was to establish short positions around 88,000—89,000, and indeed the market repeatedly tested this range before quickly retreating, which is completely consistent with the Silk Road analysis released earlier this morning.
Although both bulls and bears had opportunities, the bearish momentum was clearly stronger, and the trend was more obvious.
Hitting the mark once or twice might be luck;
but if you can maintain consistent and stable judgment, it must be based on in-depth analysis and r

I'm looking at 2026 through a single window:
A year where infrastructure wins and stories lose.
The upward movement of BTC with regulatory clarity tells me:
The market is no longer asking “what do you promise,” but “what works.”
That’s why my focus is on three points:
• Autonomous systems: On-chain structures that operate without human intervention and make their own decisions
• Compliant assets: Products that can attract institutional capital without gray areas
• Scalability: Layers that enable these structures to operate at low cost
In 2026, what I seek is not hype;
but infrastructure that p

$GOLD / $BTCHere is a fun chart to look at. Why? It shows the relationship of this latest GOLD run vs BTC. The resistance lines are there to show where strength from gold could move towards bitcoin.We are not far away from that swap.

#GateTradFi1gGoldGiveaway, Gold and Bitcoin are often compared as stores of value, especially during times of economic uncertainty, inflation, and geopolitical tension. While both aim to preserve wealth, they operate in very different ways and appeal to different types of investors.
Gold has a history of over five thousand years as money and a safe haven. Central banks hold gold as a reserve asset, and it is widely trusted across cultures and financial systems. Its value is supported by physical scarcity, industrial use, and jewelry demand. Gold is relatively stable, less volatile than most as

ALTS COULD GO PARABOLIC IN 2026 🚨
$DXY has broken below the 97 level today.
History shows that once DXY goes below 96, alts go parabolic.
In July 2017, DXY dropped below 96.
Alts pumped 4,800% in just 6 months.
In July 2020, DXY dropped below 96.
Alts pumped 1,600% in 10 months.
Now with Fed's possible Yen intervention, DXY could dump below 96.
If that happens, alts could enter a Supercycle and go parabolic.
