Crypto Majorly Red, Gold & Silver see massive selloff, Washington gives Crypto Green Light

Monitor Bitcoin (BTC) closely, as a drop below the critical $80,000 support level could signal a much deeper market downturn. For a strong performing asset, consider Canton (CANTO), which is a leader in the Real World Asset (RWA) sector and continues to reach all-time highs. In the high-risk speculative space, the AI narrative on the Base network is dominant, with Banker (BANKER) highlighted as a resilient project with significant upside potential. Hyperliquid (HYPE) presents a potential opportunity, as its strong platform growth has not yet been fully reflected in its price due to market weakness. Finally, investors may prefer holding Bitcoin directly over MicroStrategy (MSTR), which has been underperforming as a proxy investment.

Analysts view Hyperliquid (HYPE) as a high-conviction buying opportunity on any dips, citing its strong fundamentals and relative strength during the market crash. Conversely, there is a strong bearish conviction on Solana (SOL), with some traders actively shorting the token with a price target of $100. For the broader market, watch Bitcoin (BTC) closely, as a break below the critical $84,400 support level could signal a further drop towards $80,000. Tesla (TSLA) is making a major strategic shift by discontinuing the Model S and Model X to focus on the Model Y and its autonomy goals. The recent "super cycle" rally and subsequent crash in metals serves as a warning against chasing overcrowded and extremely volatile trades.

Consider waiting for a pullback on Hyperliquid (HYPE), as a better entry point near the $30 level is anticipated after its recent rapid price increase. The strong bullish trend for Gold is expected to continue, driven by the weakening US dollar. Ethereum (ETH) is positioned to outperform Bitcoin (BTC) due to positive developments around AI integration and staking. A potential trade is emerging in Monero (XMR), which is considered attractive at the $480 price level. Investors should be cautious with the new Moonbirds (BURB) token due to its high valuation and significant future sell pressure from token unlocks.

Analysts are highly bullish on the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid (HYPE), citing massive trading volume and a potential price target of $30-$36. They believe the recent bottom was established around the $20 level, with the token currently trading near $27.50. The platform is benefiting from the hot metals trading theme, with Silver and Gold seeing huge volume, which could continue to drive HYPE's growth. For those looking for related opportunities, other perpetual exchanges like Aster or Lighter are mentioned as potential 'catch-up trades' if HYPE continues its upward trend. While major cryptocurrencies are flat, institutional investors are showing a strong preference for Ethereum (ETH), with its ETFs seeing significantly higher inflows than Bitcoin (BTC).

A commodity super cycle is underway, driven by the AI boom, making raw materials an attractive investment. Consider investing in Copper as it benefits from a looming supply shortage and strong demand from the AI and defense industries. For crypto exposure, Ethereum (ETH) is positioned to outperform Bitcoin (BTC) over the next 1-2 years as it actively works to become quantum-resistant. Be cautious with Bitcoin (BTC) due to its weak technical outlook and unresolved quantum security risks. Finally, avoid recent and upcoming crypto-related IPOs, as the market sentiment is extremely negative.

With Gold showing strong momentum and JP Morgan targeting $6,000, consider exposure to the precious metal as it continues its powerful rally. The primary bullish thesis for Bitcoin (BTC) is the "ketchup trade," which anticipates a parabolic price move as institutional ETF demand eventually outstrips supply. For a higher-risk opportunity, consider the crypto trading platform Hyperliquid (HYPE), as a major seller is reportedly close to running out of tokens, which could remove significant selling pressure. The new AI project Sentient AGI (SENT) is a compelling asset to watch, given its strong venture backing and immediate listing on Coinbase. Finally, look into Copper as a potential long-term trade, based on the thesis that massive demand from AI is depleting global supply.

Consider accumulating Ethereum (ETH) as a long-term investment to gain exposure to the Tokenization of Real World Assets (RWA) theme, a market projected to reach $28 trillion.

For Bitcoin, consider waiting for a clear breakout above its key resistance level before entering a new position to avoid the current market chop. Similarly, a patient approach is recommended for Ethereum, with potential entry points being a dip to $2,700 or a confirmed breakout above $3,300. Keep an eye on the decentralized exchange token HYPE, as a potential entry point around $18 may appear once a large, known seller finishes liquidating their position. Outside of crypto, analysts are very bullish on Gold, which recently hit a new all-time high and is seen as having a clear path to the $5,000 level. Overall, the current crypto market is viewed as a dangerous trading environment, reinforcing the strategy of waiting for clearer signals before committing capital.

The market is showing weakness; a weekly close for Bitcoin (BTC) below $94,000 could signal a further drop towards $86,000. Ethereum (ETH) is testing a critical support level at $2,975, and a sustained break below this price would be a significant bearish signal. Traders looking for a discounted entry on Hyperliquid (HYPR) may find opportunities if the price falls to the $18 or $13 levels. Keep an eye on the highly anticipated launch of the MegaETH (MEGA) token, which is expected around mid-February. For a long-term strategy, consider accumulating Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) to gain exposure to the powerful tokenization theme.

Amid market uncertainty, Gold and Silver are outperforming as safe-haven assets, with Gold looking primed to reach $5K and Silver approaching $100. In contrast, Bitcoin (BTC) has broken below its key support range of $94,000 - $95,600, signaling continued bearish pressure. Ethereum (ETH) is at a pivotal support level of $3,200; holding this price could signal a potential move towards $3,600 - $4,000. The privacy coin Monero (XMR) continues to show relative strength, solidifying its position as a leader in its category. Investors should avoid highly speculative AI coins like GAS and SURGE, which have demonstrated extreme volatility and rapid, significant losses.

For Bitcoin (BTC), holding the $94,500 support level is a key bullish signal for a potential move towards $100,000. Consider Solana (SOL) as it is showing strong outperformance due to a significant increase in on-chain activity. Users of the Pump.fun platform may qualify for a future token airdrop by interacting with the service, offering a potential reward for early adopters.

Given high market volatility, consider focusing on major assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) over more speculative altcoins. Bitcoin shows strong bullish momentum, with a daily close above $100,000 potentially signaling a move towards the next target of $106,000. Some investors are rotating into Ethereum, viewing the $3,000 to $3,250 price range as a strong buying opportunity. Be extremely cautious with Kaido (KAIDO), as a recent policy change by X (Twitter) threatens its core business model and has caused the price to fall sharply. Finally, keep an eye on the newly launched Football.fun (FUN) token, as the upcoming World Cup could serve as a major catalyst for its platform.

Similarly, Ethereum (ETH) presents a compelling opportunity, as its chart is considered very strong with a potential price target of $4,000. Investors watching Solana (SOL) should look for a price break above the $165 - $167 level as a key signal for its next major move.

For investors seeking exposure through traditional stocks, Sharplink Gaming (SBET) acts as a publicly traded proxy for a leveraged, actively managed ETH position. On a shorter timeframe, privacy coin Monero (XMR) is a top trade showing extreme momentum after hitting a new all-time high of $680. Analysts are also watching for a potential Bitcoin (BTC) breakout to $102,000, driven by renewed institutional ETF inflows. Outside of crypto, Google (GOOGL) is considered a bullish trade due to a significant new contract with Apple.
