As of January 27, 2026, Bitcoin ($BTC ) is trading around $87,700 - $88,600 (With a live price of $88,300 at the time of writing) showing signs of consolidation after recent volatility. The cryptocurrency has been under pressure from macroeconomic factors, geopolitical tensions (such as U.S.-Iran issues), and market rotations away from risk assets. This has led to a choppy trading environment, with BTC struggling to reclaim higher levels like $90,000 while defending key supports. Short-Term Price Movement (1-30 D

【Some Thoughts on Gold Price Breaking Through $5200】
Seeing the price surge to $5200, honestly, it's a bit shocking. This move from the beginning of the month until now has almost no retracement, with an increase of nearly $900, much faster than I expected. Currently, this level really tests the mindset—buying more fears a pullback, taking profits fears missing out.
Here are my key observations:
1. Weekly Chart Structure: The weekly chart is now an almost vertical rise, and such steep slopes are rarely sustainable over the long term. The last similar sharp move appeared after the 2020 pandemic, followed by a wide-range consolidation.
2. Key Levels: There is no clear technical resistance above, but the 5250-5300 zone is an important Fibonacci extension level and a psychological barrier. Support below first looks at 5100 (former high turned support), with strong support at the round 5000 level.
3. Position Management: I currently hold a small amount of long positions but won't add at this level. If the price retraces to 5100 without breaking below, I might consider adding a bit; if it directly surges above 5250, I will reduce positions in stages.
Market sentiment is clearly overheated now, with geopolitical tensions and rate cut expectations fueling the rally, but be cautious of profit-taking and sudden profit realization. I personally prefer waiting for a correction before looking for opportunities, rather than being the last to jump in.
By the way, Gate's TradFi section makes buying gold quite convenient, especially since you can trade directly with USDT, saving the hassle of currency exchange. However, trading precious metals still requires good stop-loss strategies, as volatility can be larger than expected.
