In his weekly analysis, Cody Feng, a quantitative trading expert, reviews Bitcoin's price action from January 5 to 11. BTC movement aligned closely with his initial forecast, trading within a range of $84,000 to $94,500. The price faced strong resistance at the $93,000–$94,500 zone and later pulled back toward the mid-to-lower part of the range. A short position was executed near $94,000 based on signals from momentum and spread trading models, and the trade was closed around $90,584, capturing a profit of approximately 3.4%. The strategy emphasized pre-planned execution and disciplined risk management. Currently, Bitcoin has found support around $86,500, with technical indicators suggesting oversold conditions and a potential bounce. However, the overall structure remains a broad consolidation. A rebound toward $92,000–$93,000 is anticipated, where renewed selling pressure may emerge. A break above $94,500 would require a reassessment of the market outlook. Feng concludes that in a ranging market, executing well-defined strategies with strict risk controls is more critical than predicting directional moves.

Bitcoin Mid-Week Review(01.05~01.11)

Conclusion First:

This week, Bitcoin's overall price action largely operated within the 84,000~94,500 USD oscillation range we provided at the beginning of the week. The price precisely encountered resistance in the 93,000~94,500 USD pressure zone and subsequently fell back to the middle-lower part of the range. Our core level judgments were verified by actual market performance.

In this trade, we established short positions near 94,000 USD and exited all positions near 91,000 USD, capturing approximately 3.4% profit (spot) from the range, completing a high-probability, low-drawdown profit realization in a ranging market.

I. Validation of This Week's Core Range and Key Levels

At the beginning of the week, we clearly stated that this week required close attention to the battle between bulls and bears at the upper and lower boundaries of the 84,000~94,500 USD range.

The actual movement showed that Bitcoin clearly met resistance after rebounding to the 93,000~94,500 USD pressure zone, with multiple failed attempts to break higher, subsequently leading to a pullback under pressure, validating the effectiveness of this area as a阶段性 "ceiling".

Regarding support levels, the price showed clear signs of stopping declines and stabilizing after falling to the 86,000~86,500 USD area, where buying interest began to emerge. The more critical support level at 84,000 USD has not been touched yet, and the overall structure remains within the wide-range oscillation framework.

II. Execution of Plan A (From Entry to Exit)

Based on the range oscillation judgment, our Plan A formulated at the start of the week was effectively executed.

When the price rebounded to the 93,000~94,500 USD zone showing signs of upward exhaustion, and both the (momentum, spread trading) models simultaneously issued top signals, we immediately established short positions at 93,771 USD. The market subsequently declined as expected.

When the "Spread Trading" model issued a bottom signal, we finally exited all positions at 90,584 USD, completing a full, emotion-free short trade. The entire trading process was not "hindsight analysis" but involved pre-planning, in-execution, and post-verification.

III. Operational Thoughts for the Latter Half of the Week

Bitcoin 4-Hour Chart: (Momentum Quantitative Model + Spread Trading Model)

From the 4-hour technical structure (see chart above), Bitcoin has currently found effective support near 86,500 USD. Multiple technical indicators have entered oversold territory, indicating short-term selling pressure has been released. The market has a demand for a technical rebound correction (oscillatory rebound), but this is not yet sufficient to confirm a reversal of the downtrend.

Based on this, we anticipate the price may first rebound to test the 92,000~93,000 USD area. This level also coincides with the middle-upper part of the previous oscillation range and is expected to form resistance again.

For short-term operations, maintain a range-trading mindset: if the price reaches this zone and shows signs of momentum exhaustion or failed breakouts, consider building short positions on rallies; if it effectively breaks above 94,500 USD, stop loss decisively and reassess the market structure.

IV. Summary

Overall, Bitcoin continues to operate within the wide-range oscillation pattern defined at the beginning of the week: lower support provides room for rebounds, while upper resistance limits the upside. At present, rather than betting on a unilateral trend, it is more important to respect the range structure, focus on high-probability levels, and maintain strict risk control.

In ranging markets, formulating flexible response strategies and achieving stable profits is far more important than predicting direction.

Raising Interest Rates Is Not a Tech Killer, EPS Is: A Strategy for Discarding the Weak and Retaining the Strong After the AI Theme's Sharp Decline

**Summary: Rising Interest Rates Are Not the Killer of Tech; EPS Is: The "Keep the Strong, Ditch the Weak" Strategy After the AI Theme Plunge** The author argues that the sharp sell-off in tech and AI-related stocks, triggered by a strong US jobs report that heightened Fed rate hike fears, represents a "pullback to pick up passengers" rather than a "car crash." The true end of a tech bull market is not determined by an extra 25 basis point hike, but by industry overcapacity and the disproval of earnings per share (EPS) expectations. Historical analysis shows that during past rate hike cycles, the Nasdaq-100 often outperformed, provided EPS growth remained strong. The current phase is seen as a shift from a "broad narrative-driven rally" to a "focused verification stage" for AI. The investment strategy should be to "keep the strong, ditch the weak." * **Retain exposure** to high-conviction AI infrastructure leaders with clear order visibility, stable margins, strong cash flow, and upward EPS revisions (e.g., AI servers, advanced packaging, optical modules, key cloud suppliers). * **Reduce exposure** to high-beta, narrative-driven stocks with unclear profit paths (e.g., some quantum computing, space, or speculative chip stocks), especially on rebounds. Valuation concerns should focus on whether earnings can catch up to high multiples, not on high P/E alone. Crowded positioning signals a concentration into quality assets, not necessarily a market top. The upcoming Q2 earnings season will be a key validation point. The core principle is to hold stocks with proven EPS, while using macro events (CPI data, central bank meetings) to manage timing and risk.

CLARITY Act Hits New Roadblock As Ethics Agreement Collapses In Senate Talks

The CLARITY Act has encountered a new obstacle as a bipartisan Senate group's agreement on ethics provisions collapsed. Republicans reportedly reversed their position on a key element that would have allowed state attorneys general to sue the Department of Justice for failing to enforce ethics rules related to President Trump. Democrats viewed this as an "about face" from a prior tentative deal. As a counter-proposal, Republicans suggested limiting enforcement authority to the Attorney General and mentioned impeachment as a potential remedy for violations. The impasse leaves the crypto market structure bill's path to a full Senate vote uncertain. Another major hurdle involves law enforcement groups' concerns that the bill could hinder investigations into blockchain-related crimes like money laundering. The White House Crypto Council is scheduled to meet with these groups to address these issues, particularly around the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act. Key Democratic senators have stated their support for the CLARITY Act is contingent on adequately addressing both ethics and law enforcement concerns.

The Largest IPO in History Ignites Heated Debate: Is SpaceX Worth $1.77 Trillion?

SpaceX's potential IPO is priced at $135 per share, aiming to raise $75 billion and valuing the company at approximately $1.77 trillion, which would make it the largest IPO in history. This valuation has sparked intense debate among investors. Bullish analysts, including major underwriters Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, argue the valuation is justified by SpaceX's long-term potential. They see it not just as a rocket company but as a future leader in space infrastructure, with key growth drivers being Starlink satellite internet, low-cost rocket launches, and future AI-related ventures. They project revenues reaching hundreds of billions to trillions of dollars by 2030-2040. ARK Invest's model suggests a 2030 enterprise value could reach $2.5 trillion. Bearish analysts from independent research firms like Morningstar, PitchBook, and New Constructs contend the IPO price is excessively high, already pricing in unrealistic future growth. Using DCF and sum-of-the-parts models, they estimate fair value between $780 billion and $1.7 trillion, significantly below the IPO target. They highlight risks such as the speculative nature of AI projections, over-dependence on Elon Musk, high growth expectations, and corporate governance concerns. Trefis set a target price of just $79 per share. While both sides acknowledge SpaceX's unique position in commercial space, the core disagreement centers on whether the $135 share price offers a reasonable margin of safety or is overly optimistic. Despite the valuation controversy, reported strong demand for the IPO indicates significant market interest.

Japan’s Largest Banks Eye FY2026 Stablecoin Rollout Amid Regulatory Push

Japan's three largest banks—MUFG Bank, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp., and Mizuho Bank—are advancing plans to launch a jointly-issued yen-pegged stablecoin by the end of fiscal year 2026 (March 31, 2027). They have established a voluntary council to develop the operational framework, governance, and issuance infrastructure for the token, which will be issued under a trust agreement. The move aligns with Japan's regulatory push to expand its yen-based digital asset market, following 2022 amendments to the Payment Services Act that restrict stablecoin issuance to licensed entities like banks and trust companies. The banks, which began exploring this initiative in late 2025, aim to support a wide range of use cases and are considering future collaborations with other financial institutions. This development occurs alongside other yen-stablecoin launches and recent political proposals to promote such tokens for settlement in Asia.

After the Passage of the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act, What Is the Correct Architecture for On-Chain Yield?

The article discusses the evolution of on-chain credit, distinguishing three markets: overcollateralized crypto lending, unsecured lending (largely unsuccessful), and asset-backed credit (ABC). ABC, backed by identifiable real-world collateral with legal recourse, is identified as the fastest-growing category and the only one credibly addressing adverse selection—the core problem in credit where the riskiest borrowers self-select. Current growth in on-chain Real World Assets (RWAs), particularly tokenized private credit funds (e.g., Maple Finance, Centrifuge), is substantial but often merely "wraps" existing fund structures, inheriting their risks rather than solving adverse selection at the protocol level. The regulatory landscape is a key driver, with the US GENIUS Act (prohibiting stablecoin issuers from paying yield) and the proposed CLARITY Act (closing loopholes on indirect yield) set to redefine permissible yield-bearing products. This makes vaults (like ERC-4626) the critical architecture—they become the primary compliant vehicle for delivering yield, functioning as issuance, disclosure, distribution, and recovery mechanisms. The author's thesis is that the correct post-GENIUS/CLARITY architecture involves building ABC solutions where credit assessment, structure, and recovery are encoded directly into the smart contract vault layer, moving beyond mere tokenized fund wrappers to solve adverse selection fundamentally and ensure regulatory compliance.
