The dollar could get stronger if the view that the Fed's rate-cutting cycle may be over dominates the market. After the release of strong US employment data on Friday, Bank of America's "baseline scenario" is that the Fed will remain on hold for a long time, and the probability of the next move is "biased towards rate hikes." If the Fed's next move looks like a rate hike rather than a rate cut, it will add fuel to the bullish momentum of the dollar. At least five Fed officials will speak this week, with a focus on FOMC permanent voting member and New York Fed President Williams. (Jinshi)

According to Odaily, QCP Capital has indicated that inflation appears to be resurfacing as the U.S. economy shows signs of overheating. Last Friday, non-farm payrolls surged by 256,000, significantly exceeding the forecast of 164,000. Following the release of last week's macroeconomic data, any speculation about imminent interest rate cuts has dissipated, leading to a sharp decline in the stock market. Additionally, tariffs potentially implemented during the Trump era have sparked further inflation concerns. Despite the unfavorable macroeconomic environment and persistent rumors about the Silk Road, cryptocurrencies seem to have found stability, with support levels at $91,000 and $3,100 remaining intact. Implied volatility is also at relatively low levels and continues to decline, with only a slight bearish skew in the front-end market before Trump's inauguration. While the volatility market shows little reaction, cryptocurrencies are not yet out of the woods. The macroeconomic storm continues to loom, with the Producer Price Index (January 14), Consumer Price Index (January 15), and initial jobless claims (January 16) set to be released, potentially fueling market volatility. As the U.S. economy heats up, this week will be a true test for cryptocurrencies to demonstrate their role as a hedge against inflation.

QCP Capital wrote that inflation is suspected to be back, and the US economy does show signs of overheating, with non-farm payrolls surging by 256,000 last Friday, far exceeding the forecast of 164,000. After the release of macro data last week, any rumors of an imminent rate cut disappeared, and the stock market fell sharply. The possible tariffs in the Trump era have also raised more inflation concerns. Despite the unfavorable macro environment and the lingering rumors of Silk Road, cryptocurrencies seem to have gained a foothold, as the support levels of $91,000 and $3,100 currently remain unchanged. Implied volatility is also at a relatively low level and continues to decline, with a slight bearish bias in the front-end market just before Trump's inauguration. Although the volatility market has not reacted much, cryptocurrencies have not yet escaped the dilemma. The macro storm is still shrouded, and the producer price index (January 14), consumer price index (January 15) and initial jobless claims (January 16) are about to be announced, which may add fuel to the market fire. As the U.S. economy heats up, this week will be a real test for cryptocurrencies to see if they can work as a hedge against inflation.

The glowing red sky from the fires that has devoured Southern California has taken everything from residents; homes, offices and memories. But a 70-year-old woman has lost more than her home; she had lost all her life savings after discovering that both her crypto wallet and private keys were both stored at home. Since no backup or recovery phrase was created, the woman is now locked out of her crypto assets. The 70-year-old woman's nephew took to social media to describe the family's plight, writing "Most of her savings were in crypto and she lost her wallet and seed phrase, and doesn't have backups. I feel sick. This is all she had." Sparked a conversation on crypto wallet protection This tragic event has highlighted how crucial it is to securely store both the wallet and private key separately. The private key serves as the gateway to a crypto wallet, and without it, there is no way to regain access to the funds. In this instance, the absence of a robust backup system has led to the permanent loss of her savings, highlighting a critical vulnerability that crypto holders must address. While this is a unfortunate event for the family, but it also acts as a precautionary tale for crypto owners to adopt secure storage practices. Experts have recommend keeping seed phrases offline and in multiple secure locations, with many advocating for storage solutions designed to withstand fire or water damage, such as metal backup plates. With the emergence of newer technologies, like seedless wallets and multi-signature systems, it also offers users with a more advanced and reliable way to safeguard their digital assets. Crypto companies also suffered losses from the fire But this 70-year-old woman is not the only person who have lost their valuable digital asset in this fire. Similarly, a few crypto companies in the city have also suffered severe losses after they found themselves in the pathway of the flames. Swan Bitcoin, which has employees based near Santa Monica, and blockchain infrastructure provider BlockDaemon, headquartered in Los Angeles, both reported significant losses, including the destruction of hardware wallets containing valuable cryptocurrency assets after their companies were unfortunately struck by the incoming fire. In the past, we would hardly associate natural disasters with digital assets. But this saga has proved otherwise, and that our digital assets can be vulnerable to fires as well if they are not properly protected. This incident serves as a wake-up call for cryptocurrency holders to reassess their approach to securing digital assets. The loss of funds in this case could have been mitigated with more effective backup strategies or the use of advanced wallet solutions. As natural disasters become increasingly common, crypto users must take proactive steps to protect their holdings against unforeseen events.
