 Blockchain Investing Strategies: Cryptocurrency Trading Guide podcast.

Yo, it’s Crypto Willy, and this week in blockchain investing has been all about trading smart while the big dogs shuffle the deck.

Bitcoin is still the main liquidity anchor, chopping around the **$90k** zone as spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. keep pulling in serious capital. InvestingHaven notes that Bitcoin around $90,500 is acting like the market’s steering wheel, with ETF inflows and outflows whipping price in both directions. Binance’s January 10 market update backs that up, showing BTC hovering near $90,400 while total crypto market cap sits around **$3.09 trillion**. When you build a trading strategy this week, you treat BTC as your macro signal: if ETF flows and funding rates drift neutral like Binance reports, you assume range trading, not full send.

Ethereum is where the traders who love *usage plus volatility* are hanging out. InvestingHaven has ETH above **$3,090**, still the go‑to smart contract platform with DeFi, stablecoin flows, and NFTs keeping fees and activity alive. Santiment’s weekly breakdown says Ethereum just logged its **highest network growth spike of the decade** on January 7, with a massive surge in new addresses. As an investing signal, that screams, “hype zone, short‑term correction risk.” Their analysts Brian and Maksim warn that these vertical spikes often precede cool‑downs, with possible ETH targets down in the **$2,600–$2,800** area before the longer‑term bullish trend resumes. So the pro move this week: if you’re trading ETH, tighten stops, consider scaling out into strength, and look to ladder spot bids lower rather than aping in after a parabolic on‑chain signal.

XRP has quietly been the **decoupler of the week**. InvestingHaven notes XRP near **$2.09** with sharp early‑January gains, heavily tied to new XRP spot ETF inflows. Santiment calls out XRP as one of the assets that broke away from Bitcoin’s direction in the first days of the year, which is exactly the kind of behavior narrative traders hunt. Practically, that means if you’re running a rotation strategy, XRP becomes your momentum leg: watch ETF flow data, intraday volume, and funding. If flows stay hot while BTC chops sideways, XRP is a legit candidate for short‑term trend trades with clear invalidation below the ETF‑driven breakout levels.

Zooming out, ZebPay’s January 9 technical report shows Bitcoin getting smacked down near **$93k** and then consolidating around **$89,250**, which lines up with this whole “grind, don’t moon” environment. They also highlight that U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled in about **$697 million** in a single day and **$1.1 billion** over the first two sessions of 2026 after months of outflows. That’s the kind of structural bid you build swing strategies around: buy the bloody pullbacks, not the vertical candles, and let institutions do the heavy lifting.

Overlay that with Tom Lee at Fundstrat going on CNBC and calling for Bitcoin to take out its **$126k** all‑time high by the end of January, plus a **$200k–$250k** target for 2026, and you get the psychology backdrop: bold Wall Street voices are back to ultra‑bull mode. For us traders, that’s a reminder to respect the upside but double‑respect risk management. When macro is turning dovish, ETFs are stacking sats, and sentiment is still shaky, the edge is usually in **structured plans**: defined entries, staggered take‑profits, and no hero leverage.

So if you’re shaping a blockchain investing and trading playbook this week: use **Bitcoin** as your risk gauge, treat **Ethereum**’s address explosion as a caution light for short‑term froth, and ride **XRP** only if you’re disciplined with data and stops.
