Foreword
In recent years, gold has benefited from geopolitical instability, global de-dollarization, and the frenzied accumulation by multiple central banks, quickly becoming a popular asset internationally. It has not only repeatedly set new highs but is also seen as the best choice against currency depreciation.
However, this belief quickly changed as gold prices plummeted. On January 30, 2026, gold prices recorded the largest drop in 43 years within just a few hours. Was this a bubble burst or a healthy correction? This article will take you through the history of gold and predict its potential next moves.

Preface
On January 25th at 9 AM, the Xinyi District, which often gathers large crowds on weekends, was even more bustling than usual, as a high-stakes performance was taking place on the exterior of Taipei 101 - Free Solo rock climbing.
Many people may have first heard of Alex Honnold through his climb of Taipei 101, but he was already a world-renowned climbing expert before accomplishing this feat. This article will begin with his unique family upbringing to provide a detailed introduction to the life of Alex Honnold.

What is the KD indicator? What is its purpose?
The core logic of the KD indicator lies in observing the current price's relative position in the market over a period of time. It mainly consists of two lines:
K line (fast line): reacts more sensitively to price and can reflect price fluctuations ahead of time.
D line (slow line): derived from the K line averaged again, thus reacting more smoothly and usually serves as a baseline for confirming trends.
Both lines in the KD indicator fluctuate within the range of 0-100. A higher value indicates that the current price is at a high point compared to the past period, while a lower value indicates a relative low point.

1/19｜Trading Start Point: A Day That Begins at Starbucks
Today is 1/19, Monday. I brought my laptop to Starbucks, thinking of starting this week with a more 'stable' rhythm. In fact, there have been quite a few messages from the community these days, replying to user questions and handling some miscellaneous tasks, making it easy for time to be fragmented.
But I've always had a reminder in my heart: today is not just a workday, today is also a trading day.
Regarding trading, if you put it off to 'let me talk about it when I have time', it will never happen. At the moment I sat down, ordered coffee, and opened the chart, I actually felt a bit emotional. Last month, I was really lucky - I turned 300U into 27,000U.

Introduction
It was originally thought that PerpDEX would be dominated by Hyperliquid and Aster, but unexpectedly, in early 2026, Genius Trading suddenly dropped a bombshell. Not only do they hold Yzi Labs' eight-digit financing, with CZ personally serving as an advisor, but they also clearly announced a TGE in April. This type of straightforward project does not need to go through season after season of point competitions, allowing results to be known in a short time.
Genius' backers: Yzi Labs, who is CZ?
Genius' shocking news for the market has two points: first, Yzi Labs announced tens of millions in financing but did not disclose the actual amount. Is it $10 million or $90 million? The difference is significant, but if only $10 million were invested, most would choose to disclose the amount directly.

What are KD Golden Crossover and Death Crossover?
Let's review the components of the KD indicator: The K line is the fast line, which reacts very sensitively and can instantly capture the latest price fluctuations, while the D line is the slow line, which reacts more sluggishly. It is the moving average of the K line, with a relatively smooth trend, representing a longer-term trend reference. When the two lines with different reaction speeds in KD meet and overlap, it is commonly referred to as a crossover signal.
KD Golden Crossover: The starting point of strengthening momentum
When the K line crosses above the D line, it indicates that the short-term price increase momentum has exceeded the average performance over a past period, suggesting that market momentum is shifting from bearish to bullish. Therefore, this pattern is called the golden crossover in KD, and most investors will see it as a signal indicating the start of an upward trend.

· Escalating from a war of words to acquisition threats
The incident originated from SpaceX's Starlink satellite network. Ryanair's CEO
Michael O’Leary publicly refused to install Musk's Starlink system, citing increased drag and costs.

Musk, unwilling to back down, lashed out on X, even posting multiple insults calling the other side 'idiots' and 'a fool from an accounting background.' The official Ryanair account retaliated during a brief outage of X, asking 'Do you need Wi-Fi too?',

instantly escalating into a public humiliation battle, with the back-and-forth insults quickly attracting many users to join in support.

What is KD indicator divergence?
What is divergence? In simple terms, indicators are tools used to measure price momentum. So under normal circumstances, when the price rises, the indicator should also rise. However, when the price increases but the indicator remains unchanged or even decreases, it can be considered divergence.
Why is KD divergence often seen as a reversal warning?
Assuming a top divergence occurs during an uptrend, when you see the price continuously rising but the KD indicator is getting lower, it means that the upward momentum in the market is waning. Although the market is still rising, the underlying buying pressure and momentum may no longer be able to sustain it, and the price could turn downward at any moment.

Introduction
In early 2026, the cryptocurrency world suddenly had a new hot narrative: Physical robots in Robotics. This is not merely a meme hype, but the first step of AI technology moving from online to reality. Once Robotics is introduced, AI will no longer be just a tool that answers questions online, but a powerful ally that can help humans solve various tasks in life. If you believe Robotics will change the world, it might be wise to start investing in related projects now; perhaps the next hundred-fold coin is hidden within them.
What is the Robotics field?
Robotics refers not to traditional industrial robots, but focuses on Physical AI, which is different from online AIs like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok. Robotics is a tangible intelligent robot that can truly assist humans in making life more convenient.

Preface
If only using 300U, under strict risk control, disciplined execution, and a solid research foundation, how far can a trading system really go? This question stems from witnessing Zijun sharing his experience of growing from 200U to 16,000U while preparing a course. At that moment, I realized that rather than impressive results, what truly matters is verifying whether the method is replicable and whether the risks are genuinely manageable.
So, I decided to fully execute a position rollover plan with real capital of 300U as a practical test of my trading system—not to prove how skilled I am, but to see how far I could go under strict risk control, disciplined execution, and solid research logic.

How are the KD indicator parameters calculated? What is the formula?
To understand the KD indicator, one must first understand its calculation method. The KD indicator consists of three components: RSV, K value, and D value.
Unmatured Random Value RSV
RSV is the foundation of the KD indicator, determining whether the current price is at a high or low point within a certain period.
RSV = (Today's closing price - Lowest price within the past n days) / (Highest price within the past n days - Lowest price within the past n days) × 100
Default value n = 9. Therefore, if today's closing price is the highest within the past 9 days, RSV = 100; conversely, if today's closing price is the lowest within the past 9 days, RSV = 0.

Introduction
With Bitcoin continuously declining recently, many sectors have been affected, especially the PerpDEX space. The token of the leader Hyperliquid, $HYPE, has dropped by over 50% since its September peak, indicating that market discussion and liquidity remain low.
In this period of stagnation, prediction markets have shown逆势 enthusiasm and imagination, the key being that the leader Polymarket has not yet issued its token. As a result, emerging platforms such as Kalshi, Opinion, and Predict.fun have attracted significant attention. They differ in regulation and mechanisms, offering investors low-risk, high-potential entry paths in a market where the situation remains unclear.

Introduction
In the cryptocurrency market, information overload has become a concern for every investor. Countless projects emerge daily, and retail investors and newcomers often spend a lot of time searching for information. More seriously, many people tend to use general-purpose AI tools like ChatGPT and Grok in the cryptocurrency field, which often leads to confusion, fabricating outdated data, or referencing similar projects for analysis.
Thus, the encryption-specific AI - Surf was born. It is not a general-purpose AI model but an intelligent assistant specifically designed for the encryption field. By integrating real-time on-chain data, investor sentiment, and expert knowledge bases, it provides more accurate responses. This article will guide you from zero to mastering Surf AI and explore the most popular encryption AI assistants currently available.

Preface
Many traders, when looking at perpetual contracts, tend to only focus on price trends, neglecting that what truly drives the market behind the price is the accumulation and liquidation of leveraged positions.
So you will see this scene:
The price hasn't dropped yet, but you've been liquidated.
The funding rate is already very high, yet the market continues to rise.
It seems overwhelmingly bearish, yet the market suddenly surges.
These phenomena can all be explained to some extent by the changes in Funding Rate and OI.
Funding Rate and Open Interest are the two core indicators for assessing the leverage status of the crypto perpetual contract market. This article will provide a comprehensive tutorial to dissect the definitions, operational logic, common misconceptions, and four major market scenarios of these two indicators, and assist readers in grasping trend extension, reversal, and liquidation risks through a trader's framework.

Introduction
Stablecoins, as the most practical assets in cryptocurrency, have gradually integrated into real life with payment forms. However, Layer 1 blockchains focused on stablecoin payments face the dilemma of low on-chain activity and even price collapse.
It is against this challenging backdrop that Tempo launched its testnet with a very high amount of financing and strong capabilities. This article will introduce this neutral blockchain, which can use stablecoins as Gas Fees, and guide you to interact with the testnet early.
Introduction to the origins and development financing of Tempo
In early 2025, Stripe and Paradigm jointly incubated Tempo, creating a Layer 1 blockchain focused on stablecoin payments and dedicated to solving existing challenges such as dynamic fees and settlement delays.

What are Bollinger Bands?
Bollinger Bands are dynamic indicators used to measure market volatility and the relative high and low of prices. Unlike traditional static indicators that always move according to a formula, they automatically adjust the width of the channel based on the degree of market fluctuation, thus being praised as indicators that breathe with the market.
The three core lines of Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands consist of three track lines: the upper band, middle band, and lower band. Their positions can effectively help investors determine the market, especially when the price touches the upper/lower band, which may indicate that the market is in a trend.

Foreword: Predicting Market Emergence: Mechanisms Shape Probabilities
Throughout the history of financial markets, prices have always been the carriers of information. However, traditional financial markets can only reflect the present value of assets, but they cannot accurately quantify the probability of "future events" occurring.
In recent years, the booming gambling culture and various elections and wars have fueled the rise of prediction markets. Market estimates suggest that the online prediction market will exceed $150 billion within three years. Prediction markets allow users to earn high returns by betting on predictions. Coupled with the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies and the integration of DeFi, which eliminates the need for traditional financial intermediaries and makes participation easier for global users, this trend of 100x betting in prediction markets stems from an era of increasing wealth inequality and a strong desire for asymmetric returns.

What is the Bollinger Band pattern? How to determine market changes?
In technical analysis, the Bollinger Bands are not just rigid three lines, but a technical indicator that analyzes market volatility and visualizes trends for investors. The Bollinger Bands consist of three core components:
Middle Band: default is the 20-day simple moving average SMA 20.
Upper Band: Middle Band + 2 times standard deviation.
Lower Band: Middle Band - 2 times standard deviation.
Volatility reflects market sentiment: the key to pattern formation
The most distinctive feature of the Bollinger Bands is the introduction of the concept of standard deviation, which in statistics is used to measure the dispersion of data, while in the market it can represent market volatility.

Introduction: The airdrop market is fatigued, Zui Lu exposure dilemma
Recently, the performance of the cryptocurrency airdrop market has been lackluster. Many once high-profile projects with high FDV, such as MON and KTNQ, are accompanied by high costs during interactions, resulting in low return rates and even negative returns. This has left many airdrop hunters and on-chain players feeling exhausted by the cumbersome interactions, turning their attention to zero-cost, low-threshold 'Zui Lu'.
The narrative of InfoFi was pioneered this year by Kaito, combining content creation and financial rewards, allowing creators to earn token airdrops by sharing knowledge and insights. However, traditional InfoFi platforms are often monopolized by big influencers and traffic giants, leaving small creators, especially users in the Chinese-speaking area, frequently facing insufficient exposure and difficulty in ranking to share rewards. A casual 'Good morning' tweet from a big influencer can earn traffic points that far exceed the painstaking long reports from small to medium creators.

Preface
Recently, adverse events for investors have frequently occurred in the cryptocurrency market, whether it be multiple stablecoin collapses, Terminal, Ethena rewards falling short of expectations, or major cryptocurrencies plummeting. This inevitably leads investors to ponder whether the short-term market can remain optimistic.
In such a bleak market, participatory finance has become a safe haven for low-risk investors. TaskOn not only allows investors to participate and learn about the cryptocurrency space at zero cost, but also offers real monetary rewards for users to earn.
TaskOn Introduction
TaskOn is one of the leaders in participatory financialization, primarily serving as a bridge between project parties and users, guiding users to fulfill the requirements of project parties, thereby earning rewards.
