Trading recommendations for the cryptocurrency market on January 13

[Ben Graham]

The Bitcoin price has stabilized around $92,000, which is a very positive sign and preserves the chances for continued growth. Ether also remains above $3,100, which keeps the prospects for a continuation of the uptrend and a return to $3,200.

Meanwhile, reports indicate that Donald Trump's company, World Liberty Financial, will begin issuing loans secured by crypto assets. This new trend, somewhat similar to classic DeFi, is becoming mainstream in 2026 and is already being implemented by the sitting US president. WLFI will use Dolomite's infrastructure for its new lending service, "WLFI Markets."

WLFI Markets is expected to operate relatively simply: users will be able to pledge their cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other popular altcoins) as collateral and receive loans in US dollars. Interest rates and lending terms will depend on the market value of the pledged assets and the borrower's credit history. It is notable that Dolomite was chosen as the infrastructure solution, indicating WLFI's desire to secure operations. Dolomite is known for its advanced security mechanisms that protect against hacks and other cyber threats. Nevertheless, risks associated with sharp cryptocurrency price swings remain significant.

Regarding intraday strategy in the crypto market, I will continue to act on major pullbacks in Bitcoin and Ether, betting on the continuation of the long-term bullish market, which has not disappeared.

For short-term trading, the strategy and conditions are described below.
