Cryptocurrency Trading Recommendations for January 23rd (U.S. Session)

Bitcoin continued its correction in the first half of the day, reaching the $101,000 level. Despite the correction from yesterday's $105,000 level, buyers remain hesitant to open long positions. Ethereum is also gradually sliding toward the $3,200 level, occasionally bouncing off it.

Recent news has sparked growing interest among investors keen to capitalize on XRP's potential as a financial instrument. The token's popularity is already hitting record highs and could soar even further if Ripple receives regulatory approval. This approval could pave the way for active use of XRP in international settlements and interbank transfers. Moreover, integrating XRP into the US banking system could enhance liquidity and reduce transaction costs. Financial institutions would benefit from faster and cheaper transactions, making the system more competitive on the global stage. The transparency and security of blockchain technology also play a key role in building user trust.

Recently, Sound Planning Group stated that Bank of America now processes 100% of its internal transactions using Ripple and holds 83 different patents for this technology. It is believed that, in the future, all major players will adopt Ripple's technology.

Amid this, discussions are gaining traction about CME potentially launching futures on XRP and SOL as early as February 10. Applications are already awaiting regulatory approval. If XRP and SOL futures are introduced on CME, the cryptocurrency market could see significant changes. These instruments will allow investors to hedge risks and explore new speculative opportunities. Given the growing interest in these assets, increased liquidity and participation on the platform are expected. This development is also likely to affect XRP and SOL prices, introducing new levels of volatility. In just a few weeks, we may witness substantial market shifts and new opportunities for traders.

For short-term trading, I will continue to focus on leveraging major pullbacks in Bitcoin and Ethereum, expecting the medium-term bullish market trend to persist.

Details of the strategy and conditions for short-term trading are outlined below.
