2026/01/05 Gate Strategy Bot Weekly Report

After the New Year, risk assets generally rebounded, with BTC breaking out of a continuous rally and returning to around $93,000, ETH surpassing the $3,200 mark, and Meme sector volume increasing and driving sentiment recovery; meanwhile, derivatives liquidations remain frequent, and short-term volatility is more easily amplified by “liquidity + position structure.” On the capital side, spot ETFs for BTC/ETH saw significant net inflows at the beginning of the year, providing marginal support for prices; however, net inflows of ETH on exchanges increased, indicating that potential supply pressure still warrants caution. This week, focus on US labor data (non-farm payrolls) to reassess risk appetite and dollar liquidity re-pricing.

Last Week (12/29–01/04) Market Review

The main themes of last week can be summarized in three phases: BTC strength → ETH catch-up driving ecosystem rotation → Meme surge amplifying risk appetite. After entering 2026, risk appetite clearly increased, with high Beta assets attracting incremental trading first, leading to a catch-up in altcoins and expansion of themes. Reports indicated that Meme sector market cap and trading volume rose in tandem over the past week, becoming a typical signal of risk appetite recovery.

Structurally, this resembles a “late-stage bull” pattern: Bitcoin oscillating at high levels + altcoins catching up + Meme sentiment accelerating. However, it’s important to note that such trends are often less stable than earlier main upward phases, with more frequent short-term surges and retracements driven by sentiment, themes, and position structure. Meanwhile, the net inflow of ETH on exchanges has sparked discussions about potential supply pressure, suggesting ETH may experience repeated digestion at key resistance zones.

Overall: last week was characterized by “sentiment-driven, theme-driven” trading, dominated by short-term traders; long-term funds are likely already positioned more forward, and the current influx of chasing higher prices carries higher volatility risk at elevated levels.

1 | Market Environment Overview

BTC broke above $93,000 and entered a high-range zone, with relatively thin overhead resistance. Both bulls and bears are more prone to shakeouts, with the market tending toward “short-term oscillation + quick retracement”; negative news or macro shocks can amplify pullbacks.

ETH returning above $3,200 acts more like “catch-up + ecosystem driving,” with focus on ETH beta, L2, and derivative narratives’ rotation continuity. However, increased net inflows on exchanges make the $3,200–$3,300 range more susceptible to repeated digestion and supply sensitivity.

SOL in this Risk-on environment acts as “a highly elastic zone for capital rotation”: when BTC/ETH oscillate at high levels, funds tend to switch between strong and weak, with the market showing rapid “rise—retrace—rise again” volatility.

Macro: Post-New Year, the market enters a “data re-pricing” window: US economic data will influence interest rate paths and dollar liquidity expectations, directly affecting the volatility of risk assets; liquidity remains in recovery after the holidays, so any data or news shocks are more likely to amplify short-term swings. The main theme remains “whether risk appetite can continue to spill over”—if Meme strength persists, funds may further flow into altcoins and ecosystem themes; if sentiment cools, high Beta assets will retrace faster, and the market may revert to a structure of main coins oscillating at high levels.

4 | Suggested Capital Allocation and Risk Control

Note: This is for illustrating typical structures and risk exposure differences, not investment advice.

Asset	Suggested Ratio	Role	Risk Control Points
BTC	40%	Core Position	High oscillation prone to shakeouts; avoid increasing positions during rallies, prioritize controlling drawdowns.
ETH	25%	Stable Allocation	Stronger in catch-up and rotation; watch key levels for repeated tests, reduce unilateral exposure.
SOL	20%	High Volatility Position	Benefits from risk-on spillover but with fast rhythm; diversify positions, shorter cycles, avoid single-sided risk.
XRP	15%	Rotation Enhancement	More obvious sentiment-driven; quick switch between rise and fall, avoid chasing highs to prevent retracement risk.
