A major event has recently attracted market attention. Reports indicate that the US government faces the risk of another shutdown on January 30th. This is not the first time, but this time the situation is somewhat special.
Last year, the two parties argued for 43 days before reaching a temporary consensus to "keep the lights on," and the emergency funds' validity just happened to expire on January 30th. Now the money is running out, and if the two parties still cannot reach an agreement, a government shutdown will indeed occur. The problem is, both sides are still bickering and none of the core disagreements have been resolved.
Why does this matter to traders?
Such political uncertainty often has a significant impact on the market. Historically, before and after US government shutdowns, risk assets tend to experience a wave of sentiment swings—large funds hedge early, market participants become more cautious, and volatility increases. In this sensitive time window, any small change can be interpreted as a signal of larger market adjustments.
Key moments are approaching. Over the next two weeks, close attention should be paid to developments at the negotiation table, the US dollar trend, implied volatility of stock index options, and other indicators. While it’s difficult to predict the final outcome precisely, being aware of this risk window in advance can be very helpful for trading decisions.
In the current market, can risk assets like PEPE, DOGE, withstand the impact of such macro uncertainties? Or will they pull back to find support? The market will soon give an answer. What are your thoughts on the direction of this wave?

The government shutdown, to put it simply, is a liquidity stress test to see how PEPE and DOGE can withstand pressure... As volatility rises, retail investors' sentiment first collapses. This is actually a good opportunity to filter out genuine demand.

The government shutdown... happens every time, so annoying. The crypto market is fluctuating along with the US stock market, it's so tough.

The government shutdown is the same old routine, always bickering like this. The market has long been used to it... But if they really crash the market this time, what should I do? My PEPE still has to drop another 20%

Another political drama is unfolding. How can the crypto circle remain unaffected?
See the outcome in two weeks. Can PEPE and DOGE withstand the pressure?
Whenever the US causes a fuss, our holdings tremble along with it.
The old trick of government shutdowns always triggers a market wave.
History always repeats itself. Large funds should start to run.
Partisan bickering continues, and retail investors can only be caught in the crossfire.
How much impact will this uncertainty have on PEPE? Worrying indeed.

Political risk again? Will there really be a market crash this time...
I heard they're closing down, can PEPE hold up? Feeling a bit anxious
Honestly, the US always does this, but the crypto market always drops, so annoying
The two parties bicker every day, our wallets suffer, damn it
Can DOGE maintain this pace? Feels like it's going to shrink

Government shutdowns are always cried wolf, but this time it really seems to be coming... PEPE and DOGE are probably going to fluctuate along with the US stock market, who knows.

Is there more political uncertainty? I heard this kind of rhetoric last year, and it ended up soaring... Just for reference.
---
Basically, big funds want to shake out small investors, just an excuse. I've seen this happen too many times.
---
Government shutdown? Better to focus on the distribution of chips; that's the real thing.
---
Assets like PEPE DOGE are never afraid of macro factors; what they fear is project team rhetoric, understand?
---
Risk window? I think it's a window to get on board, and now they want me to chase the high.
---
Within two weeks? The crypto market can put on a big show in less than two hours, haha.
---
Every time there's a shutdown in history, they cut. Can't they cut this time? Wake up, everyone.
---
Dollar trend, implied volatility... sounds very professional, but it's really just about the market maker's mood.
---
Old news. Institutions hedge early; retail investors just wait to be pushed to the floor.
