Trading Recommendations for the Cryptocurrency Market on January 17

Today, Bitcoin crossed the $102,000 mark, maintaining its upward momentum. Ethereum experienced less aggressive growth, failing to reach the previous day's high. However, it's worth noting that Ethereum outperformed Bitcoin earlier, gaining a couple of percentage points more. Overall, the market sentiment remains positive.

Altcoins like SOL and XRP also demonstrated strong growth, driven by speculation that they might be among the first altcoins included in the U.S. Strategic Crypto Reserve, should the Trump administration proceed with its multi-crypto reserve initiative. If implemented, this could signify a turning point in governmental recognition of digital assets. Such a move would not only bolster SOL and XRP but also pave the way for other altcoins to showcase their stability and liquidity.

Experts predict that increasing public and institutional interest in cryptocurrencies may catalyze the development of a more structured and regulated market, fostering trust among investors and users, which, in turn, could lead to further price growth. If the Trump administration's initiatives succeed, SOL and XRP could emerge as leaders among altcoins, driving competition and accelerating innovation in the crypto industry.

As for the intraday strategy on the cryptocurrency market, I plan to capitalize on any significant dips in Bitcoin and Ethereum, betting on the continuation of the bull market in the medium term, which has remained intact.

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