The US dollar experiences its largest decline in six months, with Ethereum receiving defensive capital inflows｜Gate VIP Weekly Report (January 19, 2026 – January 25, 2026)

Last Week’s Market Highlights:

Alpha Mining: Last week, BTC showed a weak oscillation pattern after encountering resistance during a rebound on the 4-hour timeframe, breaking below short- and medium-term moving averages, with volume “increasing during decline and decreasing during rebound,” indicating that the current rebound is more of a technical correction rather than a trend reversal. ETH’s movement is similar to BTC but noticeably weaker, with prices continuously trading below the MA30 and rebound highs gradually declining. Market appetite for high Beta assets remains low, and the structure still reflects a weak rebound within a downtrend.

On-Chain Funds: On-chain capital flows exhibit clear defensive retracement characteristics. Ethereum’s net inflow approaches $350 million, re-emerging as a liquidity “reservoir” during deleveraging and cross-chain retracement processes. Correspondingly, capital outflows are concentrated on networks previously hosting perpetual contract trading. Hyperliquid and StarkNet experienced net outflows exceeding $200 million and $167 million, respectively. In the prediction market sector, industry competition is being reshaped by “points + zero-fee” strategies.
