The January Federal Reserve meeting could become an important watershed for the cryptocurrency market this year. Currently, the market has largely priced in the expectation of a "wait-and-see" stance at this meeting, but this policy vacuum period may actually trigger short-term sharp fluctuations—many speculative funds are already itching to take profits before clear signals emerge.

Don't be scared by this volatility. Short-term fluctuations do not equal a trend reversal; fundamentally, it is a "consolidation" phase as funds wait for the larger policy move of a rate cut in March. For investors, patience is actually the most valuable asset right now.

How to operate specifically? Mainstream coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum experiencing a 10%-15% pullback could be a good opportunity to strengthen core holdings. For sector-specific tokens, consider small positions for trial and error, but avoid over-leveraging during this high-volatility period—risk management should come first. Once policies become clearer, opportunities will naturally arise.
