Odaily Planet Daily reported that within less than 24 hours from January 29th to 30th, Tokyo, Japan, and Hong Kong, both known for their good public safety, experienced a series of robberies targeting large sums of Japanese yen in cash. The amounts stolen were 420 million yen (approximately 19 million yuan) and 51 million yen (approximately 2.29 million yuan) respectively. About six hours after the incidents, police arrested three suspects at Hong Kong International Airport who were attempting to leave the country on charges of robbery. Simultaneously, two employees were arrested at a cryptocurrency exchange shop in Tsim Sha Tsui: a 28-year-old local man and a 29-year-old man from mainland China. They are suspected of assisting the robbers in handling some of the stolen money. Preliminary intelligence analysis suggests that the Japanese companies involved may have been carrying Japanese yen to Hong Kong to exchange for Hong Kong dollars, then using the proceeds to purchase duty-free goods in Hong Kong to profit from the tax difference between the two locations.

Huoxun Finance reported on February 1st that crypto analyst PlanB stated on the X platform that Bitcoin's price closed at $78,635 in January, a drop of approximately 38% from its all-time high. Currently, Bitcoin's 200-week moving average is around $58,000, while the realized price is around $55,000 and trending downwards. Simultaneously, the RSI has fallen below 50, entering its model's defined "bear market zone." PlanB pointed out that historically, Bitcoin has often fallen back to the 200-week moving average or near the realized price during bear markets. However, due to the relatively weak momentum of this bull market and the lack of strong top signals, future pullbacks may be relatively limited.
