January 8, 2026 Auspicious Day: Virtual Currency Trading Do's and Don'ts

January 8, 2026 (Yisi Year, Jichou Month, Renwu Day), Lunar Calendar Winter Month 20th, the fourth day of the Minor Cold solar term, blessed by the three major auspicious gods "Heaven's Grace," "Respect and Peace," and "Release Spirit," but encountering the "Chong Rat, North Clash" energy fluctuation, which is a key point for "Opening Day" (opening signifies development opportunities, but also caution against reckless and disorderly actions). According to the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches and the Five Elements calculation, today Renwu Water and Fire are in harmony (Ren Water overcomes Wu Fire), requiring Earth to pass through and harmonize, and Metal to generate Water and boost momentum. Favorable conditions include strong Earth to support and connect, and strong Metal to nourish Water and generate wealth. Unfavorable conditions include excessive Fire helping to overcome Water, and vigorous Wood consuming Water and generating Fire. This article is a fun combination of traditional folk customs and market information, not investment advice.

Today’s Virtual Currencies to Watch

Ethereum (ETH): The smart contract ecosystem is mature, DeFi applications are highly active, aligning with the stable energy of the "Respect and Peace" auspicious god, symbolizing "Earth nourishing and passing through." The Five Elements belong to Earth, which can ease the conflict between Water and Fire and stabilize wealth foundation, forming a "Fire generates Earth, Earth generates Metal" circulation loop with today’s Renwu pattern. On the K-line level, the daily chart shows a "Bullish Engulfing" pattern, closing above the 5-day moving average, with moderate volume increase, making it especially relevant for people born in the Year of the Tiger, Horse, or Dog (Three Harmonies Noble People).

Polkadot (DOT): Cross-chain technology advantages are prominent, ecological compatibility is strong, blessed by the "Heaven's Grace" auspicious god, representing "Gold generating Water and Prosperity." The Five Elements belong to Metal, which can nourish Ren Water and enhance wealth circulation, forming a "Golden Water Shining" trend with today’s Water and Fire pattern. On the 4-hour chart, a "Hammer" pattern appears, with the lower shadow touching previous support and quickly rebounding, indicating early bullish signals. Priority focus for people born in the Year of the Sheep (Six Harmonies Noble People).

Tether (USDT): A stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, with near-zero volatility, similar to the "Release Spirit" auspicious god’s risk-avoidance trait, suitable for today’s theme of "wealth intake and prayer for blessings." The Five Elements belong to Earth, which can pass through Water and Fire and safeguard principal safety. On the K-line level, it has been in a long-term sideways consolidation, with very short upper and lower shadows, a stable "flat line" variation, suitable for short-term allocation by people born in the Year of the Ox or Dragon (Yin auspicious stars).

Virtual Currencies to Avoid Caution Today

Dogecoin (DOGE): Meme coin with high speculative nature, easily manipulated by emotional funds, aligning with the "Robbery" and "Minor Loss" destructive energy, warning against "speculation and risk-taking" in the calendar. The Five Elements belong to Fire, and excessive Fire helps Wu Fire overcome Ren Water, breaking the balance of Water and Fire. On the daily chart, a "Inverted Hammer" appears, with a long upper shadow and sharply reduced volume, indicating a high risk of false signals. Especially for people born in the Year of the Rat (conflicting today), should avoid it resolutely.

Ripple (XRP): Competition in cross-border payments intensifies, with significant fund diversion, akin to the hidden crisis of "Wood Prosperity consuming wealth," not aligning with the principle of "avoiding blind expansion on auspicious days." The Five Elements belong to Wood, which can consume Ren Water and regenerate Wu Fire, forming a "Wood and Fire overcoming Water" wealth-destroying pattern. On the daily chart, it broke below the 10-day moving average support, with a long "Big Black Candle," indicating bearish momentum. All zodiac signs should be cautious, especially people born in the Year of the Ox (conflicting today) and Rabbit (breaking today), who should stay away.

Polygon: Rapid on-chain ecosystem expansion causes fund dispersion, and technological iteration falls short of expectations, aligning with today’s "Yuanwu" malefic star bringing obstacles. The Five Elements belong to Fire, which helps Wu Fire and intensifies the Water-Fire conflict, making it difficult to gather wealth. On the weekly chart, after a "Doji" appears, a large black candle follows, forming a "Dusk Star" reversal pattern. People born in the Year of the Rat (conflicting and overlapping) and Rabbit (conflicting and worsening) should avoid it decisively to prevent buying into the dip against the trend.
