On 30 January 2026, Filecoin traded around $1.15–$1.20 under sustained technical pressure while Ethereum slipped below $2,800 amid mixed whale activity.

Bitcoin's move under $85,000 has coincided with broad weakness across major altcoins over the past 24 hours. Altcoin market capitalization is near $1.18 trillion, while Ethereum, BNB, XRP, Solana, Dogecoin, and Cardano registered day-over-day declines alongside elevated trading volumes.

The Senate Agriculture Committee approved the Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act in a 12–11 vote on Thursday.

The Hyperliquid (HYPE) price recently touched $33.84 before slipping 5% in the past hour, while the wider crypto market cap hovered around $3.054 trillion.

Technical indicators show overbought conditions but some traders still see scope for rallies toward $40 and beyond, while others are looking at newer tokens like SUBBD, which has raised more than $1.46 million in its presale.

Bitcoin held above the mid-$80,000 area this week as buyers stepped in near key support and prevented a sharper breakdown. Analysts highlight that around 22% of the supply now sits below its purchase price and argue that a sustained recovery likely depends on stronger liquidity, tracked through on-chain metrics like the 90‑day realized profit/loss ratio. Exchange inflows remain muted and derivatives positioning points to the risk of a brief liquidity grab toward the low-$90,000s.
