Technical Analysis

In 2025, Bitcoin's global search interest fell about 50% even as the asset reached an all‑time high of $126,080. Posts on X mentioning "Bitcoin" declined 32% year over year to 96 million, and sentiment weakened following an October 10 liquidation of over $19 billion. By mid‑January 2026, social metrics turned more bearish despite prices rising from $90,320 to $97,540.

Crypto analyst Dom has highlighted a triple tap pattern around the $1.80 area on the XRP chart, describing it as the final stage of a potential bottom formation and warning that further downside could lead to a breakdown. Another analyst, Egrag Crypto, sees XRP still trading within a broader range between roughly $1.85–$1.95 support and $3.40–$3.60 resistance, while also flagging the 21 EMA as downward-sloping resistance. XRP is currently trading near $1.90 and has given back most of its yearly gains following a wider market downturn and a drop below the key $2 psychological level.

Canary XRP ETF (XRPC) ended the last session at $20.26, 23.9% below its launch level after briefly reaching the mid-$26 range. The fund fell about 8.5% in the latest session and more than 10% across five trading days, while XRP traded at $1.91 with weekly losses near 10%.

ADA fell from an intraday high of $0.3617 to $0.3499 over the past 24 hours, extending its weekly slide to 15.36%. Cardano holds the No. 10 market-cap spot at $12.86 billion, narrowly ahead of Bitcoin Cash at $11.82 billion. A rebound toward $0.39–$0.42 is seen as key to stabilizing its top‑tier status.

Crypto trader DonAlt, known for forecasting XRP's 700% surge in 2024, now argues that Bitcoin remains trapped in a "dead zone" between $85,000 and $92,000 that acts as both resistance and a liquidity trap. He suggests that failure to regain the upper band could send BTC toward $60,000 and a bear market, while a bullish scenario would require strength above current levels and could eventually target $104,000 and $150,000.

New BTC whales have become the dominant force in Bitcoin's current cycle as ownership metrics tilt toward recently active large wallets. With price slipping below $90,000 and touching $86,000 in the past day, wallets aged 6–12 months now hold over 17% of marginal supply, while newer buyers carry about $6B in unrealized losses. Older whales remain less price-sensitive around a realized price near $40,000.

On Tuesday, U.S. XRP-focused ETFs posted their largest single-day net redemptions, with $53.32 million withdrawn, according to SoSoValue. Cumulative net inflows fell from $1.28 billion to $1.22 billion as XRP, which climbed to just over $2.40 on January 6, slipped under $2.00, hit $1.84 on some venues, and hovered near $1.90.

U.S. Oil (USOR) surged more than 40% in 24 hours amid heightened oil-geopolitics headlines, pushing trading volume above $43 million and placing the Solana-based token among the day’s most active assets. Despite the rally, analysts caution that USOR remains a high-risk, narrative-driven token with no verified oil backing, making it vulnerable to sharp reversals as speculation cools.

Bitcoin is currently trading around $89K, directly on the $89.8K–$90K cost basis zone of short-term holder cohorts 0D–1D and 1W–1M, making this area a key on-chain support. If this band holds, it could enable market stabilization, while a break below would push both fresh cohorts underwater and increase short-term selling pressure. At the same time, STH MVRV is at 0.897 and moving toward the 0.875 lower bound of its 155-day range, a zone that has often aligned with local bottoms.

RollX (ROLL) continued its post-listing advance, rising over 11% in the past 24 hours as staking incentives absorbed circulating supply and price held a critical technical support zone. Despite cooling volume, elevated liquidity and active rotation suggest ROLL remains in an early price discovery phase.
