Dogecoin's price remains under pressure as a crypto analyst warns the meme coin could face another sharp drop if key technical conditions are not met. Following a major sell-off on October 10, 2025 and subsequent trading inside a descending channel, DOGE has struggled to break resistance and is consolidating around $0.12–$0.14. With price, market cap and volume all down more than 2.5% over the last 24 hours, the coin risks extending its broader downtrend into the end of January if selling persists.

CryptoBullet on X warns that Chainlink's weekly chart shows a head-and-shoulders pattern with an upward-sloping neckline near $10–$11; a weekly close below that zone could validate a bearish setup. The analyst's measured-move targets point to $4–$5 (about a 50% drop), with $7.15 as an intermediate support, while LINK trades at $11.98, up 1.1% on the day and down 5.4% over seven days.

Cycle analyst @Cryptollica shared a chart tracking the Dogecoin-to-NVIDIA ratio across several market cycles, showing the pair once again testing a long-term support zone. In past cycles, similar levels coincided with NVIDIA already having rallied strongly while Dogecoin later outperformed as speculative capital shifted toward higher-risk assets. The current structure suggests another potential rotation phase could be forming, though outcomes will still depend on liquidity conditions and risk appetite.

A high-timeframe trader has outlined a Bitcoin fractal that closely aligns the current market cycle with the structural pattern observed before the 2021 bull run. The comparison includes similar distribution phases, a drop to the 0.382 Fibonacci level, and recovery attempts capped by descending resistance, while also framing $100,000 as a key psychological barrier. Within this framework, potential moves toward the $98,000–$99,000 area and a median short-term cost basis near $95,000–$100,000 are highlighted, with a sustained break above $104,000–$105,000 flagged as the level that would invalidate the fractal thesis.

XRP saw a brief rebound in early 2026 and is now trading slightly above $2.0. Analysts highlight a recurring setup that previously drove a move from about $0.5 to over $2, with a decisive break above $2.26 and resistance between $3.4 and $3.7 viewed as key levels for the next leg higher.

Crypto analyst Bird said on X that XRP could be primed for its strongest rally, citing a breakdown in Bitcoin dominance that preceded major XRP surges in 2018, 2021, and 2024. He argues a confirmed drop in BTC.D could push the token into double digits. XRP trades around $2.14, down almost 5% in 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap.

In early January 2026, Bitcoin climbed back through the $94,000 mark after weeks below that level, with price hovering near $92,780 after touching an intraday high of $94,343. The move was driven by stronger risk appetite linked to political developments in Venezuela, renewed institutional demand via US spot Bitcoin ETFs, and on-chain indicators showing fading sell pressure between $80,000 and $95,000. Glassnode's data suggests momentum is improving but structural demand remains muted, leaving the recovery above $90,000 on uncertain footing.

Over the past 48 hours, XRP moved from sub-$2 levels to trade near $2.40, as the piece notes. According to @Steph_iscrypto, its weekly structure echoes the pre-breakout pattern seen in 2017, including a falling wedge. Key levels in focus are $2.30, $2.50 and $2.80, with major resistance at $3.10 and $3.40.

Crypto analyst Sykodelic on X says Bitcoin's current cycle diverges from past four‑year patterns, with the liquidity index failing to peak near the latest high above $126,000. He argues the missing parabolic surge has been delayed, as spot ETF inflows and government‑level adoption coincided with range‑bound global liquidity since the 2022 bear‑market bottom.
