Binance will remove 23 spot trading pairs on January 20, including 1MBABYDOGE/FDUSD, ADX/ETH and ORDI/BTC, while stating the tokens remain tradable via other pairs. ORDI fell approximately 12%, and broader market losses saw BTC briefly at $92,000. On January 19, Binance Australia restarted AUD deposits and withdrawals.

Bitcoin's Fear and Greed Index has climbed to 61, marking its first entry into the "greed" zone since early October 2025 and signaling stronger investor confidence. The move follows a rally that briefly pushed BTC close to $98,000 and has some analysts eyeing potential targets between $100,000 and $105,921, even as elevated greed may hint at overheating risk.

Over the past 24 hours, Monero's price climbed to a new all-time high of nearly $600 before easing to about $577, valuing the coin at over $10.5 billion and placing it 18th by market cap. Analysts are split between forecasts for further gains toward $800–$1,000 and warnings that its elevated RSI near 78 could precede a sharp correction, similar to previous peaks above $500 that were followed by steep declines.

Cardano's ADA has risen around 9% over the past week to nearly $0.40, and several market commentators believe a larger rally could follow if the price stays above $0.30 and does not close a week below $0.28. Some bullish projections see potential breakout levels between $1 and $1.20, with targets as high as $10, while others warn that a drop under $0.383 or a bearish MACD cross could trigger a deeper correction. Recent net outflows from exchanges suggest more ADA is moving into self-custody, which may reduce immediate selling pressure.

On January 8, Pi Network's PI traded near $0.20, about 2% higher on the week but 93% below its $3 peak from February last year, per CoinGecko. Traders on X split as critics cited exchange inflows and governance concerns, while others eyed a break from an eight-month downtrend and targets near $0.57 amid scheduled token unlocks.

Binance said it will remove 23 spot trading pairs on January 9 following a periodic review, while the underlying tokens will remain tradable against other available pairs. On January 8, several involved assets declined, with BIO down 10%, amid a broader pullback that also saw BTC slip below $90,000 and ZEC post double‑digit losses.

Dogecoin is trading just under $0.15 and would need a 430% rise to top its roughly $0.74 peak from spring 2021. Four AI chatbots offered mixed views on a 2026 all-time high, with one assigning 35%–45% odds and others saying "extraordinary catalysts" may be required. Price targets cited ranged from $0.44 to $0.50 absent a market-wide mania.

Ripple’s ecosystem has drawn renewed attention in early January as XRP’s price rose 20% in a week to $2.25. The company expanded in Asia through partnerships with major Japanese banks, secured a $500 million funding round at a $40 billion valuation, and saw strong demand for spot XRP ETFs that accumulated about $1.25 billion in net inflows. Despite speculation, Ripple’s leadership maintains it plans to stay private for now.

In the first quarter of 2026, four AI chatbots were asked to assess whether Pi Network's PI token, trading near $0.21, could climb to $1. ChatGPT and Grok saw the move as unlikely due to weak liquidity, limited utility, and large token unlocks, while Perplexity and Gemini considered a $1 target feasible if a major exchange such as Binance lists PI and the ecosystem sees a significant upgrade.
