Shiba Inu (SHIB) is testing resistance at $0.0000078–$0.000008 after weeks of declines, according to HolderStat. Arkham Chart flagged that Binance moved over 17.5 billion SHIB into cold storage, while spot inflows jumped 1,153%, setting up a possible breakout toward $0.0000082 if buyers gain control.

On the 3-hour chart, Solana formed a death cross as the 50-period moving average fell below the 200-period. SOL trades at $125.42 and is down 12% for the week, according to CoinGecko. Analyst Ali Martinez highlights $129 as a pivotal close for a potential shift, noting $804 million in recent stablecoin inflows.

Stellar (XLM) is attempting a cautious rebound from recent lows as a descending trendline caps near‑term upside. XLM trades at $0.2096, hovering just below the $0.225 level, with momentum stabilizing and a breakout eyed by bulls. A sustained move above the trendline and $0.225 could shift consolidation into a bullish path.

After a broadly bullish 2025, market analyst Paul Bennett says XRP's technical posture has weakened: the weekly SuperTrend turned bearish and price fell under $2 to $1.97, according to CoinGecko. He highlights a broken support trendline, fading momentum and ATR-based volatility compression, warning that "super cycle" narratives lack confirmation until those signals reverse.

Ripple's stablecoin RLUSD has exceeded a $1 billion market capitalization and is highlighted by Binance Research as a new heavyweight among leading stablecoins. Positioned alongside PYUSD and BUIDL, RLUSD stands out for its institutional settlement focus, banking rail integration, and use as collateral by BlackRock, signaling a shift in stablecoin growth toward specialized, utility-driven use cases.

According to market analyst Ali Martinez, whale wallets accumulated more than 50 million XRP over the past week as large-holder activity climbed to a three‑month high, signaling growing institutional confidence and longer‑term positioning. This renewed accumulation coincides with progress on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, which analysts say could embed the Ripple ruling into U.S. law, remove major legal uncertainty, and potentially pave the way for a 5000% XRP price rally and broader integration into mainstream finance.

Bitcoin whales are depositing less to Binance in early 2026, just 15,800 BTC versus December's 37,133 BTC, leaving flows at 42.5% of last month. Daily whale transfers are under 2,200 BTC, while Bitcoin trades near $95,020 alongside strong U.S. spot ETF inflows above $750 million.

Market analyst Paul Bennett reports XRP-linked futures open interest has reached $4.03 billion, signaling widespread leverage on venues including Binance and CME. CoinGecko data shows XRP is up 10.2% over the past month and trading near $2.17, while a $30 million long and shrinking spot volumes point to a fragile, derivatives-driven setup.

Solana's price is trading around $143.61, just under key resistance at $145, with analysts watching to see if renewed network activity can support a move toward the $200 level. After adding 30.2 million new wallets in November 2024, growth has cooled to 7.3 million in recent months, raising concerns over user engagement even as DeFi, gaming, NFT expansion and a major protocol upgrade could underpin future adoption.
