XRP's price climbed to $2.41 on Jan. 6, 2026 before pulling back over five consecutive days and attempting a rebound around $2.10. A crypto analyst notes that a gravestone doji pattern seems to be forming on XRP's weekly chart, while the asset trades within a broad $1.77 to $2.41 range and recently saw its first $40.8 million net outflow from U.S. spot XRP ETFs.

XRP is trading around $2.10 after a 0.24% daily gain, with volume near $1.12 bn, as price compresses above the $2.04–$2.06 support area. Ripple highlighted UK FCA approval on January 9, 2026, and the chart shows that a break above $2.15 could target $2.27 and a retest of $2.40.

Bitmine transferred 86,400 ETH into Ethereum's staking deposit contract, with on chain data indicating the batch was worth about $266.3 million.

Zama will conduct a Dutch auction token sale on January 12, positioning the event within the fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) privacy narrative.

TRUMP memecoin has remained in a descending channel since peaking around $9.5 two months ago, with price recently hovering near $5.4. On-chain and trading data show large holders have stopped accumulating, with one whale selling 437k TRUMP worth $2.35 million on Binance at a loss of about $2.35 million. Technical indicators highlight persistent selling pressure, and analysts outline key EMA levels around $5.2–$5.5 as crucial for either further downside or a trend reversal.

Solana has seen its open interest climb to the $8,000,000,000 mark, signaling that traders are once again willing to deploy leverage on SOL despite prior drawdowns. While the price is attempting a recovery from the low $120s and remains below key long-term moving averages, futures positioning has shifted toward longs, especially among larger players, raising the risk of sharp liquidations if support around $130–$135 fails. With spot volumes still subdued and derivatives driving much of the activity, elevated volatility is likely as Solana's price action tests resistance in the mid-$140s.
