PEPE extended its correction in early February, sliding about 48% over two weeks and revisiting its yearly low area. The move mirrored a roadmap shared by an analyst on X, following a rapid early‑year rally to $0.00000715. At publication, PEPE traded near $0.00000425 after touching an intraday low of $0.00000402.

Analyst Diana said in an X post that XRP could climb about 450% to $7, citing Elliott Wave and Fibonacci, if $1.50–$1.55 support holds. She outlined steps toward $1.88–$2 and then $2.20–$2.70. Analyst CasiTrades expects a Wave 4 relief toward $1.78–$2.03, while XRP traded near $1.58 at press time, per CoinMarketCap.

Crypto analyst Gert van Lagen says Bitcoin's bullish market structure remains intact if price stays above $74,400. In a recently shared two-week chart on X, he labels the decline as Wave IV and maps a Wave V impulse, with potential targets at $260,000–$320,000 and a final extension toward $400,000.

Bitcoin has slipped into a bearish setup after dropping below the key $82,000 low from November 2025, with the price recently trading around $78,560 and touching $77,082 in the last 24 hours. Crypto analyst XForceGlobal argues that this breakdown invalidates the prior bullish Elliott Wave structure and forces a new corrective wave count. His updated scenarios outline two distinct bearish paths that both point toward potential downside targets near the $60,000 area before any larger recovery unfolds.

Shytoshi Kusama, Shiba Inu's lead developer and co‑founder, reappeared on X and, on January 29, 2026, hinted at a Sunday moment to address ecosystem issues. One exchange referenced the September 2025 Shibarium Bridge exploit involving $4.1 million. Meanwhile, SHIB trades near $0.0000071, down 1.8% in 24 hours and 10.5% over seven days.

Analyst Maelius said in an X post that Bitcoin could still drop below $60,000 before a cyclical bottom, pointing to BTC dominance not having rolled over yet. He contrasted this with the 2017 and 2021 patterns. BTC traded around $83,900 at the time of writing.

Crypto analyst Tony Severino contends that Bitcoin’s primary bullish cycle has already run its course, based on traditional market cycle theory and U.S. ISM PMI data. He notes that the PMI trend of lower highs and lower lows, with the index near 47.9 and key risk levels at 46 and 41.6, signals a weakening backdrop that conflicts with expectations for a fresh major uptrend. Severino also highlights a monthly moving-average breakdown and past 40% to 60% drawdowns, suggesting a potential downside target around $45,000 before any renewed bullish phase.
