Over the weekend, on-chain data from XRPScans showed that transaction activity on Ripple's XRP Ledger dropped by about 99% within 48 hours, with payment volume between accounts sliding from over 1.09 billion on Thursday, January 8, to 166.99 million on Saturday and then to around 137.40 million by January 11. Despite this steep fall in usage and a parallel decline in executed transactions, XRP is still trading above $2, while developers report that a large batch of ledger fixes and amendments covering features like TokenEscrow, AMMClawback, Multi-Purpose Tokens and a Price Oracle is nearing activation.

XRP is trading just over $2 after an early January rally briefly reached $2.40, with the pullback holding above a flipped short‑term support. An inverse setup with the US Dollar Index around 99 has preceded major XRP advances, including a $3.65 peak in July. If the dollar weakens again, another leg higher could emerge; sustained strength may keep price consolidating near $2.

A new technical analysis suggests that Bitcoin's price has once again touched a key "Crash Line," a level that has repeatedly served as a reload zone during the current bull phase. The analyst behind the study argues this is a deliberate market move, noting previous visits to this trendline have coincided with declines of about 33% followed by strong rallies. Another market watcher outlines two paths for BTC, with a break and hold above 92,000 dollars seen as bullish, while failure to reclaim that level could send price toward a Chicago Mercantile Exchange gap around 88,000 dollars.

Crypto analyst Plan C argues that Bitcoin’s surge to $126,000 last year did not mark the cycle peak because the broader business cycle has not yet moved above the 50 level. Drawing on ISM PMI readings around 47.9 and historical patterns where BTC tops aligned with business cycle levels between 55 and 65, he suggests further upside is possible even as the price struggles around $90,000. On-chain data firms add that Bitcoin must reclaim the Short-Term Holder Cost Basis near $99,100 to confirm a sustainable recovery, while large investors are reportedly not aggressively buying the dip.

On-chain metrics point to mounting sell pressure on Shiba Inu, with the SHIB exchange reserve at 82 trillion coins and exchange net inflows turning positive, according to CryptoQuant. These readings suggest more tokens are moving to trading venues, raising the risk of sell-offs and potential price weakness.

Crypto market analyst Roman has outlined a bearish short‑term outlook for Bitcoin, arguing that the market structure remains weak and could send the price toward about $76,000, roughly 20% below current levels. He points to failed attempts to break above resistance near $96,000, low trading volumes on recent rebounds, and still‑bearish daily indicators such as MACD and RSI as key reasons for expecting another leg down. Roman believes any upside moves should still be viewed as corrective until clear signs of a trend reversal emerge.

Dogecoin previously moved from roughly $0.10 to about $0.45 in a late-2024 parabolic rally after a period of sideways trading. If a similar 4.5x surge were to play out from a higher base near $0.15, projections indicate the DOGE price could advance into the $0.60 to $0.67 zone, still short of its $0.76 all-time high.

Dogecoin is climbing alongside other meme coins in Q1 2026, with one crypto analyst arguing that recent accumulation could precede a strong upside move. The analyst's chart highlights a key support area around $0.14 and a potential target zone between $0.188 and $0.194, while warning that a drop below roughly $0.148 would challenge the bullish view. At the time of writing, Dogecoin trades near $0.143 after gaining more than 18% this week but still shows a trading volume decline of over 30%.

Charting Guy says Dogecoin may have exited its worst phase, mapping a path to $0.8 and potentially $1 if his pattern plays out. He also outlined a near‑term move to $0.2 at the start of February, a pullback to $0.12 in March, then an advance above $0.2 toward $0.22.
