XRP has been in a sharp freefall since peaking on January 6, dropping nearly 15% in just six days. Multiple support levels have already given way, and momentum remains weak. Yet beneath the sell-off, something unusual is happening. Conviction buyers are stepping in at a pace not seen since September 7. Key XRP price zones are still holding, and demand is quietly forming under pressure. This sets up a rare divergence between price action and behavior on the blockchain. XRPs Freefall Hinges on One Key Trend Line The sell-off accelerated after XRP failed to reclaim its 200-day EMA at the January 6 peak. An EMA, or exponential moving average, gives more weight to recent prices and is often used to judge short-term and long-term trend strength. When the price stays below key EMAs, sellers usually stay in control. From the peak, XRP first lost the 100-day EMA, then the 50-day EMA. It is now hovering near the 20-day EMA, which has become the last short-term trend support. This level matters because it often separates controlled pullbacks from deeper downside moves. Key XRP Support: TradingView Want more token insights like this?Sign up for Editor Harsh Notariyas Daily Crypto Newsletterhere. A similar setup played out in early December. When XRP lost the 20-day EMA on December 4, the price slid roughly 15% in the days that followed. That history explains why the current level is critical. A hold keeps the structure alive, but a clean loss (daily close) risks extending the freefall. Dip Buying Is the Strongest Since September But From Select Holders Despite the technical damage, dip buying, by long-term investors, or rather the conviction buyers, has intensified. This appears in HODLer net position change, a metric that tracks whether long-term wallets are increasing or decreasing their coin balances. When the value is positive, holders are accumulating. When it is negative, they are distributing. The strongest accumulation is coming from conviction holders, not broad whale groups. The HODLer net position change shows wallets added roughly 62 million XRP on January 9, then nearly four times that amount on each of the next two days. On January 10 and 11, holders absorbed around 239 million XRP and 243 million XRP, even as the price continued to fall. That makes this the strongest two-day dip-buying streak since September 7. HODLers Buying At A Clip: Glassnode Whales, by contrast, remain cautious. Only smaller whales holding between 1 million and 10 million XRP have shown activity. Their combined balances rose from 3.52 billion to 3.53 billion XRP, an increase of about 10 million XRP. At the current price, that equals roughly $20.5 million in buying. This is not broad accumulation. It is targeted, defensive buying. Smaller whales are stepping in near key levels, but larger players are still waiting. That imbalance explains why XRP is finding support but struggling to stage a strong rebound. Supply Clusters and XRP Price Levels Explain the Conviction That conviction lines up closely with XRPs cost-basis structure. Supply clusters form where large amounts of coins were previously bought at similar prices. These zones often act as defense levels because holders near break-even tend to buy dips to protect their positions rather than sell at a loss. Two major supply clusters sit just below the current price. The first lies between $2.00 and $2.01, where roughly 1.9 billion XRP were accumulated. First Strong Cluster: Glassnode The second sits between $1.96 and $1.97, with another 1.8 billion XRP bought. These levels explain why selling pressure has slowed despite weak momentum. Key XRP Cluster: Glassnode As long as these clusters hold, the XRP price can form long lower wicks and attempt to stabilize. A reclaim of the 20-day EMA near $2.04 would be the first signal that this defense is working. On the upside, XRP must reclaim $2.21 and then $2.41, the January 6 peak. Clearing $2.41 would put $2.69 back in play and flip the structure bullish again. XRP Price Analysis: TradingView Downside risk remains. A clean break below $2.01 exposes $1.97 (the next supply cluster), followed by $1.77. Notice how the on-chain supply cluster also has active support lines on the XRP price chart. XRPs conviction is not coming from momentum or large whales. It comes from structure. The 20-day trend line has not fully broken, and dense supply clusters sit directly below the price. As long as these two elements hold, dip buyers are willing to step in.
The meme coin market is sending mixed signals. While the category is still down over 5% in the past week, prices are up roughly 5% in the last 24 hours, hinting at renewed interest. Against this backdrop, three meme coins to watch stand out for very different reasons. One is rising despite whale selling, another is seeing heavy accumulation during a pullback, and a third is drawing growing volume around a key technical reclaim. Pump.fun (PUMP) Among the meme coins to watch this week, Pump.fun (PUMP) stands out for a different reason. While many meme tokens are losing momentum, PUMP continues to show relative strength. The token is up around 6% over the past 24 hours and nearly 9% over the past seven days, keeping it on short-term trader watchlists. Note: Pump.fun is not a meme coin by design. It is a launch platform where meme coins are created and traded. It is included here because CoinGecko classifies it under the meme coin category, and its recent move has materially influenced the performance of that category this week. PUMP Features In The Meme Category: CoinGecko Price action shows Pump.fun forming a cup and handle pattern, but with an important caveat. The cup is downward sloping, not flat. This matters because a downward-sloping cup often reflects weaker conviction beneath the surface. Breakouts from this structure are possible, but they require stronger follow-through buying than normal. PUMP Price Analysis: TradingView That hesitation is visible in whale behavior. Over the past seven days, whale wallets have reduced holdings by 6.37%. Whale balances now sit at 12.02 billion PUMP, meaning roughly 820 million tokens were sold during a week when the price was still rising. At the current price, that equals about $2 million in distribution. PUMP Whales: Nansen This divergence is important. Price is moving higher, but large holders are selling into strength. That does not kill the bullish setup, but it does raise the confirmation bar. On the chart, $0.0026 is the key level to watch. A daily close above it would confirm the neckline break and open a move toward $0.0037, moving PUMP towards the projected 75% upside based on the cup depth. On the downside, losing $0.0023, followed by $0.0020, would invalidate the pattern and confirm that whale caution was justified. Pepe (PEPE) Pepe remains one of the strongest meme coins to watch this week, but its structure is sending mixed signals. The token is up nearly 35% over the past 30 days, making it one of the top gainers in the meme coin category. At the same time, Pepe is down about 14.5% over the past seven days, showing clear short-term weakness inside a still-strong broader trend. What stands out is whale behavior during this pullback. Since January 7, whale wallets increased their holdings from 133.15 trillion PEPE to 134.32 trillion, an addition of roughly 1.17 trillion tokens. At the current price near $0.0000059, that equals roughly $6.9 million in net accumulation. This buying happened while the broader meme coin market fell more than 5%, showing selective conviction rather than broad risk-on behavior. PEPE Whales: Santiment The price chart explains why whales may be positioning early. On the 12-hour chart, Pepe is trading tightly between the 20-period and 200-period EMA. An EMA, or exponential moving average, gives more weight to recent prices and helps define trend direction. These two EMAs are converging, increasing the odds of a bullish crossover if price holds. Historically, reclaiming the 20-period EMA has mattered for Pepe. The last sustained reclaim, on January 1, triggered a 74% rally. A clean 12-hour close above both EMAs could open upside toward $0.0000075, then $0.0000085. PEPE Price Analysis: TradingView Failure, however, carries risk. A 12-hour close below $0.0000056 could expose Pepe to a deeper pullback toward $0.0000039. Whales appear to be betting on structure before confirmation. The next EMA decision will likely decide whether that conviction pays off. Floki (FLOKI) Another meme coin to watch this week is Floki, which is seeing rising attention despite short-term weakness. Over the past seven days, FLOKI is down about 8%, but it remains up nearly 12% over the past 30 days. That puts it in a similar position to Pepe, where recent cooling contrasts with broader strength. Interest data supports this. Floki ranked as the third-most traded meme coin in early January by volume and unique traders, trailing only Pepe and BabyDoge. That rise in activity suggests traders are rotating attention rather than exiting the meme coin space. FLOKI Metrics: Dune The price chart helps explain why. On the 12-hour chart, FLOKI has reclaimed its 20-period exponential moving average (EMA). For Floki, this level has been important. Each reclaim over the past month has led to quick upside moves. On January 1, a similar reclaim triggered a 52% rally. A smaller reclaim on December 8 still produced an 11% bounce. FLOKI Price Analysis: TradingView This makes the current reclaim notable. As long as price holds above the 20-period EMA, Floki could attempt a move toward $0.000053, followed by $0.0000619 if momentum builds. That aligns with the recent jump in trading interest. The risk is clear. A failure to hold above the EMA would put $0.000050 back in focus. Losing that level could expose a sharper drop toward $0.000038, especially if volume fades.
Ethereum price is rising again, up over 2% in the past 24 hours, and is still positive for the month. The rebound looks encouraging, but the structure underneath remains fragile. A bearish pattern is still active, and unless key levels are defended, this bounce risks turning into a deeper pullback. Ethereum Price Rises Inside a Fragile Bearish Structure Despite the bounce, Ethereum is still trading inside a head and shoulders pattern on the daily chart. The January 6 peak formed the right shoulder, and the price is now attempting to stabilize without invalidating the structure. This is important because head-and-shoulders patterns often fail gradually rather than immediately. Rallies can happen inside them, but they only become safe once the price decisively moves away from the neckline risk zone, around $2,880 in ETHs case. Bearish Risk Looms For ETH: TradingView Want more token insights like this? Short-term holder behavior adds caution. Short-term holder NUPL, which tracks paper profits/losses, remains in the capitulation zone but is rising toward monthly highs. It increases the chance of profit-taking if the price pushes higher. Short-Term Profit Increasing: Glassnode HODL Waves metric, which tracks cohorts based on time, confirms that many short-term holders have already exited. This means the NUPL risk might have already played out. The 1-week to 1-month cohort dropped sharply from around 11.5% of supply in mid-December to about 3.9% now. Short-Term Holders Exit: Glassnode That reduces immediate selling pressure and also means this bounce is not being driven by aggressive and speculative new demand yet. While this might look like disinterest, the lack of short-term buyers can eventually help the ETH price move higher if other support remains. Dip Buying and Longer-Term Holders Are Quietly Supporting Price The reason Ethereum has not broken down comes from the underlying support. The Money Flow Index (MFI), which tracks possible dip buying, shows a bullish divergence. Between mid-December and early January, the Ethereum price formed lower highs, whereas MFI formed higher highs. This signals dip buying. Buyers consistently stepped in during pullbacks instead of abandoning positions. Dip Buying Continues: TradingView Even though MFI has cooled slightly, it remains well above its prior lows. As long as this holds, selling pressure continues to get absorbed rather than accelerating. Longer-term holders reinforce this support. The 6-month to 12-month holder group increased its supply share from about 14.7% to roughly 16.2% since late December. This is steady accumulation, not speculative chasing. Mid-Term ETH Buyers: Glassnode Together, reduced short-term supply, ongoing dip buying, and mid-to-long-term holder accumulation explain why Ethereum is bouncing instead of collapsing. But support alone does not remove risk. It only slows it. Ethereum Price Levels That Decide Whether the Bounce Holds Ethereum is now at a clear decision point. The most important downside level is $2,880. This marks the neckline zone of the head and shoulders structure. A daily close below this level would activate the full pattern, opening the door to a roughly 20% dip risk based on the measured move from the head to the neckline. Above that price, the first key zone sits between $3,090 and $3,110, average of $3,100, a level also visible on the price chart. This range is critical because it contains a dense on-chain cost-basis cluster where roughly 1.44 million ETH last changed hands. Markets often react strongly around such zones. Key Supply Cluster: Glassnode If Ethereum holds above this area, it strengthens the case that buyers are defending cost and absorbing supply. Failure to hold it would increase downside pressure toward $2,970, followed by the critical $2,880 level. Ethereum Price Analysis: TradingView To fully invalidate the bearish structure, Ethereum needs sustained strength above $3,300. A move above $3,440 would erase the head and shoulders risk entirely.
Bitcoins breakout story is on course, but the needed bounce is not clean. The Bitcoin price has reclaimed key trend support, history favors continuation, and short-term selling has dried up. Yet every push higher is meeting supply. The reason is not obvious from the price alone. One holder group is still selling into strength, and that could delay the next leg higher. Breakout Structure Is Still Intact Bitcoin is trading inside a cup-and-handle structure on the daily chart. Price briefly pushed toward the handle breakout near $92,400 before pulling back, but the structure remains valid as long as a key support holds. The most important support signal is the 20-day EMA. An EMA, or exponential moving average, gives more weight to recent prices and helps define short-term trend direction. Bitcoin reclaimed the 20-day EMA on January 10 and followed it with two green daily candles. That sequence matters. Bitcoin Structure: TradingView In December, Bitcoin reclaimed the 20-day EMA twice, on December 3 and December 9. Both times, the reclaim failed because the next candle turned red. On January 1, the reclaim was followed by another green candle. That move led to a nearly 7% rally. A similar setup is now forming again. As long as Bitcoin holds above the 20-day EMA, the breakout theory remains on track. But the long upper wicks near $92,400 show supply is still active. That raises one question: who is selling? Short and Long-Term Holders Are Quiet, Ultra-Long Holders Are Not On-chain data helps answer that question. Short-term selling pressure has collapsed. Spent Coins Age Band data, which highlights cohort-specific coin activity, for the 7-day to 30-day group shows activity falling sharply, from around 24,800 BTC to just 1,328 BTC, a 95% decline since January 8. This means recent buyers are not rushing to sell into the bounce. Short-Term Holders Not Selling: Santiment Standard holder net position change also turned positive on December 26. These holders, often seen as long-term investors, (holding for 155 days or more) have been net buyers since then and continued buying even when Bitcoin peaked on January 5. HODLers Start Buying: Glassnode The selling is coming from a different group. Long-term holder net position change, which tracks ultra-long holders with coins possibly held well over one year, remains negative. On January 1, this group distributed roughly 286,700 BTC. By January 11, that selling slowed to about 109,200 BTC, a drop of over 60%. Selling pressure is easing, but it has not flipped to buying yet. Long-Term Holders: Glassnode This explains the hesitation near resistance. Short-term sellers are gone, long-term investors are buying, but ultra-long holders are still distributing enough supply to cap price for now. Bitcoin Price Levels That Hold The Key Bitcoin now needs a clean daily close above $92,400 to open the path toward $94,870. Clearing that zone would complete the breakout story and activate the measured 12% upside target. That move projects toward the $106,630 area. For this to happen, Bitcoin must stay above the 20-day EMA and prevent ultra-long holder selling from pushing the price back down. On the downside, $89,230 is key support. A daily close below it would weaken the breakout structure. A deeper drop toward $84,330 would invalidate the bullish setup entirely. Bitcoin Price Analysis: TradingView For now, Bitcoins breakout story is still on course. The only missing piece is conviction from the oldest holders. Once that group stops selling, the delayed breakout could move fast.
Stellar price has struggled for months and remains down about 34% over the past three months. Despite this broader downtrend, recent price action has stabilized, with XLM trading mostly flat over the past 24 hours. Under the surface, several signals suggest the weakness may be losing strength rather than accelerating. At the same time, Stellars real usage is growing. Capital continues flowing into the network, dip buying remains active, and a bullish chart structure is forming. With Stellars real-world asset value now nearing $1 billion, the price is approaching a key decision point. A Bullish Price Pattern Forms as Real Usage Grows Stellar is forming an inverse head and shoulders pattern on the daily chart, a structure that often appears near market bottoms. The pattern shows that selling pressure is gradually fading while buyers step in earlier on each decline. The left shoulder formed in November, the head printed in late December, and the recent pullback created the right shoulder. Stellars Bullish Pattern: TradingView Want more token insights like this?Sign up for Editor Harsh Notariyas Daily Crypto Newsletterhere. This structure began taking shape after December 31, when Stellar rallied nearly 30% before correcting between January 6 and January 9. That correction did not break the trend. Instead, it helped shape the right shoulder. The neckline of the pattern sits roughly 12% above the current price. A daily close above this level would confirm the breakout. What strengthens this setup is real network growth. Stellars real-world asset value rose from about $890 million (on December 31) to roughly $986 million in early January. That is an increase of around 10.8% in just a short period, bringing the network close to the $1 billion mark. RWA Value Grows: RWA.XYZ This rise in usage helps explain why the price stabilized instead of breaking down, giving the bullish pattern a solid foundation. Capital Inflows and Dip Buying Support the Structure To understand why the pattern is holding, it helps to look at capital flows. Chaikin Money Flow, or CMF, measures whether money is entering or leaving an asset. When CMF stays above zero, it shows that more capital is flowing in than flowing out. For Stellar, CMF has remained positive even while the price moved lower over recent weeks. Large Capital Flow Continues: TradingView This signals steady capital inflows rather than distribution. That behavior lines up closely with the rise in Stellars real-world asset value. Capital flowing into the network is also showing up in price data, suggesting large participants are building positions during weakness. Dip buying also remains visible through the Money Flow Index, or MFI. MFI tracks buying and selling pressure using both price and volume. Between late November and late December, the Stellar price made lower lows. During the same period, MFI held higher levels and continued rising. This shows buyers consistently stepping in on dips rather than abandoning positions. Dip Buying Continues: TradingView As long as MFI remains above the 36 level, this dip-buying behavior stays intact. Buyers are still absorbing selling pressure, which helps support the right shoulder of the pattern. Levels That Decide Whether Stellar Price Breaks Higher The technical Stellar price levels ahead are well defined. A daily close above $0.254 (the 12% theory established earlier) would confirm the inverse head and shoulders breakout and open the path toward the $0.330 area, which represents the projected 30% upside from the neckline. On the downside, $0.223 is the first level to watch. A daily close below it would weaken the bullish structure. A deeper close below $0.196 would invalidate the pattern entirely by breaking below the head. Stellar Price Analysis: TradingView For now, the Stellar price is compressed between steady capital inflows, active dip buying, and a clear breakout level overhead. Usage on the network continues to grow, even as price hesitates. Whether XLM moves higher now depends on one question: can price catch up to the capital already flowing into Stellars network?
The Zcash price is under pressure. A governance shock crushed sentiment, the chart broke down on a lower timeframe, and downside risk is now clearly defined. What makes this move unusual is that large holders have been buying aggressively through the decline, with the ZEC price down 25% week-on-week. Price, sentiment, and whale behavior are now pulling in opposite directions. Breakdown Pattern and EMA Loss Highlight A 30% Risk Zone Zcash has triggered a bearish structure that is easy to miss on the daily chart but clear on the 12-hour timeframe. The price completed a head-and-shoulders breakdown after slipping below the neckline near $381. Once that level failed, the pattern activated. Applying the standard projection from the head to the neckline places the downside target near $253. That implies a potential move of over 30% from current levels if weakness continues. Zcash Price Structure: TradingView Want more token insights like this?Sign up for Editor Harsh Notariyas Daily Crypto Newsletterhere. This breakdown did not occur alone. The Zcash price also fell below its 200-period exponential moving average on the 12-hour chart. An EMA gives more weight to recent prices and helps define trend strength. Losing the 200 EMA often marks a shift from trend support to trend resistance. At the same time, the 20-period EMA has rolled below the 100-period EMA. This bearish crossover shows short-term momentum is now weakening faster than the broader trend. If the cross deepens, the ZEC price breakdown path could extend. EMA Theory Weakens Structure: TradingView Together, the breakdown structure, EMA loss, and bearish crossover signal indicate that downside pressure is active. Sentiment Collapse Triggers the Drop as Whales Quietly Accumulate The key driver behind the breakdown is sentiment. Following the governance shock, Zcashs positive sentiment collapsed from nearly 90 to roughly 5 in a few days. That is a drop of more than 90%. Historically, ZEC has responded strongly to shifts in sentiment. On December 27, a local peak in positive sentiment coincided with a rapid rally. Zcash rose from approximately $511 to $550 over two days, a gain of approximately 8%. Now the opposite is playing out. As sentiment evaporated, bids thinned and price slipped into a breakdown. Positive Sentiment Drops: Santiment Yet large holders responded very differently. Over the past seven days, the top 100 Zcash holders increased their balances by 47.71%. That translates to roughly 15,000 ZEC added. Standard whale wallets increased holdings by 11.44%, adding roughly 2,000 ZEC, worth about $780,000. Combined, whales accumulated close to 17,000 ZEC, totaling roughly $6 million during the decline. Whales Holding Amid Weakness: Nansen Public figure wallets also increased their holdings by nearly 20%. Retail behavior moved the other way. Exchange balances rose, showing smaller holders were likely selling into fear. The result is a split market. Long-term players are buying quietly, while short-term participants react to collapsing sentiment. Whale buying has slowed the fall, but it has not stopped the breakdown. Zcash Price Levels Cling To The EMA-Led Hope The Zcash price now sits at a clear inflection point. On the downside, $361 is the first level to watch. A clean break below it would reinforce the bearish case and expose the $326 level, followed by the full breakdown target near $253. That $253 zone represents the projected 30% move from the head and shoulders pattern. On the upside, the bearish structure can still be invalidated, but conditions are strict. Zcash must reclaim and hold above the 200-period EMA. The last time this level was reclaimed, in early December, ZEC rallied more than 40% and formed the left shoulder of the pattern. Zcash Price Analysis: TradingView Above that, resistance sits near $407, followed by $436 and $482. Clearing these levels would signal sentiment stabilization and renewed trend strength. For now, Zcash remains caught between technical damage and quiet accumulation. The breakdown fuse has been lit. Whether it fully burns depends on whether sentiment recovers quickly enough to restore the lost structure.
XRP price is holding above $2.08, but the breakout is not confirming yet. The reason is not price weakness alone. It is timing. Over the past week, XRP spot ETF inflows dropped to their weakest level since trading began, lining up with a visible slowdown in upside momentum. At the same time, long-term holders have started buying aggressively. This creates a rare conflict between institutional demand and long-term conviction, leaving XRP at a decisive point. Weakest XRP ETF Inflow Week Delays Pattern Confirmation XRP is still trading inside a bullish inverse head and shoulders structure on the daily chart. The pattern remains valid, but the breakout has stalled. Price is holding above the right shoulder near $2.08, yet it remains far from confirming the neckline. That delay lines up directly with ETF data. During the week ending January 9, XRP spot ETFs recorded just $38.07 million in net inflows. This is the lowest weekly inflow since launch, down nearly 84% from the late-November peak near $244 million. The timing matters. The sharpest part of XRPs pullback occurred between January 6 and January 9, exactly when ETF demand cooled the most. ETF Inflows Weaken: SoSo Value Want more token insights like this?Sign up for Editor Harsh Notariyas Daily Crypto Newsletterhere. This does not invalidate the bullish pattern. It explains why the breakout has not triggered yet. Inverse head and shoulders patterns need steady follow-through demand near the neckline. With ETF inflows fading during the right-shoulder phase, price action stalled instead of accelerating. Delayed XRP Breakout: TradingView Another detail adds friction. The neckline, near $2.50, itself is sloping upward, meaning the XRP price needs both price strength and sustained demand to confirm the move. Right now, the ETF side of that equation has been missing. Holder Accumulation Surges as Key Supply Zones Come Into Focus While ETF demand weakened, something else changed sharply. Between January 9 and January 10, XRP holder net position change spiked from roughly 62.4 million XRP to 239.5 million XRP. That is an increase of nearly 300% in 24 hours. This metric tracks net accumulation by holders. A spike of this size signals strong accumulation, not short-term trading. XRP Holders Buying Aggressively: Glassnode This matters because it offsets the ETF slowdown. Even as institutional ETF demand paused, long-term holders stepped in aggressively. The cost basis heatmap explains where this buying pressure runs into resistance. The first major supply cluster sits between $2.14 and $2.15, where roughly 1.88 billion XRP were accumulated. XRP is currently trading just below this zone. A daily close above it would mark the first real supply break. Now, for this massive cluster to break, the XRP price would need a lot more than just long-term holder conviction. It would also need ETF support once the window reopens tomorrow. Key XRP Supply Cluster: Glassnode Above that, the next and more critical cluster sits between $2.48 and $2.50, where around 1.62 billion XRP are held. This zone aligns closely with the inverse head and shoulders neckline. Clearing it would not just be a technical breakout. It would mean the price is moving through two dense holder supply layers. Neckline Cluster: Glassnode This is why the ETF pause has not caused a breakdown. Long-term accumulation is absorbing pressure, keeping XRP stable while the market waits for the next demand trigger. XRP Price Levels That Decide Whether the Breakout Finally Triggers XRP price is now compressed between conviction buying and delayed confirmation. The levels ahead are clear. The first level to watch is $2.15 ($2.146 to be precise). A daily close above this zone would place XRP above its nearest supply cluster and confirm that recent holder accumulation is winning. Above that, $2.28 comes into focus, aligning with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement. Clearing it would open the path toward $2.42, followed by the neckline zone near $2.50. A clean break and close above $2.50 would confirm the inverse head and shoulders breakout and activate the projected 34% upside from current levels. XRP Price Analysis: TradingView On the downside, $2.06 remains critical support. Losing this range would weaken the right shoulder and delay the bullish structure further, though it would not invalidate it outright. For now, the XRP price is not rejecting the breakout. It is waiting. ETF demand cooled at the worst possible time for confirmation, but long-term holders have stepped in with force. Whether XRP breaks higher now depends on one thing: can fresh demand push price through $2.15 and then $2.50 before that conviction fades.
Bitcoin price is sitting at a decision point after a quiet pullback. Since peaking on January 5, BTC has slipped but avoided any major breakdown. Year-over-year, Bitcoin remains down approximately 4.5%, maintaining a slightly negative annual performance. That small red number matters more than it looks. A narrow price window now separates Bitcoin from a rare historical signal that last appeared in 2020. Whether Bitcoin flips or fails may decide the next trend. A 4.5% Bitcoin Price Move Could Echo a Rare 2020 Pattern A recent historical analysis highlighted a rare setup. When Bitcoins 1-year price change turns negative and then flips back positive, it has often marked major trend shifts. This rare move surfaced in July 2020, which was followed by a strong bull phase. Something rare is happening with Bitcoin!The 1-year percentage change, when negative, has historically been associated with bear markets, with the exception of July 2020, when it briefly turned negative and was soon followed by a strong bull market.Now, the current setup pic.twitter.com/3YdmKj0C7L Alphractal (@Alphractal) January 10, 2026 Right now, Bitcoin is hovering just below that flip point. A move of roughly 4.5% would turn the yearly change green and repeat that historical condition. The chart structure supports why this matters. Bitcoin is trading inside the handle of a cup and handle pattern, a bullish formation where price pauses after a rounded recovery before attempting a breakout. Breakout Pattern Holds: TradingView Want more token insights like this?Sign up for Editor Harsh Notariyas Daily Crypto Newsletterhere. It would be interesting to see if the measured breakout distance of this pattern (above the neckline) closely aligns with that same 45% zone? EMA Support and a 95% Drop in Selling Pressure Strengthen the Setup Short-term trend behavior is reinforcing the bullish case. An exponential moving average (EMA) gives more weight to recent prices and helps track short-term trend direction. Bitcoin has recently reclaimed its 20-day EMA and is holding above it. The last time BTC reclaimed this level in early January, the price rallied nearly 7% within days. Losing the 20-day EMA in mid-December led to a 6.6% drop, showing how reactive the price has been around this level. For now, holding above it keeps upside momentum intact. EMAs Hold The Line For BTC: TradingView The next hurdle is the 50-day EMA. Bitcoin lost this level on January 12 and corrected shortly after. A clean reclaim would signal a stronger trend recovery and align with the cup and handle breakout structure. On-chain data adds weight. Exchange inflow, which tracks coins moving to exchanges and often signals selling intent, has collapsed to a six-month low. Daily inflows have dropped from roughly 78,600 BTC on November 21 to about 3,700 BTC now, a decline of more than 95%. Drop Is Possible Selling Pressure: Santiment This sharp fall suggests selling pressure has dried up. Fewer coins are being sent to exchanges, reducing the supply available to sell into rallies. Derivatives Pressure and Key Bitcoin Price Levels Decide The Next Leg Leverage positioning adds another layer. Over the next seven days, cumulative short liquidation leverage sits near $4.10 billion, while long liquidation exposure is around $2.17 billion. That puts short exposure roughly 89% higher than longs. Liquidation Map: Coinglass Crowded short positioning creates fuel. If the BTC price starts moving higher, forced short covering can add automatic buying pressure. Bitcoin has repeatedly moved against leverage bias over the past year, making this imbalance notable rather than bearish. All of this converges at clear price levels. A daily close above $94,880 would complete the cup and handle breakout and align with the 4.5% yearly flip. From there, upside targets sit near $99,810, followed by $106,340 based on Fibonacci extensions and the cups breakout projection. Bitcoin Price Analysis: TradingView On the downside, $89,230 is the first key support. A loss of that level would expose $86,650 and invalidate the bullish structure. For now, the Bitcoin price sits in a narrow corridor. Selling pressure is at a six-month low, short-term trend support is holding, and a rare historical signal is just 4.5% away. Whether Bitcoin reaches it may define what comes next.

Onyxcoin price remains one of the strongest movers this month, but recent action tells a more nuanced story. XCN is still up nearly 97% over the past seven days, yet that headline gain hides a sharp shakeout. Since January 6, the token has corrected by roughly 36%, after briefly touching $0.0130. That pullback has not broken the structure. Instead, the XCN price is now consolidating within a bullish flag after rebounding over 4% day-on-day, while large holders step in and selling pressure fades. The key question is whether XCN will be able to initiate the explosive breakout it has been seeking for a while now. Bullish Flag Holds as Key Signs Emerge On the daily chart, Onyxcoin is consolidating inside a classic bull flag pattern. A bull flag forms after a strong vertical move, followed by a downward-sloping range that allows price to cool without breaking the broader trend. XCN is currently trading close to the upper boundary of this flag, suggesting pressure is building. A breakout above the key resistance at $0.0095 could kickstart the 218% breakout path, the poles measured move. XCN Breakout Structure: TradingView Moving averages add context. An Exponential Moving Average, or EMA, gives more weight to recent prices and helps track short-term trend shifts. Onyxcoins 20-day EMA is now rising toward the 100-day EMA, signaling a potential bullish crossover if momentum holds. EMA Support: TradingView The 200-day EMA is especially important here. During the previous rally that began at the end of December, XCN accelerated once the price reclaimed this long-term trend line. Price is again hovering near that same level. A clean move above the 200-day EMA would strengthen the flag breakout case and confirm that buyers remain in control. So far, the price has not broken the bullish pattern despite the 36% dip that started on January 6. This appears to be a consolidation, not a rejection. Whale Accumulation Grows as Selling Pressure Fades On-chain data supports the bullish setup. Following the XCN price correction on January 6, whales began accumulating. Wallets holding large Onyxcoin balances increased their combined holdings from roughly 42.26 billion XCN to about 42.55 billion XCN. That is an addition of nearly 290 million XCN tokens during consolidation. Onyxcoin Whales Buying The Dip: Santiment At current prices, that accumulation represents roughly $2.6 million in buying pressure. More importantly, it started right as price pulled back, suggesting whales were buying the dip rather than exiting strength. Exchange data supports this view. Exchange inflows, which track the number of tokens sent to exchanges and often signal selling intent, peaked on January 6. That spike aligned with the price drop. Since then, exchange inflows have collapsed from around 1.53 billion XCN to roughly 51 million XCN, a near 97% dip. XCN Inflows Slow Down: Santiment This sharp decline signals that selling pressure has dried up. Fewer coins are moving to exchanges, and more supply is staying off-market. Combined with whale accumulation, this creates a supply-tight environment that favors continuation rather than breakdown. Key Onyxcoin Price Levels That Decide the Breakout The first Onyxcoin price level to watch is $0.0090, which aligns closely with the 200-day EMA. Holding above this level keeps the bullish structure intact and increases breakout odds. The real trigger zone sits near $0.0095. A daily close above this level would confirm a breakout from the upper flag trend line. If that happens, the price could retest $0.0130, the recent local high and first major resistance. On the downside, $0.0083 is the key support. Losing this level would weaken the flag structure and suggest that consolidation is failing. Below that, $0.0069 becomes critical. A sustained move under this zone would invalidate the bullish setup entirely. Onyxcoin Price Analysis: TradingView For now, the Onyxcoin remains in balance. The XCN price is consolidating, whales are accumulating, and selling pressure has cooled sharply. Whether this turns into an explosive breakout depends on how the Onyxcoin price reacts around the flag resistance and long-term moving averages.
POL, the Polygon networks native token, has surged more than 50% in a week. The POL price move did not come from a single spike or headline-driven burst. Instead, it was backed by steady on-chain demand across the network. As price pauses near recent highs, the focus shifts. This is no longer about upside momentum alone. The key question now is whether POL moves into a healthy consolidation or a deeper correction. Steady On-Chain Demand Holds as Momentum Starts to Cool On-chain data shows Polygon has maintained steady usage throughout early January. Daily unique addresses have stayed firm, and transaction activity has continued to rise in line with other major EVM networks. This points to consistent network demand rather than short-term speculation. Improving On-Chain Transactions: Dune Want more token insights like this?Sign up for Editor Harsh Notariyas Daily Crypto Newsletterhere. That steady on-chain demand helps explain why POL rallied so strongly. Users are not leaving the network, and activity has not faded after the price jump. This forms a solid base under the move. Unique Addresses Remain Steady: Dune However, momentum signals are starting to diverge. The Relative Strength Index, or RSI, measures price momentum by comparing recent gains to recent losses. When RSI moves higher while price fails to follow, it suggests momentum is not translating into price follow-through. Between mid-October and early January, POLs price is forming lower highs while RSI is printing higher highs. This setup is known as a hidden bearish divergence. It does not signal panic or an immediate breakdown. Instead, it points to cooling strength and rising pullback risk after a strong run. POL Sees Hidden Bearish Divergence: TradingView This divergence only confirms if the next price candle forms under $0.174. For now, it simply warns that the rally may need time to break. Whales Reduce Exposure as Retail Keeps Buying Holder behavior helps explain how this reset could play out. Large holders have been reducing exposure ahead of the recent price pause. Wallets holding between 100 million and 1 billion POL began trimming balances around January 3. Since then, their holdings have fallen from roughly 743.6 million POL to about 708.3 million POL. The next whale tier, holding between 10 million and 100 million POL, followed later. This group started reducing balances around January 7, dropping from about 571.7 million POL to roughly 563.0 million POL. POL Whales Lose Interest: Santiment At the same time, smaller holders have moved in the opposite direction. Retail cohorts, often holding between 10 and 10,000 POL, have steadily increased their balances throughout the rally and into the current pause. Possible Retail Buying: Santiment This split matters. Whales appear to be responding to momentum cooling and chart signals. Retail participants, on the other hand, may be reacting to visible on-chain demand and rising network activity. That combination often leads to consolidation. It can also create a deeper cooldown risk if sentiment-driven buying runs into fading momentum. POL Price Levels That Define Consolidation or Deeper Correction POL price action now decides the outcome. If POL holds above $0.155, the move is likely to stay a consolidation. This level has acted as a key support zone in early November, and holding it would allow the market to absorb selling without breaking structure. A clean move back above $0.188 would ease bearish momentum signals. A stronger close above $0.213 would fully invalidate the divergence and reopen the path toward $0.253. POL Price Analysis: TradingView On the downside, a sustained break below $0.155 would shift the setup toward a reset. That opens room toward $0.142, with a deeper extension possible near $0.098 if selling accelerates. For now, POL remains supported by steady on-chain demand. The rally is not breaking, but momentum is cooling, and large holders are stepping back. Whether this becomes a simple consolidation or a deeper dip depends on how the price behaves around support.
XRP price has pulled back sharply after a strong start to the year. Since topping on January 6, the price has been down more than 14%. Even after the drop, XRP remains up roughly 11% over the past seven days, showing this move is more correction than a collapse. What matters now is not the size of the dip, but who is selling, and who is absorbing it. Selling Pressure Builds as Volume Weakens Beneath Rising Price From December 18 through January 9, XRPs price trended higher. During that same period, On-Balance Volume (OBV) trended lower. OBV tracks whether volume is flowing into or out of an asset. When price rises, but OBV falls, it signals that real buying power is weakening and that sellers are quietly active during rallies. XRP Faces Sell Pressure: TradingView Want more token insights like this?Sign up for Editor Harsh Notariyas Daily Crypto Newsletterhere. More importantly, OBV is now drifting toward a descending trendline that connects its lower lows. If OBV breaks below that trendline, selling pressure could intensify further. This does not yet confirm a breakdown. It simply shows XRP is facing its first meaningful sell wave of 2026, likely driven by profit-taking after a strong run. That leads to the key question. If selling is happening, who is doing that? And more importantly, who is absorbing that selling pressure now that a rebound has stabilized the drop, as XRP has been trading flat over the past 24 hours? Long-Term Holders and Whales Absorb Supply During the Dip On-chain data shows the selling is not coming from long-term conviction holders. The Hodler Net Position Change metric tracks whether long-term holders are accumulating or distributing. Since January 5, long-term holders increased their XRP holdings from 47.4 million to 55.4 million XRP. That is an addition of roughly 8 million XRP, a 17% increase, during a period when the price was actively falling. HODLers Buying: Glassnode Large whales tell the same story. Wallets holding 100 million to 1 billion XRP increased their combined balance from 8.34 billion to 8.52 billion XRP since January 6. Big Whales Accumulating: Santiment That is an increase of 180 million XRP, nearly $390 million in buying pressure. This matters because it shows the sell wave is being absorbed by stronger hands, not triggering panic exits. As long-term holders and whales are accumulating, the sell pressure is most likely due to the short-term players. XRP Price Levels Above Which The Pressure Fades Even with accumulation underneath, the price still needs to clear the supply above. Cost-basis data shows the first major resistance sits near $2.15, where a large cluster of holders previously accumulated. A clean move above this level would signal that near-term selling pressure is weakening. Immediate Support: Glassnode The next and more important level is $2.41. This zone marks where the most recent sell-off began and represents a heavy supply cluster as well. Key XRP Clusters: Glassnode The supply clusters align with the XRP price chart levels. The first near-term resistance is close to $2.15 ($2.149 to be exact). A daily close above $2.41 would significantly reduce downside risk and reopen the path toward $2.69. On the downside, $1.97 remains the key support. Holding above it keeps the broader structure intact. A loss of that level would signal that selling pressure is no longer being absorbed. XRP Price Analysis: TradingView For now, XRP is in a controlled pullback phase. Volume shows selling pressure has arrived, but long-term holders and whales are actively buying into it. As long as accumulation continues and key support holds, this correction looks like a pause in the trend, not a warning.
Zcash faced a sudden governance shock this week that sent its price sharply lower. Panic selling pushed ZEC down more than 20% yesterday alone, briefly dipping near the $380 level before buyers stepped in. Since that low, the Zcash price has rebounded roughly 17% and is now trading back above $440. While the immediate fear has eased, the sell-off left behind technical damage. At the same time, strong buying emerged underneath the drop. Zcash is now caught between a fragile chart structure and a clear accumulation response. Governance Shock Leaves Zcash in a Bearish Structure With 30% Risk Still Active The sharp Zcash sell-off followed reports that its core development team had exited. Markets initially interpreted this as a project-level failure, triggering forced selling and a fast breakdown in price. Later clarification showed the move was a governance restructuring, not a protocol issue, which helped stabilize sentiment and spark the rebound. Despite that recovery, the chart remains vulnerable. Zcash is trading inside a rising wedge on the 12-hour timeframe, a structure that often carries downside risk if support fails. At the same time, a bearish EMA setup is forming. An Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a trend indicator that gives more weight to recent prices, making it useful for spotting momentum shifts. On Zcashs chart, the short-term 20 EMA is moving closer to the slower 50 EMA. When this bearish crossover forms and eventually confirms, it often signals weakening trend strength. Bearish Zcash Pattern: TradingView Want more token insights like this?Sign up for Editor Harsh Notariyas Daily Crypto Newsletterhere. If Zcash breaks below the wedges lower trendline, the projected downside sits near 30%. That target is calculated using the vertical distance between the upper and lower trendlines of the structure. The rebound has reduced immediate panic, but it has not removed this risk. Whales Step In With $3.2 Million Buying Spree While the chart weakened, on-chain behavior told a different story. Large holders aggressively accumulated during the sell-off, treating the governance-driven dip as an opportunity. Over the past 24 hours, ZEC whales increased their holdings by 4.49%, lifting their total stash to 8,919 ZEC. That implies roughly 381 ZEC added during the dip. Mega whales were even more active. Their holdings jumped 19.2%, bringing their total to 42,786 ZEC, which translates to about 6,905 ZEC accumulated. Whale Accumulation: Nansen In total, large holders added roughly 7,286 ZEC. At a spot price, that equals about $3.2 million in fresh buying. This accumulation coincided with falling exchange balances, suggesting coins were being moved into longer-term storage rather than prepared for resale. That buying pressure explains why Zcash rebounded quickly once the initial panic faded. Still, accumulation can slow declines and absorb volatility, but it does not automatically reverse a bearish structure. Falling Development Activity Keeps Zcash Price at a Crossroads The final variable is development activity. Data shows Zcashs development score peaked near 21.85 in late December before sliding steadily to around 19.67. That decline began before the governance headlines and has continued since. Weak Development Activity: Santiment Historically, Zcashs strongest rallies have aligned with rising development activity. The recent slowdown helps explain why the price struggled even before the panic sell-off. While governance clarity reduced fear, it did not reverse this underlying trend. 📊 Unless you lived under a crypto rock, you likely watched the headlines pour in about Zcash in late 2025. The decade-old privacy coin multiplied its market cap by ~15x between September 22nd and November 16th.🧑💻 However, we have been watching $ZEC's development activity pic.twitter.com/MORo1sD7ix Santiment (@santimentfeed) January 8, 2026 This matters because Zcash remains one of the strongest long-term performers in the market. The token is still up roughly 66% over the past three months and delivered one of the best performances of 2025. For that strength to resume, development activity likely needs to stabilize and turn higher again. That underrated metric can actually save the price. From a price perspective, Zcash now sits at a decision point. A sustained move above $456 would improve the short-term outlook and reduce breakdown risk. On the downside, a loss of the wedges lower trendline would reopen the 30% downside scenario, with $360, $309, and eventually $272 as key levels to watch. Zcash Price Analysis: TradingView For now, Zcash is balanced between heavy accumulation and technical fragility. The governance shock created a sharp discount, whales responded decisively, and the next move depends on whether development momentum and price structure can realign.
As Bitcoin mining continues to grow into a capital-intensive, infrastructure-driven industry, TokensCloud has announced the expansion of its 2026 Bitcoin cloud mining contracts, offering investors access to professionally managed mining operations capable of generating up to $6,000 per day in verified mining rewards. Founded in 2019, TokensCloud has positioned itself as a transparency-first cloud mining platform at a time when trust, efficiency, and energy management have become decisive factors for mining profitability. The company’s latest contract rollout signals a growing demand from investors who to start mining Bitcoin without owning hardware, managing electricity costs, or committing to long-term lockups. TokensCloud’s Short-Cycle Mining Contracts Unlike traditional cloud mining platforms that lock users into contracts lasting months or even years, TokensCloud offers contracts ranging from 1 to 55 days, each with clearly defined pricing, daily net profits, and total returns. Every contract includes: Daily reward calculations Payouts every 24 hours Full principal refund at the end of the contract Mining profits are paid even on holidays At the top end of the offering, TokensCloud’s Helsinki Cloud Center contract delivers the platform’s highest returns: Contract Price: $100,000 Contract Term: 55 days Daily Net Profit: $6,000 Total Net Profit: $330,000 This structure allows higher-capital investors to access industrial-scale mining returns while maintaining predictable timelines and capital protection. Transparent Mining Operations Across Multiple Regions Transparency is one of the most critical issues in cloud mining, and TokensCloud addresses this by openly disclosing its mining locations and operational structure. The platform operates mining facilities across: Multiple states in the United States Canada Iceland Select regions in Europe Daily mining earnings are verifiable through the user dashboard, allowing investors to track performance in real time rather than relying on delayed or aggregated reporting. Cloud Mining in 2026: Why Infrastructure Matters More This Year Bitcoin mining in 2026 looks very different from its early years. Rising network difficulty, higher global energy prices, and stricter environmental oversight have pushed mining firmly into the hands of large-scale operators with access to optimized power and advanced infrastructure. For individual users, running a profitable home mining setup is no longer realistic. Cloud mining has emerged as a practical alternative, allowing users to lease computing power from professional facilities while earning a share of mining rewards. TokensCloud’s model focuses on short-cycle, capital-protected contracts rather than long-term speculative commitments, giving investors more control in a fast-moving crypto market. Energy Strategy Built for Stability, Not Speculation Energy costs are the single largest variable in Bitcoin mining profitability. TokensCloud does not rely on a single energy source or region. Instead, it deploys computing power across multiple cloud centers, using regionally adapted power structures, low-load scheduling mechanisms, and grid-balancing strategies to maintain stable operations and controllable costs. Each major cloud center plays a specific role as follows: Texas Cloud Center: Uses a grid-responsive energy model that dynamically adjusts computing load based on regional power supply conditions. Wyoming Cloud Center: Operates in a low-density infrastructure environment, supporting long-term energy stability. Nevada Cloud Center: Focuses on high-efficiency power architecture, optimizing heat dissipation and energy conversion. Montana Cloud Center: Benefits from a baseload-stable energy environment, ensuring consistent computing output. Georgia Cloud Center: Uses localized power-cost balancing to improve operational efficiency. Quebec Cloud Center: Leverages a low-carbon regional power structure, supporting sustainable, long-term infrastructure operation. This diversified energy strategy reduces reliance on any single grid or energy source, helping TokensCloud maintain operational resilience even amid market or regulatory shifts. Computing Power Deployment and AI Optimization TokensCloud’s computing power deployment is tailored to the power structure and infrastructure characteristics of each region. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, the platform optimizes energy usage combinations based on local conditions. A key component of this strategy is TokensCloud’s AI-supported data center in Texas, which provides high-performance computing services and supports both advanced cloud mining and broader computational workloads. This facility helps meet growing demand while improving allocation efficiency across the network. By combining physical infrastructure with intelligent software systems, TokensCloud can dynamically balance hash power, monitor performance, and maintain consistent mining returns. Security Architecture Designed for Asset Protection Security remains a top concern for investors entering cloud mining. TokensCloud integrates multiple layers of protection to protect user assets and operational continuity. These features include, but are not limited to: Independent recording and settlement of user assets Multi-node deployment to prevent single points of failure Automatic data backups across regions These measures ensure that mining activity, earnings data, and withdrawal records remain protected even in the event of localized disruptions. Free Entry Option for New Users To lower the entry barrier, TokensCloud continues to offer a $100 free mining bonus to new users in 2026. This free allocation allows users to experience real Bitcoin cloud mining without making an upfront investment. The trial enables users to understand how daily payouts work, how contracts are tracked, and how withdrawals are processed, using real money and not demos. How to Start Cloud Mining with TokensCloud Getting started with TokensCloud is designed to be straightforward: Create an account using your email address, a username, a password, and an optional referral code. Activate the $100 free mining bonus or choose a paid mining contract for higher returns. Mining begins automatically once a contract is activated. Track daily earnings and withdrawals through the platform dashboard when the minimum withdrawal limit is met. No hardware setup, technical configuration, or maintenance is required. For investors seeking to mine Bitcoin without the operational burden of running hardware, TokensCloud offers an easy entry into cloud mining. Sign up now and get a free $100 registration bonus.
Ethereum’s validator exit queue is now empty Reduced sell pressure may stabilize ETH price Positive signal for Ethereum network health Ethereum has just hit a notable milestone — the validator exit queue has officially dropped to zero. This might sound technical, but it’s a strong signal for the network’s health and for investor confidence. When Ethereum transitioned to proof-of-stake, validators began securing the network by staking ETH. However, when many validators decide to exit at once, they’re placed in a queue to withdraw their staked ETH. A high number in this queue often signals unrest or lack of confidence in the network, and it can lead to increased selling pressure as large amounts of ETH hit the market. Now, with the queue sitting at zero, it shows that there’s currently no backlog of validators looking to exit — a big positive for the ecosystem. Why This Matters for ETH Price Stability With no validators lined up to exit, the immediate threat of sell-offs from unstaked ETH has eased. This reduces sell-side pressure and can help stabilize, or even potentially boost, the price of Ethereum. When mass exits happen, it often leads to significant ETH flowing back into the market — increasing supply and potentially pushing prices down. With the exit queue now cleared, that risk is temporarily off the table, giving ETH some breathing room in a volatile market. For investors and analysts, this signals a stronger commitment from validators to remain active in the Ethereum network — a good sign for long-term network security and confidence. ⚡️ UPDATE: Ethereum’s validator exit queue has dropped to zero, easing sell-side pressure. — Cointelegraph (@Cointelegraph) January 9, 2026 Looking Ahead: A Sign of Growing Network Confidence? The fact that validators aren’t rushing to leave suggests that Ethereum’s recent upgrades, stability, and rewards mechanisms are doing their job. Whether you’re a long-term ETH holder or just watching the markets, this is one of those subtle but important metrics that can indicate where the network — and possibly the price — is heading. As always in crypto, nothing is certain. But for now, Ethereum’s empty validator exit queue is a bullish technical indicator worth watching.
Bitcoin dipped sharply toward $89,190 before rebounding and reclaiming the $90,800 area at press time. Despite the volatility, price action remains constructive. Bitcoin is now trading nearly flat on the day while holding a 7-day gain of roughly 2.7%. What matters now is not the dip itself, but what formed underneath it. Momentum remains in sync, spot buyers added during weakness, and derivatives positioning has quietly stacked fuel near key levels. RSI Confirms Momentum Alignment as Cup-and-Handle Structure Holds Bitcoin continues to trade inside a developing cup-and-handle pattern on the daily chart. This structure forms when price rounds out a base, pauses through a handle, and then attempts a breakout above resistance. The recent dip into the $89,190 area helped deepen the handle rather than damage the pattern. Momentum remains supportive. The Relative Strength Index, or RSI, tracks price momentum. When RSI moves in the same direction as price, it confirms trend strength. Bitcoin Pattern: TradingView Between December 9 and January 5, Bitcoin made a higher high, and RSI printed a higher high as well. This alignment shows momentum is moving with price, not against it. No bearish divergence has appeared, reducing near-term breakdown risk. Two hurdles remain. Bitcoin must first clear the upper boundary of the handle and then break the neckline. Until those levels are reclaimed, the breakout remains a setup, not confirmation. Spot Accumulation Grows as Derivatives Positioning Builds Pressure On-chain data shows that long-term conviction holders did not sell into the dip. They added. Hodler Net Position Change measures whether long-term holders are accumulating or distributing Bitcoin. On January 6, when Bitcoin traded near $93,700, the metric stood at roughly 9,933 BTC. Amid yesterdays dip, it rose to about 12,322 BTC. That is an increase of nearly 2,400 BTC in two days, or roughly a 24% rise in accumulation during price weakness. This shift matters because, through late December, holders were still selling despite occasional price rallies. That behavior has now changed. Hodlers Keep Adding: Glassnode At the same time, derivatives positioning has tilted heavily in one direction. Liquidation data from perpetual futures shows cumulative short liquidation exposure of roughly $3.9 billion, compared with about $2.3 billion on the long side. That means shorts outweigh longs by nearly 70%. Liquidation Map: Coinglass This imbalance creates pressure. If the price moves higher, short positions are forced to close, thereby adding buy orders to the market. That dynamic often accelerates breakouts once key resistance levels are breached. A major short liquidation cluster sits near $94,820, with roughly $2.6 billion in cumulative short exposure stacked around that level. This zone aligns closely with the neckline of the cup-and-handle structure, which we will discuss later. Key Liquidation Cluster: Coinglass In simple terms, spot accumulation is building the base, while leverage positioning is stacking breakout fuel above the price, the two triggers behind the breakout hope. Key Bitcoin Price Levels Decide Whether the 12% Breakout Triggers The BTC price levels now define the outcome. The first hurdle sits near $92,390. A sustained move above this level would break Bitcoin out of the handle. The next and more important level is around $94,900. A daily close above this zone would clear the neckline and push the price directly beyond the largest short liquidation cluster, highlighted earlier. That move could continue triggering forced short covering. If that occurs, the measured move from the cup-and-handle structure points to roughly a 12% upside, targeting the $104,000 to $107,250 region. Interim resistance may appear near $96,700. Bitcoin Price Analysis: TradingView Downside risk remains defined. Holding above $88,340 keeps the Bitcoin price structure intact. A break below $86,560 would weaken the pattern. A move under $84,310 would invalidate it entirely. For now, Bitcoin is not breaking down. Momentum is aligned, long-term holders are adding during weakness, and leverage is positioned in a way that could amplify any upside move. If price reclaims the handle and neckline, the breakout fuel is already in place.

Pump.fun price action turned sharply negative after a strong rally earlier this week. The token surged alongside heightened activity on the platform, but gains quickly unraveled. Over the past 24 hours, PUMP dropped 18%, erasing momentum and rendering recent milestones ineffective in supporting price. The decline highlights fragile confidence among participants. While Pump.fun reached record usage levels, price action failed to reflect that growth. PUMP Holders Show No Conviction Pump.fun reached a major operational milestone on January 6, recording $2.03 billion in daily DEX volume. Such activity typically supports bullish price movement. However, PUMP failed to rally following the announcement, signaling weak translation of platform success into token demand. PUMP DEX Volume. Source: DeFiLlama Investor participation initially increased alongside the volume spike. Active addresses rose, suggesting heightened engagement. That participation proved conditional. As the PUMP price began falling, many users exited positions, indicating behavior driven by anticipated gains rather than confidence in long-term value. PUMP Active Addresses. Source:Santiment This reaction suggests speculative positioning dominated activity. Instead of reinforcing price stability, the milestone became a sell trigger. The lack of sustained follow-through implies that market participants viewed the event as an opportunity rather than a foundation for higher valuation. PUMP Buying Remains Weak Macro indicators offer limited support for a recovery. Data shows the top 100 PUMP holders modestly increased positions over the past week. Their combined holdings rose by just 0.87%, reflecting restrained accumulation rather than strong conviction. Large holders often lead trend reversals through decisive buying. In this case, accumulation remains minimal. The marginal increase suggests caution among influential wallets, which reduces the likelihood of a sustained rebound driven by long-term investors. PUMP Top 100 Holders. Source: Nansen Weak accumulation limits upside durability. Without meaningful capital inflows from top holders, price rallies rely heavily on short-term traders. That structure leaves PUMP vulnerable to rapid reversals during periods of volatility. PUMP Price Needs To Rally 50% PUMP trades near $0.00217 at the time of writing after an 18% daily decline. Price is currently holding above the $0.00212 support level. This zone now acts as immediate defense against further downside. Despite recent gains, PUMP remains far from recovering December losses. A full recovery would require another 50% rally, which appears unlikely under current conditions. If bearish momentum persists, the price may fall below $0.00212 and test $0.00191 support. PUMP Price Analysis. Source:TradingView A bullish alternative depends on stronger accumulation and improved participation quality. If investor demand increases and selling pressure eases, PUMP could rebound toward $0.00242. A move above this level would invalidate the bearish thesis and signal renewed confidence.
Zcash price has weakened sharply, confirming the bearish ascending wedge that had been forming over recent weeks. ZEC broke down decisively, erasing prior gains and pushing the asset into a corrective phase. While the decline signals growing downside risk, on-chain data suggests some investors may be positioning against a deeper collapse. Zcash Traders Are In Trouble Derivatives data highlights increasing stress among long-position traders. The liquidation heatmap displays a dense cluster of long liquidations between the current Zcash price and the $430 level. A move toward that zone could trigger forced closures worth approximately $28.46 million. Such liquidations often accelerate price declines. As leveraged positions unwind, traders tend to flip bearish. This shift can increase short interest, amplifying downside pressure as short contracts begin to dominate the derivatives market. ZEC Liquidation Map. If ZEC approaches the $430 range, sentiment may deteriorate quickly. Rising liquidation risk could encourage traders to anticipate further losses, reinforcing bearish momentum through additional short positioning. Hints Of Recovery Arise Despite price weakness, macro indicators present a mixed picture. The Chaikin Money Flow indicator is forming a bullish divergence. Over the past 10 days, the ZEC price has posted lower lows, while the CMF has registered higher lows. CMF measures capital flow using price and volume to assess accumulation versus distribution. A rising CMF during falling prices suggests institutional accumulation. This pattern indicates that larger holders may still be adding exposure despite short-term losses. ZEC Bullish Divergence. Such divergence can precede reversals if supported by broader market stability. While not a guarantee, continued accumulation could slow selling pressure. If market conditions improve, this capital inflow may help ZEC stabilize and attempt recovery. Is ZEC Price Still Vulnerable? ZEC trades near $453 at the time of writing, down roughly 9% over the past 24 hours. The drop pushed the price below the $500 psychological support. This breakdown confirmed the bearish ascending wedge, increasing the likelihood of further downside. However, a bullish alternative remains possible if accumulation strengthens. Should large holders continue adding exposure, ZEC may bounce off $442 and attempt to reclaim $500. Securing that level as support could open a move toward $550, signaling a trend reversal. ZEC Price Analysis. On the other hand, technical projections from the pattern still point to a potential 27% correction. Under this scenario, ZEC could fall toward $363. Sustained selling pressure would likely push the price below the $403 support, invalidating the bullish thesis. Read the article at BeInCrypto
Canton Coin is slipping at a critical moment. After briefly breaking back into its consolidation zone of a bullish pattern, the token has corrected nearly 16% over the past seven days and now sits about 22% below its all-time high, set just a week ago. The move has put a widely watched bullish structure at risk. The broader setup still points to a large upside if conditions improve. But weakening volume and capital flow suggest the window for that breakout may be closing faster than expected. Cup-and-Handle Breakout Faces Pressure Near Key Support On the 12-hour chart, Canton has been forming a cup-and-handle pattern, a structure that often precedes strong continuation moves. The handle phase represents a pause after an advance, where the price consolidates before attempting a breakout. For Canton, that breakout projection remains aggressive. If price can reclaim strength and clear the resistance neckline, the measured move still points to a potential 172% upside. However, the problem is where the price is trading now. Bullish Pattern: TradingView Canton is hovering just above the handle support zone, making the downside risk more immediate than the upside reward. A sustained 12-hour close below $0.13 would weaken the structure. This imbalance matters. The neckline is far above the current price, while invalidation sits uncomfortably close. That makes the pattern fragile in the near term. Rising Social Interest Keeps Breakdown at Bay, for Now One factor preventing a sharper sell-off is rising attention. Social dominance, which tracks how much a token is discussed relative to the rest of the crypto market, has climbed sharply in recent days. Since January 3, Cantons social dominance has risen from roughly 0.05% to about 0.56%, a more than tenfold increase in under a week, even as the price has fallen. That rise stands out, especially given the weak weekly performance. This relationship has mattered before. In mid-December, when social dominance formed a local peak, Cantons price rallied 57% within a few days. A second local peak appeared near December 28, when social dominance reached roughly 0.74% and price traded around $0.12. That surge in attention was followed by a continuation move toward $0.17, Cantons all-time high. Rising Social Chatter: Santiment In Cantons short trading history, spikes in social dominance have consistently aligned with local price expansions. That makes the current rise in attention notable. It may be the main reason the CC price has not yet broken down despite broader weakness. But attention alone cannot sustain a breakout. Weak Volume and Capital Flow Undercut the Bullish Case For Canton Price While social interest has increased, participation has not. On-balance volume (OBV), which tracks whether volume confirms price direction, has continued to trend lower on the 12-hour chart. Since mid-November, Cantons price has pushed higher, but OBV has moved in the opposite direction. And it continues to weaken. Volume Weakens Throughout: TradingView That divergence indicates that rallies have been driven by thin trading volume rather than by expanding demand. It explains why the price is now struggling to follow through, thereby extending the consolidation period. Capital flow data adds to the concern. Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), which measures whether big capital is entering or leaving an asset, dropped below the zero line on January 5. That move signals net outflows. Although CMF briefly stabilized and avoided a breakdown after a small bounce on January 7, it remains weak and close to rolling over again. Big Money Avoids Canton Coin: TradingView When both OBV and CMF trend lower, it suggests larger players are not committing fresh capital. Without that support, bullish patterns often fail before reaching their breakout zones. From a price perspective, the levels are clear. The Canton price needs to hold above $0.13 to keep the bullishness intact. A move back above $0.15 would be the first sign of regained strength. A sustained push above $0.19 would be required to trigger the 172% breakout scenario. Canton Price Analysis: TradingView On the downside, a loss of $0.13 followed by $0.11 (near the handle support) would confirm that the bullish structure has weakened considerably. For now, Canton is being held up by rising attention, not by volume or capital. That imbalance explains the tension in price action. Unless buying participation and money flow improve soon, the bullish setup risks giving way before it ever gets a chance to play out.
