On Friday, Solana's price jumped 10.3%, reclaiming the $80 area and briefly moving past $85 after trading between $78 and $88 and dipping to $67 during the prior day's correction. Some market analysts see a possible move toward $88 and potentially the $90–$96 zone if bullish momentum continues, while others caution that losing support around $77–$78 could expose SOL to deeper declines toward $51 or even $40. As of the latest available data, Solana is trading at $84.17, down 2.5% on the weekly timeframe.

On Friday, crypto markets recovered 15% from multi‑year lows, and analyst Ali Martinez argued in an X post that an "inverted altcoin season" is developing as many tokens break down structurally. During a Thursday panel at Ondo Summit 2026, Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said a broad altcoin rally may never return.

On Monday, BNB Chain released a weekly snapshot for Jan 22–28, 2026, reporting an average 4.9 million DAU and 142.6 million transactions. BSC logged 2.59 million DAU while opBNB had 2.36 million. BNB's price fell 13.1% on the week, hovering near the $760–770 range after touching the $730 support.

On Thursday, Bitcoin fell nearly 9% toward the $81,314 area after a brief 2.6% rebound, slipping below near‑term supports. Analysts Ted Pillows and Rekt Capital warn the loss of the 100‑week EMA and a retest of the Macro Triangle bottom near $82,500 raise downside risks, with history implying up to a 76.88% drawdown toward $30,000 if patterns repeat.

Dogecoin has been moving between $0.119 and $0.151, with a brief rally to $0.156, and is now trying to reclaim the $0.1250 level after a recent 5% bounce. Some analysts say the current structure resembles past consolidation phases that preceded parabolic advances with gains of up to 215x, while others warn the coin is already in a bear phase that could bring a 50%-70% decline toward the $0.060-$0.035 area. As of the latest price action, DOGE trades around $0.125, roughly 1.4% lower on the week.

After retesting the $1.90 region on Friday and rebounding 4.6% intraday, XRP has remained in a $1.85–$2.00 band while defending macro support near $1.80. An analyst argues the altcoin is completing a running flat ABC correction that has unfolded over about 400 days, suggesting a possible structural breakout toward key resistance at $2.70 if the $1.80 level is not lost.

On Tuesday, BitMine reported that its Ethereum stash had risen to 4.2 million ETH after buying 35,268 ETH, valued at about $110 million, bringing its combined crypto and cash holdings to $14.5 billion. Following this move, the firm now controls 3.48% of ETH’s 120.7 million supply and has staked 1,838,003 ETH worth $5.9 billion, while the ETH price has fallen below $3,000 and is testing a key support area around the mid-range of $2,600–$3,350.

XRP recently dropped to a 12-day low near $2.02 before rebounding within a $2.05–$2.35 range, as market watchers track a possible shift in its price structure. Technical analysts highlight a break from months of lower highs and lows and compare today's setup to XRP's 2016–2017 pattern that preceded a major rally. Projections based on this historical "cycle formula" suggest a possible move toward $8, $13 and $27, while warnings about a developing three‑month bearish Heikin-Ashi candle signal the risk of a deeper multi‑month correction if the quarter closes weak.

On Friday, Solana (SOL) fell nearly 4% after a second attempt this week to clear resistance near $144, while it continued to trade within a $120–$145 range. Market observer Crypto Batman sees scope for a pullback toward $128–$130 and November lows, while King Arthur flags a reclaim of $143–$152 toward $171.55.
