$1INCH 1INCH, the governance and utility token of the 1inch Network DEX aggregator, currently trades around $0.15–$0.17, with a market cap of approximately $215–230M.

The token remains in a prolonged bearish phase, down dramatically from its 2021 ATH of ~$4.

Technical indicators show bearish sentiment, with the Fear & Greed Index in "Fear" territory and recent forecasts predicting a possible dip toward $0.16 in early January.

Despite the price weakness, 1inch Network shows strong fundamentals: $214B+ in swap volume in 2025 (+39% YoY) and continuous product development.

Key 2026 roadmap highlights include enhanced MEV protection, deeper cross-chain capabilities, and trustless Bitcoin swaps without wrapping/bridges.

The launch of Aqua (shared liquidity protocol) in early 2026 could improve capital efficiency and token utility.

Competition in the DEX aggregator space remains fierce, pressuring fees and market share.

Most 2026 price predictions range conservatively from $0.25–$0.65, with optimistic outliers at $1+ only in strong bull scenarios.

Overall, 1INCH offers solid DeFi exposure with good development activity, but near-term price momentum is weak and highly dependent on broader crypto market recovery.

Long-term holders may find value if cross-chain and institutional DeFi narratives gain traction in 2026–2027.#USNonFarmPayrollReport #USTradeDeficitShrink #ZTCBinanceTGE #USJobsData #BTCVSGOLD $1INCH
