Hedera (HBAR) is currently trading around the $0.127 level during Wednesday's session, approaching a key resistance zone. If the price convincingly breaks above this level, the market could witness a new uptrend in the near term. Notably, institutional demand continues to rise, as HBAR spot ETFs recorded three consecutive days of net inflows this week. At the same time, positive signals from on-chain data and derivatives markets further strengthen the expectation that HBAR is poised to extend its upward trend.

Altcoins such as Dash (DASH), Story (IP), and Optimism (OP) have become the focal point, leading the broader crypto market's recovery over the past 24 hours. Although they have maintained the gains established on Tuesday, these assets began showing signs of slowing on Wednesday, raising concerns about a potential short-term correction.
The altcoin breakout coincided with Bitcoin (BTC) surging past the $95,000 mark, following the U.S. release of December Consumer Price Index (CPI) data at 2.7%, with core CPI at 2.6% — slightly below market expectations. This development indicates that inflationary pressure is showing signs of cooling, thereby reducing the Federal Reserve's urgency to quickly ease monetary policy.

Solana (SOL) is attracting strong attention from traders as its price structure is gradually tightening just below a key resistance level. After months of accumulation, analysts believe SOL may be preparing for a decisive trend breakout.
Bullish sentiment is returning to SOL
Since November 14, 2025, Solana has maintained a consolidation phase within a narrow price range of $120 to $145, while forming a 'cup and handle' pattern on the daily chart. On larger timeframes, this pattern is typically seen as a continuation signal, reflecting a slow accumulation phase followed by a controlled pullback to compress volatility before entering a breakout phase.

The meme coin market is currently sending mixed signals. Although the entire sector declined by over 5% last week, prices rose by about 5% in just the past 24 hours, signaling renewed interest. In this context, three standout names deserve attention, each with its own distinct story.
One meme coin rising despite selling pressure from whales, one being heavily accumulated during a correction phase, and another seeing strong trading volume around a key technical level.

After the previous bullish momentum weakened and the price adjusted down to a low of $2.03, RENDER staged an impressive recovery, surging 22% from the low of $2.2 to a two-month high of $2.7, surpassing the 20-day, 50-day, and 100-day EMAs.
As of the time of this article, RENDER's price has slightly adjusted, trading around $2.47, up 8.2% from the previous day. Notably, trading volume surged 230% to $242 million USD, reflecting renewed strong market interest.

XRP has experienced a sharp decline since its January 6 peak, losing nearly 15% of its value in just six days. Key support levels have been broken one after another, as selling pressure remains dominant. However, beneath this wave of selling, an unusual development has emerged: long-term, committed investors are increasing their buying at a pace unseen since last September.
Key price zones of XRP are still being maintained, and demand is quietly accumulating under downward pressure. This creates a rare divergence between price action and on-chain behavior.

BNB Chain has quickly taken the lead among competing blockchains in revenue generation. The first ten days of the new year have just concluded, a period long enough to identify standout blockchains leading the market in key areas. Network revenue is one of the critical indicators reflecting development, and BNB Chain is currently dominating decisively. The chain's daily revenue has, for the first time in two months, surpassed the $1.3 million threshold.

Bitcoin may break out in the short term before entering a final cycle phase full of risks, as on-chain data shows rising price momentum amid weakening liquidity — a signal often associated with a bear market risk heading toward 2026, according to analyst Willy Woo.
Sharing on the X platform on January 11, 2026, Woo presented a 'dual perspective': optimistic in the short term but cautious for the medium and long term. He wrote: 'I'm optimistic about BTC from late January into February, but currently remain bearish for 2026,' while emphasizing this view is data-driven and subject to change.

According to on-chain analyst Willy Woo, Bitcoin's price is approaching a potential short-term recovery, as macroeconomic policy moves in the U.S. could accelerate the adoption of digital currencies.
Woo's analytical models show that investment flows into Bitcoin hit bottom on December 24, 2025, and have been growing steadily since. Although the 2026 outlook remains cautious due to declining market liquidity, short-term factors are opening up price appreciation opportunities in the coming weeks.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has launched a criminal investigation into current Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell—an unprecedented legal move that has raised deep concerns about the central bank's independence.
"These legal procedures have added a new layer of uncertainty to the macro picture," Jimmy Xue, co-founder and COO of the quantitative yield protocol Axis, observed. According to him, challenging the Fed's independence strengthens Bitcoin's narrative as a 'neutral' asset operating outside legal or political disputes. "It is precisely this perception of neutrality that is attracting institutional capital, viewing Bitcoin as a hedge against policy risks driven by executive-level lawsuits," Xue said.

Monero (XMR) has just recorded impressive growth, rising over 29% in the past 24 hours to establish a new all-time high (ATH) of $548, surpassing the previous ATH of $517.50 set in April 2021.

The Zcash crisis has driven Monero's upward momentum
XMR's breakout occurred amid growing instability in its counterpart in the same segment, Zcash (ZEC). On Wednesday, the entire team from Electric Coin Company (ECC), the developer behind Zcash, resigned en masse due to disputes over working conditions and internal conflicts regarding assets and the project's direction.

Altcoins are quietly draining liquidity as Bitcoin increasingly struggles to defend its market share. The continuous rise in trading volume share among small-cap tokens indicates this is not merely an emotional, speculative wave. In reality, users are actively shifting capital, participating in transactions, and showing longer-term commitment to alternative assets.
The period from 2025 into early 2026 marks a clear turning point in the race for volume leadership in the crypto market. Bitcoin's (BTC) volume dominance, which remained around 45–50% at the beginning of 2025, has steadily declined to just about 30–35%.

Ethereum is going through a challenging phase, facing large-scale accumulation while demand remains low. At the time of update, ETH is trading around $3,092, showing almost no significant movement in the past 24 hours.
The following analysis from Coinphoton will provide insights into Ethereum's outlook for Q1 2026.

After a prolonged period of stagnation, the memecoin market has started to become active again. Capital is quietly flowing back, indicating a clear shift in momentum over the past 30 days.
Market capitalization of the entire memecoin market has been continuously declining since mid-December, dropping from over $42 billion to nearly $36 billion. However, at the beginning of January, investor sentiment reversed dramatically. Capital flowed into the market, pushing market cap skyrocketing from around $38 billion to a peak near $48 billion before a slight correction to $44.69 billion.

If Zcash (ZEC) made a mark as one of the standout cryptocurrencies of 2025, 2026 is likely to be Monero (XMR)'s time to shine.
Many factors suggest XMR has the potential to become a standout star in the cryptocurrency market next year. However, these very characteristics also make XMR a sensitive asset, carrying substantial legal risks for both users and investors.

Bitcoin's long-term holders (LTH) experienced one of the most intense distribution phases in history during 2025. Despite the market-shaking volume of sales, on-chain data analysis shows this pressure is gradually diminishing, opening the door to expectations of a new bullish cycle for Bitcoin.

TRON (TRX) is showing impressive activity on its network, yet the token's price movement has not kept pace with these advances.
In the context of a vibrant cryptocurrency market, where numerous coins are breaking through with double-digit gains, TRX has remained relatively cautious. This divergence has left investors wondering: is the network's expansion and growth momentum sufficient to translate into real value for TRX holders?

Whale activity has become the focal point of attention after Fasanara Capital transferred 25,000 HYPE, valued at approximately $667,700, to the Bybit exchange, increasing the risk of selling pressure.
Previously, this wallet received 500,000 HYPE (equivalent to nearly $13.3 million) from an address used for burning, helping to reduce supply pressure in circulation.
However, even small deposits onto the exchange often carry more significance than total inflows, as they reflect trading intent rather than confirmation of full sell-offs.

President Donald Trump said he has no plans to pardon former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, despite the latter seeking clemency from the White House, according to a disclosure to The New York Times.
In a two-hour interview, Trump touched on various topics, from U.S. policy toward Venezuela and ousted leader Nicolás Maduro, to the possibility of considering pardons for several high-profile individuals. The list mentioned included Maduro, former New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez, music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, and Sam Bankman-Fried.
