Solana has fallen back into a major weekly demand zone that analysts say could dictate whether its recent outperformance resumes or slips into extended consolidation. One analyst highlights this area as a historic pivot where momentum often either recovers or weakens, while another points to $119 and the 200-week simple moving average around $100 as key levels for any high-conviction long setup.

SUI is trading in a compression zone near key resistance around $2, with analysts highlighting this area as a typical smart money entry stage. The weekly chart shows an intact ascending channel, demand between $1.15 and $0.80, and price currently hovering near $1.28 with support at $1.50. A sustained move above $2 could open the way toward $2.50 and higher targets, while failure to clear resistance risks a downside retest toward $1.20.

Bitcoin fell back below the $85,200–$86,200 resistance zone, with MakroVision Research noting a decisive rejection and a return into the prior low’s range. Analyst MartyParty said a CME gap is opening that may be filled by Sunday evening, highlighting short-term volatility risks and scenarios around $81,800, $84,500, and lower liquidation levels near $79,350.

Ethereum is holding above the $2,600 support area as traders attempt to steady price action after a bout of volatility, with multiple analysts watching this level on lower‑timeframe charts. Upside scenarios focus on potential recoveries toward $3,050–$3,350, while failure to hold nearby supports around $2,710 and $2,450 could open room for a deeper slide toward the $2,400–$2,100 zone. Persistent weakness in the ETH/BTC pair underscores Ethereum’s underperformance versus Bitcoin and suggests that price swings may remain elevated in the near term.

Bitcoin was originally conceived as a "digital gold" style store of value designed to benefit from de-dollarisation and inflation, but recent market action shows investors favouring physical metals instead. Over roughly the past year, gold has climbed about 55% and silver around 150%, while BTC has traded largely sideways. Analysts Himanshu Sinha and Doctor Profit argue that central bank gold demand and the gold/BTC ratio both suggest gold may keep outperforming and that Bitcoin is currently behaving more like a speculative risk asset.

Solana's price has cooled after a roughly 20% decline from resistance near $150, with the token now hovering around a key technical area. Analyst Umair Crypto highlighted that rejection at the Value Area High near $141 sent SOL back into its two-month trading range, where it is retesting the Value Area Low flip zone around $128. Further consolidation above this support, described by BitGuru as a compression phase, could precede a sharp move in either direction depending on how price reacts to nearby support and resistance.

XRP is being positioned by several analysts for a potential new growth stage as the anticipated Clarity Act aims to define which digital assets are permitted under U.S. regulation. They argue that a clear framework could unlock larger institutional participation, fresh liquidity, and deeper integration of XRP into cross‑border settlement infrastructure. Until regulatory structures, liquidity corridors, and compliance systems are fully in place, they expect XRP’s price to remain compressed below $2.00 despite ongoing institutional positioning.

Ethereum has recently been linked to a fully encrypted ICO on its mainnet, where Zama reportedly ran a sealed-bid Dutch auction using confidential USDT and encrypted data. Within three days the sale drew over $118 million, shielding more than $100 million and attracting 11,000+ verified bidders, while BitMine Immersion Technologies bought 40,302 ETH in one transaction and now holds 4,243,338 ETH. On-chain data also indicate that the realized price of major accumulation addresses is acting as a crucial support level, with whales continuing to add ETH at prices close to their entry.

Bitcoin volatility has compressed as options positioning clusters around January 30, keeping price contained between $85,000 and $95,000, according to analyst NoLimit on X. The analyst said this "magnetic pull" may expire in 4 days, with a large gamma unwind that could free price action. Trader CEDOZXBT also flagged bullish CVD divergences and rising open interest, though confirmation remains early.
