Technical Analysis

Solana has introduced the v3.0.14 validator client for Mainnet-Beta, urging both staked and unstaked nodes to upgrade to enhance network resilience. At the same time, SOL trades around $135 with analysts watching $145 as a pivot and $187 as key resistance before February. Broader roadmap upgrades, including Firedancer and Alpenglow, aim to boost scalability while price structure signals compression and potential upside toward higher psychological levels.

XRP is trading just over $2 after an early January rally briefly reached $2.40, with the pullback holding above a flipped short‑term support. An inverse setup with the US Dollar Index around 99 has preceded major XRP advances, including a $3.65 peak in July. If the dollar weakens again, another leg higher could emerge; sustained strength may keep price consolidating near $2.

Bitcoin is trading within a tight range, with support around $90,500–$88,200 and a more defined zone at $90,588–$88,280. A daily close above $94,130, and later $98,200–$107,500 with $107,500 as a higher‑high trigger, would bolster the bullish case. Light weekend volume keeps $87,600 and $96,500 in focus as key levels.

On 10 January 2026, Nasdaq and CME Group announced the Nasdaq CME Crypto Index, including assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Chainlink. LINK’s price was retracing toward a key imbalance region around $13, while liquidity data highlighted a notable cluster of roughly $1.32 million near $15. Technical indicators and on-chain activity suggested traders were positioning for a potential directional move rather than engaging in panic selling.

A technical analyst focused on XRP states that the token is trading in a fragile mid-range structure, with key resistance sitting at $2.19–$2.34. A decisive five-wave advance above this band and the prior $2.42 peak could signal a new impulsive move higher, while failure at resistance may extend the correction toward support zones near $1.68 and $1.21–$1.55.

Bitcoin is trading around $90,624 after a pullback from its strong start to the year, with analysts highlighting a potential resistance zone just below $100,000. On-chain data indicates that new whale buyers have an average cost basis close to $99,000, while long-term whales and miners hold at significantly lower levels near $39,681 and $58,681. This positioning suggests structurally bullish conditions, but also points to $99,000 as a critical level where profit-taking or breakeven selling could intensify.

Ethereum is trading close to $3,090 and moving within a narrow $3,080–$3,100 range after a multi-day slide from the $3,250–$3,300 area. Short-term gauges show indecision, with intraday RSI in the low-to-mid 40s and MACD slightly negative. Key levels include support at $3,050 and resistance at $3,120–$3,150, with $3,250 still a cap.

On 10 January 2026, on-chain indicators showed Bitcoin shifting as long-term holders moved from accumulating to selling while newer whale wallets clustered around $99,000. The price is still trading above short-term support and the 21-day moving average, but it has stayed below the 50-week simple moving average for nine straight weeks. This combination of renewed supply from older coins and whale break-even levels near $99,000–$100,000 leaves the market at a sensitive point for the next major move.

According to TradingView data, large Bitfinex accounts reduced Bitcoin long exposure after a late-December peak near 73,000 BTC. X commentator MartyParty links the unwind to a Wyckoff-style spring and cites a potential move toward $135k, while CryptoQuant reports whale balances declined by over 200,000 BTC over the past year.

On January 9, analyst BitBull outlined on X a bullish Bitcoin outlook, arguing that a weekly Relative Strength Index breakout could lift BTC toward $103,000–$105,000 over the next three to four weeks. The projection implies around a 15% advance from the current price area near $90,600, where Bitcoin has mostly traded around $90,000 with brief moves above $91,000. The analyst's view references a similar RSI breakout in April 2025, which occurred before Bitcoin climbed to its all-time high of $126,080.
