Pump.fun has introduced a $3 million Pump Fund alongside a "Build in Public" hackathon to support 12 early-stage teams using a token-first model. Participating projects must keep at least 10% of their token supply, with each team reportedly eligible for $250,000, and Pump.fun's PUMP token briefly rose before trading near $0.0025 following the announcement.

On January 14, 2026, Ali Charts flagged $0.152 as Dogecoin's breakout trigger and outlined upside toward $0.164–$0.168. DOGE is pressing a key-range high near $0.156 after buyers defended $0.134, but the analyst prefers confirmation via EMA retests and warns against aggressive longs during low-liquidity Asian trading hours.

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.

Crypto analyst Lark Davis argues that several higher time-frame indicators now favor a potential relief phase for altcoins, including multi‑year trendline support on total market cap and bullish MACD crossovers on altcoin aggregates. He also points to an improving ETH/BTC ratio near prior cycle lows, while warning that a breakdown in overall market cap support could still turn these signals into bear‑market traps.

A U.S.-focused crypto analyst argues that U.S. developers, retail users, and some hedge funds are redirecting marginal capital from Ethereum to Solana due to cost and complexity. The video frames Ethereum as infrastructure and Solana as a consumer-grade product. On January 3, 2026, community posts echoed institutional ETH interest and a growing Solana DeFi stack.

Retail crypto analyst and YouTuber Oscar Ramos began 2026 highlighting what he views as a powerful Bitcoin structure emerging from a "boring bottom" around the high-$80,000 zone. He also described XRP trading below $2 as a key accumulation area in his personal strategy, while noting broader strength across several altcoins as market sentiment shifts from extreme fear toward simple fear.

Nasdaq‑listed Prenetics Global has halted its "1 BTC per day" accumulation strategy and frozen its Bitcoin treasury at 510 BTC while reallocating capital to its IM8 health and nutrition brand. The David Beckham‑backed firm had previously raised $48 million in an oversubscribed equity offering linked in part to growing its BTC position, but its board has now chosen to pause further crypto purchases as Bitcoin trades near $88,000.

HBAR remains below descending trendlines after a brief rebound, with structure still corrective. Key levels include $0.105 support (61.8% Fibonacci), a downside trigger near $0.108, and a potential confirmation above $0.115. A clear five‑wave advance is needed before treating the recent move as a lasting bottom.

According to a YouTube chart breakdown, Bitcoin Cash is testing a four‑year range from the August 2021 high, with a short‑term barrier near $627.60 and the 38.2% retracement around $677. If the range breaks, mapped Fibonacci projections point to roughly $851 and $960, contingent on Bitcoin advancing toward $90,000 and dominance easing from 59.56%.
