The technical analysis of XRP’s price action reveals that the cryptocurrency now languishes within a liquidity zone that has, since December 2024, served as both crutch and catapult. This zone, spanning the modest range from $1.90 to $1.75, has acted as a siren, luring the price with an almost gravitational pull. Even after ascending to its zenith of $3.65 in July 2025, XRP succumbed to the inevitable correction, finding solace-albeit temporary-within this very liquidity pocket.

A quick squint at the short-term chart reveals a scene more chaotic than a classroom of Oompa-Loompas on a sugar high. Not only has Bitcoin plummeted through the bottom of its ascending triangle (fancy talk for “it’s gone south”), but it’s also lost its grip on the $90,000 support. Now, that level has turned into resistance faster than you can say “scrumdiddlyumptious.” A quick wick back to this level confirms it-the bears are having a field day.

In a statement so official it was probably typed on a keyboard with solemn purpose, the exchange announced spot trading shall commence on January 22, 2026, at precisely 08:00 UTC. One assumes this punctuality is to prevent any unruly speculation before breakfast.

Initial prices were a wild $20 million fantasy, until the token descended to a meager $0.0008 per unit. A market cap now smaller than a teacup’s worth of tea. Truly, the universe has a sense of humor.

Chainlink, that plucky little oracle of the crypto world, has entered what we might call the “Great Gulp” phase. Whales have been scooping up LINK like it’s going out of fashion, all while the retail crowd was busy shouting, “The sky is falling!” (Spoiler: it wasn’t. It was just a seagull with indigestion.)

The digital darling now languishes precisely where it had the misfortune to conclude 2025, having squandered a three-week dalliance above $97,000 with the shameless promiscuity of a particularly indiscreet socialite. At present, it makes feeble attempts at recovery after touching a positively mortifying $87,901.

U.S. equities generally decided they needed a sit-down on Tuesday, with selling pressure building up like a very impatient queue. The Dow, in its infinite wisdom, decided to lead the charge downwards, tumbling 870.74 points to 48,488.59. The Nasdaq Composite followed suit, dropping 561.06 points to 22,954.32, while the S&P 500 and NYSE Composite also joined the party, losing points with a sort of resigned sigh. It was, in short, a day where nobody won, which is statistically quite likely, actually.

Bitcoin, it seems, has decided to ignore the drama of retail emotion. The so-called Master of Crypto (a title that sounds like it was awarded by a particularly enthusiastic mother) pointed out on X that even when Donald Trump’s latest headline hit-a man whose tweets could make a stock market sneeze-Bitcoin barely batted an eyelash. It took the Asian institutional flows to get the party started, with gold tagging along like the plus-one no one invited but everyone tolerates.

Though the long-term holders, those valiant souls, still offer a modicum of support, the growing tide of sell-side pressure and the broader market’s languid state threaten to test their fortitude. One might wonder if their resolve can withstand the tempest.
