La capitalisation totale du marché des cryptomonnaies (TOTAL) est restée pratiquement inchangée, avec une légère hausse d’un peu plus de 500 millions de dollars au cours des dernières 24 heures. Bitcoin (BTC) enregistre une hausse similaire, tandis que l’atcoin Story (IP) a surpris le marché en progressant de 25,5 % aujourd’hui.

L’actualité du jour :

La baleine crypto Machi Big Brother a ouvert le 12 janvier une position longue avec effet de levier sur l’ETH d’une valeur de 34 millions de dollars sur Hyperliquid, laquelle s’est rapidement transformée en une perte de 325 000 dollars. Son compte affiche désormais des pertes cumulées de 22,5 millions de dollars, soit plus de 67 millions de dollars en dessous de son pic de capital.

Par ailleurs, le Sénat américain a retardé une étape procédurale clé concernant le projet de loi CLARITY sur la structure des marchés des actifs numériques, jetant le doute sur l’avancée de la réglementation crypto en 2026. Le président de la commission de l’Agriculture du Sénat, John Boozman, a repoussé l’examen du texte à la fin du mois de janvier.

Le marché crypto trouve un support

La capitalisation totale du marché crypto (TOTAL) a progressé de 580 millions de dollars au cours des dernières 24 heures, pour s’établir autour de 3,07 billions de dollars. Une volatilité accrue a brièvement fait chuter le cours de TOTAL jusqu’à 3,03 billions de dollars, reflétant un sentiment instable. Malgré ce gain modeste, l’évolution des prix montre que les investisseurs restent prudents dans un contexte de marché fluctuant.

Au cours de la même séance, TOTAL a grimpé jusqu’à 3,12 billions de dollars avant de se replier vers ses niveaux actuels. Cette large amplitude illustre un sentiment mitigé sur les marchés crypto. Acheteurs et vendeurs semblent actuellement à l’équilibre, ce qui suggère que le marché cherche toujours une direction claire plutôt que de s’engager dans une tendance durable.

Cela dit, le risque de baisse persiste si le sentiment de marché se détériore. Un revirement baissier pourrait ainsi faire passer TOTAL sous le support des 3,05 billions de dollars, récemment testé. La perte de ce niveau exposerait le marché à une nouvelle phase de faiblesse, laissant le cours vulnérable à un repli vers la zone des 3,00 billions de dollars.

Bitcoin perd de sa force haussière

Bitcoin évolue autour de 91 276 dollars et peine à franchir la résistance située à 91 511 dollars. Ce niveau a plafonné la dynamique haussière lors des dernières séances. Le BTC reste ainsi enfermé dans une phase de range, reflétant l’hésitation des investisseurs alors que le marché attend un signal de conviction plus fort pour valider une cassure à court terme.

Un franchissement réussi des 91 511 dollars modifierait toutefois la dynamique. Transformer ce niveau en support pourrait ainsi permettre à Bitcoin de progresser vers la zone des 93 471 dollars. Une pression acheteuse soutenue reste indispensable pour prolonger le mouvement. Si la demande se renforce, le BTC pourrait alors avancer progressivement vers le seuil psychologique des 95 000 dollars.

Le risque de repli reste toutefois présent. L’indicateur RSI commence à s’orienter à la baisse, signalant un affaiblissement de la dynamique haussière. Si les vendeurs prennent le contrôle, Bitcoin pourrait reculer vers 90 000 dollars. Une chute plus prononcée sous 89 241 dollars annulerait la thèse haussière et renforcerait la pression baissière à court terme.

Story vise à franchir la barre des 3 dollars

L’altcoin Story a surperformé l’ensemble du marché crypto avec une progression de 25,5 % au cours des dernières 24 heures, pour se négocier autour de 2,88 dollars. Ce mouvement puissant a fait de cet altcoin le meilleur actif de la journée, reflétant un intérêt accru des investisseurs et un regain de momentum à court terme.

IP se situe désormais juste en dessous du niveau psychologique des 3,00 dollars, en attente d’une percée décisive. L’indicateur Parabolic SAR reste sous le prix, confirmant une tendance haussière active. Ainsi, un franchissement net au-dessus de 3,00 dollars pourrait prolonger les gains vers 3,29 dollars, à condition que la pression acheteuse se maintienne.

Le risque de correction demeure toutefois si les investisseurs commencent à encaisser leurs gains. Une pression vendeuse renouvelée pourrait alors faire reculer IP vers 2,70 dollars. Une baisse plus marquée pourrait à son tour tester les 2,50 dollars, ce qui annulerait la thèse haussière et signalerait un affaiblissement du momentum à court terme.

Several members of the crypto community have accused Nikita Bier, product manager at X and Solana advisor, of deliberately removing crypto-related content from X (formerly known as Twitter).

These allegations surfaced when many users reported a significant drop in the number of crypto-related posts visible in their feeds.

Visibility of crypto on X: Why are users concerned?

The X platform has long been an indispensable source for the crypto community, enabling them to stay informed about sector news, track market developments, discover new opportunities, and identify emerging projects and new trends. Yet recently, users have increasingly voiced concerns about changes in their feeds, reporting a rise in posts unrelated to crypto.

As geopolitical tensions intensify, the US dollar (USD), long regarded as the market's default safe haven, is no longer reacting as it historically has.

Meanwhile, gold (XAU) and silver (XAG) are sending signals that go far beyond a typical rebound in commodities.

Gold reaches record highs, silver surges, but markets are hedging

Indeed, capital is massively flowing into tangible assets, pushing gold toward the key threshold of $5,000 and silver above $80, levels that force investors to reconsider their previous macroeconomic assumptions.

After a lackluster 2025 for Bitcoin, Changpeng Zhao (CZ) reactivates the dream machine by prophesying a crypto supercycle as early as 2026. However, one element could change everything.

According to CZ, 2026 will be explosive

The prophecy of a super cycle resurfaces! The former CEO of Binance, CZ, has reignited the debate on X by asserting that Bitcoin could experience an unprecedented growth phase in 2026. According to him, a cluster of indicators suggests the market might break free from Bitcoin's usual cyclical pattern and enter a prolonged bullish dynamic.

Monero (XMR) has officially reached a new all-time high after breaking the $598 mark. Its market capitalization has also surpassed $10 billion for the first time. In light of this development, many analysts remain bullish and believe this explosive move has only just begun.

The famous trader Peter Brandt has further fueled this optimism by comparing XMR's price behavior to that of silver, which recently hit a record high.

The crypto market is rebounding and several altcoins are rising rapidly? Imagine investing in a token that breaks all records, only to see your gains vanish in just a few days! Three projects are traps to avoid this week, all with extremely high RSI readings.

XMR

Monero reached a new all-time high of $567 this morning, thanks to a breakout beyond the $520 zone, confirmed by an ascending triangle. This surge is explained by an internal crisis at Zcash, where the development team at Electric Coin Company resigned following a governance conflict, causing a 20% drop in ZEC and a massive capital shift toward XMR.

XRP continues to decline, and we're even beginning to wonder if this is the end of the rally. Yet, this altcoin may not be finished yet, and the $3 mark could be reached sooner than expected!

1. The growth potential remains wide

The price of XRP has stabilized around $2.10 after a volatile start to the year. Several technical and fundamental indicators point to an imminent rally, particularly because the token still has significant room to grow.

The idea of buying 1 Bitcoin is coming back to the center of debate after a well-known crypto market analyst issued a warning. In a context where BTC's price is above $91,000, some experts indeed believe this target could become unattainable for some investors in the upcoming cycles.

The argument combines price, institutional adoption, and scarcity. To understand why this theory is emerging now and what factors influence it, it's useful to analyze the current context of the Bitcoin market and the signals observed by analysts.

The crypto market is rebounding, but Bitcoin faces three new obstacles, while XRP continues to move away from the bullish trend. Meanwhile, Monero (XMR) is becoming the new star of the sector and could even dominate in the coming weeks, as a state scandal reveals an unexpected aspect of the crypto kidnappings phenomenon in France.

The crypto market is heating up again

After a red week, total market capitalization is regaining color: BTC price stabilizes, altcoins are rising again, and one of them is particularly breaking records with a remarkable surge. Did you notice it?

BTC's price is regaining strength, but the small orange coin is far from out of trouble! With stablecoin dominance rising and unemployment looming, Benjamin Cowen reveals the precise timing of Bitcoin's next monumental drop, and the signs are already present.

Benjamin Cowen is counting the days

The crypto market is now evolving under the dominant influence of macroeconomic and on-chain analyses, pushing emotions to the background. In his latest analysis, Benjamin Cowen emphasizes the uncertainty of short-term forecasts, where Bitcoin's movements resemble a Brownian motion without a clear trend. He advocates focusing on historical data and the overall market structure rather than daily fluctuations.

A wallet (or crypto wallet) from the Satoshi era has recently been reactivated to move 2,000 Bitcoins (BTC), equivalent to approximately $180 million at current prices. Such an event, rare, typically draws market attention, as it involves coins mined during Bitcoin's earliest years.

The reappearance of these funds raises questions about the chosen timing and their potential impact. To better understand why this is a notable event, it is useful to analyze the historical context and patterns associated with this type of crypto portfolio.

The total market capitalization (TOTAL) and Bitcoin (BTC) price have stabilized and slightly rebounded over the past 24 hours, following a previous week that ended in the red. Altcoins also appear to be regaining momentum, with Monero (XMR) rising 24% to reach a new all-time high.

Today's news:

The South Korean Financial Services Commission has finalized guidelines allowing listed companies and professional investors to trade cryptocurrencies, ending a nine-year ban on corporate participation. This policy aligns with the government's 2026 economic growth strategy, which also includes regulations on stablecoins as well as the recently announced approval of spot crypto ETFs.

The long-standing, latent rivalry between Coinbase and Robinhood appears to be intensifying in 2026. What once amounted to a clear division between a crypto exchange and a retail brokerage has ultimately evolved into a direct confrontation for control of the primary interface of finance aimed at the general public.

The two companies now openly share the same ambition: to become the single platform that allows its users to trade, invest, speculate, save, and transfer money across multiple asset classes.

Bitcoin continues to fluctuate around $90,000, caught between price manipulation and the possibility of another downturn. Will the bullish trend return in January? That's what ChatGPT predicts on the matter.

Yes, an increase is possible

After reaching a peak near $95,000, Bitcoin experienced a correction down to around $90,000, marking a phase of profit-taking and leverage reduction. According to projections established by ChatGPT-5 based on market data, the January rally is not over.

If Zcash (ZEC) was among the winners of 2025, 2026 could ultimately be the year of Monero (XMR).

Several factors indeed show that XMR has the potential to become one of the best crypto assets in 2026. However, these same characteristics also make it a fairly sensitive asset, as they can expose users and investors to legal risks.

Stable demand for on-chain transactions over several years

The first catalyst comes from the on-chain demand for transactions in XMR. Indeed, this trend clearly emerges from blockchain data. Bitinfocharts data track the number of daily transactions of the three main privacy coins over nearly three years.

New year, new trends! The crypto market is experiencing a volatile week, with significant differences between assets on a strong upward trajectory and those undergoing notable declines. Performance details can be found in this week's top & flop crypto list.

Top Crypto: AI takes the lead

Render leads the way

Render (RENDER) shows a weekly gain of 51.33%, far outpacing the overall crypto market performance (+0.28%). This momentum aligns with renewed interest in AI cryptocurrencies, fueled by the launch of Nvidia's GPU Vera Rubin at CES 2026, which strengthens demand for decentralized computing networks.

BNB was one of the most performing Layer-1 altcoins in the market over the past year. Thanks to its ecosystem, closely tied to the vast user base of the world's largest crypto exchange, BNB could well continue on this trajectory in 2026.

Moreover, several on-chain indicators and trading data suggest that even during market corrections, it is unlikely that BNB will experience a significant drop.

Three factors supporting BNB's price in 2026

The upcoming weekend could be marked by losses for many altcoins, due to various factors related either to market conditions or external developments.

BeInCrypto has analyzed three of these altcoins that investors should therefore keep an eye on this weekend.

Polygon (POL)

POL has seen a resurgence of interest from investors since the beginning of the year, following its reaching a new all-time low on January 1, 2026. The altcoin then dropped to $0.098, sparking speculative interest and attracting buyers looking for a reduced entry price amid a broader crypto market stabilization.

In Europe, the crypto industry is beginning to feel the impact of rules that, until recently, remained largely theoretical. The European regulatory framework for crypto-asset markets (MiCA), a first of its kind, is now being implemented across all member states of the union.

This follows years of rapid growth and several failures that have demonstrated the need for clearer rules and better protection. Thus, with the entry into force of MiCA, crypto-assets no longer operate in a legal grey area in most of Europe, but are now embedded within a more stable and predictable set of rules.

As Iran heats up, blockchain watches and speculates like on Greenland, while Bitcoin may bear the brunt of the event.

Iran, the new favorite on Polymarket

The explosive political situation in Iran is shaking even digital markets. The capture of Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro by the US military resonated like a thunderclap in Tehran, where leaders fear a similar destabilization. On Polymarket, the probability of the supreme leader Ali Khamenei being removed by the end of 2026 has now reached 56%, a figure revealing investors' and speculators' concerns about a potential Iranian revolution.
