• Stellar price dropped sharply as altcoins shed recent gains.
• Broader market conditions, with Bitcoin dipping towards support, are a critical indicator.
• XLM bulls could see stagnation if the price drops to $0.20 or lower.

Stellar price traded lower as top altcoins mirrored the movement of Bitcoin on Monday, and a slice through $0.22 threatened further declines toward the critical $0.20 support area.

As selling pressure mounts, drawing fresh bearish bets across crypto exchanges, the broader market caution could allow for a deeper correction.

Currently, bears dominate sentiment, fueled by technical breakdowns and fading on-chain conviction.

XLM price nears multi-month support

Stellar’s price has seen $0.20 emerge as a multi-month demand zone in recent months.

Recently, the altcoin trended to above $0.24 before falling to support at $0.22.

An attempt to recoup losses ended around $0.23, leaving the altcoin sliding to under $0.21 on Jan. 19 as Bitcoin plunged to under $93,000.

The repeated rejections, with a marked downtrend, might erode buyer resolve and allow for a plunge to $0.20 or below.

In favour of bears are derivatives that currently scream caution. Open interest has dropped to $131 million, with long-to-short ratios signaling more shorts piling in. This setup emboldens bears eyeing sub-$0.20 targets. BTC correlation will also matter.

“Gold just hit a new all-time high of $4,600. It’s now headed towards $5,000, a major 4.618 Fibonacci extension resistance level,” crypto analyst Lark Davis noted on X.

But the analyst added:

“But the faster gold blasts through to $5,000, the quicker we could see meaningful capital rotation out of precious metals and into Bitcoin.”

Stellar price technical outlook

Bears thrive on clear chart failures and XLM trades below both its 50-day ($0.227) and 200-day ($0.324) moving averages.

Prices have accelerated lower since October 10, 2025, forming a bearish structure with RSI retreating to under 50 following a brief spike to the overbought line.

The price rejections at previous support zones mean $0.25 and $0.22 now act as overhead resistance.

Meanwhile, a daily close below $0.20 could accelerate the dump toward multi-year lows of $0.18 and $0.14.

On the upside, Stellar will target $0.32 and $0.41 supply zones. A daily close above $0.23 will validate this thesis, opening up conviction trades.

The last time XLM price went parabolic, bulls exploded from lows of $0.10 to above $0.63 in November 2024, and again from lows of $0.24 to peak at $0.52 in July 2025.

Gains came amid spikes for XRP, an altcoin related to XLM in terms of its product goals.

The Ripple token reached highs of $3.42 in July, outpacing the broader market amid major catalysts such as regulatory milestones and the launch of the RLUSD stablecoin.

• Sui price fell as tariff jitters spooked global markets.
• The token tumbled 12% in the past 24 hours as Bitcoin retreated under $93,000.
• Tariff jitters and overall risk-off sentiment threaten further SUI downturn.

Sui price plunged nearly 13% to lows of $1.55 amid a broader market downturn marked by significant capital exodus from risk assets.

This sharp correction, amplified by Bitcoin’s retreat from $96,000 highs to under $93,000 and Ethereum’s retest of $3,200, came as crypto saw over $680 million in longs liquidated.

Many analysts are pointing to escalating geopolitical tensions tied to U.S. tariff threats on Europe over Greenland.

Sui price plunges amid Bitcoin weakness

Sui tumbled from $1.70 to a daily low of $1.54, breaching its 50-day exponential moving average at $1.70. The altcoin’s price has entered oversold territory with RSI below 40.

Bears showed their teeth as Bitcoin’s price revisited the $92,500 support mark. As seen recently, this exacerbated the drop in altcoins.

Sui, with a higher beta, suffered notable losses and saw over 10 million SUI tokens flow to exchanges.

Technically, failure to reclaim $1.65 risks a slide to $1.40, with Sui’s support breach amid BTC deleveraging screaming further caution for bulls.

Recently, a six-hour network outage dented community sentiment, and despite key upgrades, the lingering concern suggests a potentially slow recovery.

However, if Bitcoin stabilises above $92,000 and reclaims key levels below $100,000, a follow-up altcoin rebound could see SUI eye the $2 mark and higher in the coming days.

Sui price fell as tariff jitters spooked global markets

The rout in top altcoins comes as BTC and ETH pull back after President Trump’s threat of 10% tariffs on several European countries.

Escalating to 25% by June, the tariffs will target imports from Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, the UK, and Finland.

These measures retaliate against opposition to the US acquisition of Greenland, prized for Arctic security and rare earth minerals.

European indices like DAX and CAC 40 fell over 2% on Monday, but gold surged, and the dollar index topped 108, pressuring crypto.

In retaliation, the EU has readied €93 billion in countermeasures, but with a potential trade war in the making, many alts could face further pain.

While Bitcoin ETF inflows offer a floor, miner capitulation as profitability weakens may spell doom.” It means the $90k zone is a key threshold, with retail doomed if prices fall further.

Crypto trader BitGuru thinks the decline has allowed Sui to sweep liquidity “into a key demand zone.” The next move is key as the current price level has often acted as a base for the next leg up.

• Cardano price dropped to $0.37 after another rejection around $0.40.
• The technical picture points to a potential downside continuation to $0.32.
• The ADA price was down 4% in the past 24 hours.

Cardano’s ADA token is down and faces a brutal supply wall near $0.40, where relentless selling pressure threatens to derail bulls’ hopes of an extended upside.

The token changed hands nearly 4% in the red on Friday, hovering around $0.38 as short-term downside risks persist for top coins. As the chart below shows, ADA traded to a daily low of $0.379.

Cardano price hits supply wall near $0.40

Cardano’s price action has recently encountered a formidable supply wall around the $0.40 threshold, a level that has repeatedly acted as a barrier to upward momentum.

The 50-day exponential moving average sits at $0.41, and acts as a stubborn ceiling that has informed multiple price rejections.

Meanwhile, ​the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart currently lingers below the neutral mark. In technical analysis, this highlights a potential extension towards the oversold territory with a sloping outlook.

Another indicator, the ADX, shows a reading of 19.5 and points to bearish strength.

The negative directional dominance favours sellers.

The MACD similarly shows bearish divergence under the zero line, while Bollinger Bands contract toward the lower rail. It all adds up to a token facing huge downside volatility.

The $0.40 zone is therefore just another key resistance level, but a zone of notable supply overhang.

Cardano shows weakness amid broader headwinds

Cryptocurrencies ended the past year largely bearish amid broader market headwinds.

This saw Bitcoin struggle to defend key levels and fall to lows of $80,000 before bouncing. BTC, however, has retreated from above $97,500, and this looks to have capped momentum for top altcoins.

QCP analysts recently noted that while the macro environment could boost bulls, volatility might remain elevated. Both Bitcoin and Ethereum thus show a risk-off outlook unless the market sees cleaner spot bids.

Vaulta is among the altcoins to falter amid this downturn, and Cardano’s on-chain metrics, like dormant supply activation, point to similar sell-off pressure.

Recent rejections from the 50-day EMA also come after prices fell sharply from above $0.82 on October 10, 2025. The moving average now sits at $0.41 and recently triggered a decline to lows of $0.37.

Currently, ADA is back at the fragile $0.38 support, and with funding rates flipping negative, shorts may have an upper hand.

This classic bearish signal signals that retail optimism is evaporating. However, the 26% decrease in daily volume betrays weak conviction, and price may probe the key supply zone again.

If ADA price doesn’t reclaim $0.40 with a volume surge, it risks a 10% breakdown that could bring multi-month support lows of $0.32.

• Vaulta, formerly EOS, plunged to a lows of $0.14 to mark its drop to a new all-time low.
• The token was down 20% in the past 24 hours and saw trading volume spike by more than 400%.
• Selling pressure might see A extend losses to a new level.

Vaulta’s price has crashed 20% in the past 24 hours, with bears smashing through support to hit a new all-time low under $0.14.

This brutal drop, which occurred amid a spike in daily spot volume, deepens the pain for the token formerly known as EOS, which had traded as high as $0.77 in May last year.

If not aware, Vaulta rebranded from the former EOS network in early 2025, moving from a smart contracts-focused platform to a web3 banking network.

Bulls saw the A token rise to the all-time high highlighted above before this uptick began to evaporate.

The past 24 hours have seen Dash and Axie Infinity extend gains, but on the other end of the line are top losers like Kaito and Vaulta.

​Vaulta price: profit-taking sees A hit a new all-time low

The panic selling that gripped the broader crypto market as Bitcoin shed gains from its all-time high of $126,000 meant A dumped sharply.

Post-rebrand optimism fading allowed sellers to accelerate the capitulation.

Vaulta’s slide has now pushed prices to a new all-time low, with sellers flooding the market and crushing momentum. Data from CoinMarketCap shows daily trading volume jumped more than 400% to $128 million.

The downside action that has led to a broader altcoin market slowdown could amplify the pain for Vaulta.

Many altcoins’ struggles are tied to Bitcoin’s own stumbles below $100,000 and current poise near key support levels.

​Technical outlook spells doom

Vaulta’s charts paint a nightmare scenario for bulls. The token has recently recoiled off the 50-day exponential moving average, which has acted as a resistance zone around $0.18-$0.20.

Other technical indicators signal a bearish stranglehold, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) sloping towards the oversold territory. While it could allow for a reversal, the reading of 34 means there is room for another leg down.

Elsewhere, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator hints at a bearish crossover.

Buyers may eye a rebound amid long-shot catalysts such as network upgrades and broader altcoin market bounces. However, near-term sentiment remains toxic with open interest sinking to $13 million.

According to Coinglass data, the unforgiving downside action has also pushed the open interest weighted funding rate to -0.0294%.

• Axie Infinity price jumped 13% to near $1.30 as bulls extended gains to over 30% this past week.
• Top gaming ecosystem tokens, including Gala and The Sandbox continue to lag broader market.
• AXS price could rally to $2.25 if momentum from the four-year low holds.

The Axie Infinity token has bounced more than 13% in the past 24 hours amid a notable recovery from recent losses that pushed AXS to lows last seen in 2021.

As renewed investor interest allows bulls to bounce off a four-year low, the technical picture points to a potential upside continuation.

Sentiment across crypto, with several altcoins attempting reversals after extended periods of pressure, may add to bulls’ advantage.

Axie Infinity outpaces other gaming tokens

Market data  during early US hours on January 16, 2025 showed Axie Infinity price hovering around $1.23. However, buying pressure had the token trading at highs of $1.30, not far off the weekly resistance level around $1.35 reached on Jan. 14.

In late December, Axie Infinity fell to $0.78, the lowest mark since the breakout from $0.73 to highs of $1.18 in January 2021.

The token has surged by over 30% in the past week, with a revisit to the $1.00 level before another bounce reflecting fresh buying momentum.

A look at the gaming tokens ecosystem, CoinMarketCap data shows AXS to be outpacing peers in the past 24 hours and week.

Immutable, Gala, Floki, The Sandbox, Decentraland and MultiversX are all struggling. Can Axie Infinity continue to buck the trend?

Axie Infinity price forecast

While AXS is not fully out of the woods following its severe drawdown since it peaked at $165, the bounce from under $1 may test bears’ resolve.

Positive developments within the Axie Infinity ecosystem, including economic adjustments and upcoming gameplay enhancements, might combine with overall market sentiment to bolster upward price action.

For instance, Axie Infinity has introduced an App Token (bAXS), which means that instead of AXS, holders can now hold bAXS.

This token can be staked or spent directly in Axie Core. Analysts say the launch of bAXS is a major step for Axie Infinity, and adoption will benefit AXS.

From a technical perspective, the daily chart shows the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 66.

This indicates that bulls have room to extend gains before entering the overbought territory.

Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) recently marked a bullish crossover and features an expanding histogram.

If key support holds at $1.20, the next hurdle may be around $1.50 and $2.25.

On the downside, breaking below the psychological support level will encourage sellers, potentially allowing for another multi-year low.
