• TRON (TRX) has extended its decline amid a widespread cryptocurrency market pullback.
• Prices have dropped further from recent highs near $0.32 and could slide to lows of $0.25.
• Market conditions, including Bitcoin’s performance, will dictate overall movement.

Latest market data shows the TRON token slipping below key support levels at $0.30, with this coming amid downward pressures related to geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty.

This comes as reduced risk appetite impacts top coins. Broader market losses tied to jitters around souring US-EU trade relations have spooked investors.

On Tuesday, Bitcoin dropped below $90,000 and briefly slid to $87,800.

Ethereum slid to under $3,000 amid sharp losses for US stocks, while Solana, BNB and XRP all fell below key support levels.

TRON price slips below $0.30

As crypto caught a bid last week, TRON’s price jumped to $0.32.

However, with bulls retreating across the market, the altcoin has once again breached the critical $0.30 support level.

Volume-driven selling has accelerated the drop, with the token now trading near $0.29 as of writing.

The 24-hour trading volume is up 22% to over $770 million.

This slip echoes patterns seen in late 2025, when TRX hovered around $0.28 to $0.30 amid similar market hesitancy.

While the token showed signs of pulling higher,  it generally has underperformed the broader crypto index.

The repeated test of the psychological support and resistance zone highlights indecisiveness.

Technical analysis: What next for TRON?

TRX displays weakening bullish momentum on the daily chart.

As can be seen,  the MACD signals a reversal with the histogram contracting.

Meanwhile, an RSI near 47 signals a potential acceleration towards oversold territory.

On the daily chart above, we can see the TRX price rose as RSI climbed to hit overbought conditions.

The pullback follows these gains and points to profit-taking.

Declines have pushed prices below the support line of a narrow ascending channel, and failure to reclaim $0.30 could allow bears to target lower supports at $0.25.

The 50-day exponential moving average currently acts as key reload zone near $0.29.

As such, upside potential remains if buying interest rebounds amid broader market recovery.

Bulls’ first targets lie in the $0.32-$0.33 resistance zone. Short term, with momentum hinging on broader market conditions, will see bulls eye $0.38 and $0.50.

How BTC navigates the negative terrain is crucial for altcoins, as an extension of bearish price action spells doom for buyers across the crypto market.

• Litecoin price fell below $70, trading to lows seen in April 2025.
• Declines follow a broader cryptocurrency market downturn amid geopolitical tensions.
• Bitcoin and Ethereum dropped to key support levels.

Litecoin (LTC) price has turned negative amid mounting downward pressure, with a slight dip in the past 24 hours pushing LTC below the critical $70 mark.

Seller dominance has the altcoin trading nearly 10% down over the past week.

This comes amid escalating geopolitical tensions fueled by uncertainties surrounding Greenland and the United States’ interest in the Arctic territory currently under Denmark.

It’s this dampening risk appetite across digital assets that has Litecoin at risk amid a correction to levels seen in April last year.

Litecoin fails to hold $70 support

Litecoin’s price action turned bearish after hitting a high of $84 on January 6, 2026.

A series of lower highs and lows led to today’s breach of the psychologically vital $70 support level.

It’s the first time in nearly a year, with market data showing LTC dipped to a low of $68.45 during early US trading hours on Jan. 20.

Daily volume, however, shrank 45% to about $413 million, indicating a potential thaw in heavy selling.

Interestingly, the $70 level coincides with a long-term downtrend line from early 2020.

The weekly chart also shows that the 50-week exponential moving average (EMA) is about to cross below the 200-week EMA.

A 50‑week EMA crossing below the 200‑week EMA is generally interpreted as a long‑term bearish signal.

In technical analysis, this is a “death cross,” and often suggests downside or weak performance, in this case, it suggests the recent trend has weakened.

The weekly RSI is downsloping but not yet in oversold territory, but last time it touched the threshold, the LTC price hit lows of $46.

On-chain metrics also reveal a surge in long-position liquidations.

According to Coinglass data, Litecoin has seen close to $800,000 in 24 hour liquidations. Meanwhile, open interest at $564 million points to potential exacerbation of the slide.

The areas around $62 and $51 offer the next support zones.

Bitcoin, Ethereum fall to key levels

Global stocks fell on Tuesday, and mirroring the move is Bitcoin (BTC), which extended its correction amid the geopolitical tensions related to Greenland.

BTC has fallen to near $90,000, with buyers unable to reclaim key levels despite bullish corporate signals. Strategy’s announcement of acquiring 22,305 BTC for $2.13 billion, at an average of $95,284 per coin, did not lift buyers.

Among top altcoins, Ethereum (ETH) has shed over 5% in the past 24 hours to hover near $3,000.

XRP has again failed to rally amid a recent spike and slipped to $1.92 as cryptocurrencies struggled.

Geopolitical risks may see these coins tumble further.

• Solana traded to lows of $128 as the price broke down from above $135.
• The technical outlook suggests bears could eye a dip to $120 or lower.
• Bitcoin’s trajectory will also dictate broader sentiment.

Solana (SOL) price declined by about 4% in the past 24 hours to trade below $130 as of writing on January 20, 2026.

The altcoin’s value slipped amid heightened selling pressure across the broader market, with corrections sending Bitcoin to around $90,600.

For Solana, derivatives metrics hint at a potential bearish tilt, with further downside action toward sub-$120 levels likely.

​Solana dips below $130

Top altcoins continue to see notable traction, as shown by the $1 billion real-world assets milestone for Solana.

However, while this points to long-term potential, in the short term, it appears bullish sentiment is waning.

Escalating global economic uncertainties and cryptocurrency sector volatility signal this outlook, with long liquidations in SOL derivatives surpassing $20 million in the past 24 hours.

The imbalance in liquidations, with longs comprising over 95% of total wipeouts, points to overcrowded bullish bets.

Notably, this shows how vulnerable bulls are to cascading sell-offs.

In this case, the aggressive unwinding by leveraged bulls has open interest in SOL futures contracting to roughly $8.2 billion amid diminished risk appetite.

​Meanwhile, funding rates hover at a mildly 0.0070%, but seller dominance has SOL prices down 8% this past week.

The monthly action has seen shorts shrink the altcoin’s value to just +2.4%.

A look at institutional flows does present a mixed picture. US spot Solana ETFs registered over $47 million in net inflows last week.

SoSoValue data shows that net inflows were up from about $41 million and $20 million over the previous two weeks.

However, spot-driven selling could erode this support, potentially triggering outflows.

​​SOL price forecast – Is $120 next?

As highlighted, Solana traded below the key support at $130, having slipped under the 20-day and 50-day exponential moving averages.

The EMAs are clustered at $137 and $159, respectively, hinting at a short-term bearish structure.

Charts also show the daily MACD line has crossed below its signal, with histogram bars expanding negatively.

Meanwhile, RSI hovers at 41 and is drifting toward oversold territory to suggest more room for downward momentum.

​If support at $125-$126 fails, it will open a path for a revisit of the $120 mark.

Bears could target lows of $116 reached on December 18, 2025.

On the other hand, upside resistance looms at the $137 level, and notable supply zones also await around $145 and $160.

A decisive move in either direction will be key to bears or bulls. Market sentiment will also hinge on Bitcoin’s trajectory, with fresh tumbles amplifying SOL’s downside vulnerability.

• Bitcoin’s bullish price outlook remains, but a retest of support near $90,000 poses a threat to this.
• The latest price action comes amid a whale move to transfer $84 million in BTC that had been dormant for 12 years.
• Global stocks and crypto faced new downside pressure amid escalating US-EU trade tensions.

The Bitcoin price revisited support below $92,000 early Tuesday as a whale’s sudden jolt stirred sentiment amid a transfer of over 900 BTC worth approximately $84 million, with the coins having been dormant for over a decade.

Mounting pressures on the cryptocurrency’s price also coincide with broader market jitters, which are largely fueled by escalating US-EU trade tensions over Greenland.

BTC also traded lower as US Treasury yields rose.

Bitcoin whale moves coins dormant for over 12 years

Details shared by blockchain tracker Lookonchain showed that an old wallet, labeled “1A2hq…pZGZm,” shifted 909 BTC to a fresh address “bc1qk…sxaeh” for the first time in 12 years.

More than $84 million worth of BTC was first loaded in the wallet in 2013 when BTC traded below $7.

With prices skyrocketing over the year, the whale finds themselves sitting on unrealized profits exceeding 13,000%.

The movement mirrors similar transfers seen when Bitcoin exploded past the $100,000.

A Bitcoin OG has woken up after 13 years of dormancy, moving all 909.38 $BTC($84.62M) into a new wallet.

When this OG first received $BTC 13 years ago, the price was under $7 — now up ~13,900×.https://t.co/gc0FeYxGkz pic.twitter.com/lxfikGdfNl

BTC price slipped nearly 2% as social media erupted with speculation of profit-taking.

However, with the whale’s funds remaining off exchanges, analysts are pointing to a possible wallet consolidation or enhanced security rather than imminent offloading.

Fed’s $3.8B liquidity injection puts crypto assets on alert

The Federal Reserve is set to inject $3.8 billion into the economy on Tuesday, drawing close attention from crypto traders who see potential upside for Bitcoin amid easing macro liquidity conditions.

The move comes as global markets refocus on liquidity, following a period of balance sheet expansion by the Fed aimed at supporting market functioning.

Such injections are often viewed as constructive for risk assets, including Bitcoin (BTC), based on the view that looser funding conditions in traditional markets can support higher asset prices.

Previous Fed liquidity operations, including a $29.4 billion repo injection in 2025, were cited by the founder of Cardano (ADA) as potentially supportive for Bitcoin and other risk assets.

During the last liquidity injection period, from December 12, 2025, to January 14, 2026, Bitcoin rose from about $90,270 to roughly $96,929.

On Monday, crypto watcher DefiWimar wrote on X that, “When traditional money printing kicks into high gear, smart money flows into crypto,” underscoring how increased liquidity can influence asset allocation decisions.

​Bitcoin faces mounting headwinds

Bitcoin has recently slid to the $90,000 level, further eroding the bullish sentiment that dominated amid the spike to above $97k.

In early Asian hours on Jan. 20, sellers pushed prices to $90,620.

This mirrored dips for Nasdaq futures, which were down by over 1.6% amid persistent headwinds in recent weeks.

While stocks have not recorded a major pullback, broader risk-off sentiment has capped the moves seen in 2026.

Cryptocurrencies have recorded similar downturns, even as gold leads safe-haven assets to new record highs.

Economist Mohamed El-Erian shared this outlook on X.

On a day when geo-economics is again very much in evidence—including the possibility of an EU–US trade war over Greenland (with the UK seemingly caught in a messy middle)—gold has once more traded at a record high, exceeding $4,700 an ounce.
Also of note for the reasons discussed… pic.twitter.com/CuyHAWMR8V

— Mohamed A. El-Erian (@elerianm) January 20, 2026

On Tuesday, Bitcoin and US stocks futures shed gains as the 10-year US Treasury yield climbed to 4.287%, a four-month high.

Notably, higher yields lift borrowing costs for loans, mortgages, and investments worldwide, impacting risk sentiment.

As El-Erian notes, President Donald Trump’s tariff threats against Europe over Greenland have sparked retaliation worries, driving bond sales and yield surges.

While the market weighs the situation, analysts say these macro risks could sideline capital from volatile assets like Bitcoin.

BTC traded just above $91,140 at the time of writing.

• 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.
