Technical Analysis

On January 17, Bitcoin traded at $95,513 after a 0.8% 24-hour rise. The analysis highlights a false breakout near $95,537 and suggests a potential test of $95,700-$95,800 if momentum holds.

XRP is hovering around $2.0725 after an intraday low at $2.02, with buyers defending the $2.0702 area. A 2026 golden cross, where the 23‑day MA moved above the 50‑day, supports a bullish tilt. A push above $2.1126 could target $2.1837 and $2.2721, with $2.28–$2.35 and $2.70 as key resistance zones.

Ethereum has extended its advance from the December rebound and is now challenging a multi‑month resistance band near $3.3K–$3.5K while holding above the $3K area. The daily and 4‑hour charts show higher lows and a recent upside break from a symmetrical triangle, but overbought signals and on‑chain activity clustering under resistance leave a breakout toward $4K or a rejection back toward $2.7K–$2.5K both in play.

On the daily chart, a close near or under current levels may bring a $370-$380 retest, with sub-$371 risking a path toward $300 before month end.

On January 17, Dogecoin fell 0.39% over the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap, with price near $0.1375.

Bitcoin started an important week trading just under its 50-week MA and EMA cluster, while U.S. spot ETF inflows have reached about 3.8K BTC so far this year. The inflow pace is slightly ahead of roughly 3.5K BTC over the same 2025 period and appears consistent with prior seasonal patterns, as price consolidates near the mid $90,000s.

Bitcoin (BTC) broke above a multi‑week pattern and retested about $95,000, putting a measured objective near $107,000 in play by February. Long‑dormant holder distribution has slowed and coins are moving off exchanges, tightening supply, while a potential 20‑/50‑day EMA bull cross and a negative correlation to gold add to the bullish case.
