Cryptocurrency markets are exhibiting mixed signals today, January 9, 2026, with several assets showing potential for significant movement while others face resistance. Here's a concise overview of price predictions for various cryptocurrencies:

Bitcoin (BTC)

• Analysts predict varied scenarios for Bitcoin in 2026. Bit Mining's chief economist suggests a price of up to $225,000, supported by potential rate cuts and accommodating crypto regulations.
• However, technical analysis indicates a possible bearish correction, with a test of support near $88,265. A break below $84,305 could lead to a decline toward $78,565.
• If the $90,000 support holds, BTC could recover toward the $94,253 resistance level.
• VanEck's bullish outlook forecasts Bitcoin potentially reaching $53 million if it captures a significant portion of international trade and domestic GDP. Their base case projects $2.9 million by 2050.

Ethereum (ETH)

• Ethereum's price is currently around $3,150, with predictions suggesting a rise to $4,000 in 2026, driven by technical progress and consistent traction in its tokenized assets.
• Conversely, short-term analysis suggests a potential decline toward $2,613.72.

XRP (Ripple)

• XRP is trading near $2.10, facing resistance from a descending trendline. A breakout above $2.40 is needed to shift momentum toward $2.75. Failure to hold $2.00 could expose $1.78.
• However, technical analysis also indicates a triple-bottom pattern at $1.7758, suggesting a potential rebound. The next key resistance level to watch is $2.4180.
• Predictions for December 2026 range from $1.80 to $3.50 under a conservative scenario, with potential dips to $1.50 due to regulatory challenges. Bullish scenarios suggest a rise to $5-$8 if demand for XRP ETFs accelerates significantly.

Binance Coin (BNB)

• BNB is trading around $889.21, nearing a decision point after a consolidation phase. A climb toward the $893.7 resistance is possible, with potential to test the $900 range.
• Conversely, bears might push the price down to the $879.9 support, or even lower.
• Predictions for January 2026 range from an average of $904.01 to a maximum of $965.76.
• A bullish scenario targets $950-$1,020 by January 2026, contingent on breaking the $928.24 resistance.

Solana (SOL)

• Solana is trading above $140, extending gains after rebounding from the 50-day EMA at $136.75. Bulls are targeting levels above $160.
• Institutional demand remains strong, with spot ETFs recording a net weekly inflow of $41.08 million.
