A new all-time high in the first half of January. I’m a skeptic, so I start from the annual chart.
In 2025, the coin printed the wide range : 183.42–499.11.
Since 2025 closed at almost 75% of the 2021 candle top, with the old ATH at 521.00, it was reasonable to expect further upside. However, I would have preferred to see a healthy correction — at least 50% Fibonacci of the annual range at 341.27, which now lies just below the middle of the gap zone between the 2026 low and the 2023 high.
If we project the last pullback range from January to August 2025, the level 610.08 becomes evident — meaning we are very close to forming a new ATH.
What to be expected: new ATH formation is usually accompanied by closing large longs and opening large shorts, pushing price even higher. At this stage, it is difficult to say where the move will end — better to monitor lower time frames. #XMR #XMRnewATH #altcoins
The earlier bullish outlook played out. Price has already moved above the November 2025 open at 403.61 and fully filled the gap from the last downward move.
The lower boundary of this gap is located near the start of the breaker at 383, clearly visible on the 15-minute chart — most likely a stop-hunt on long positions slightly below the previous mid-low and the 2021 ATH at 372.62.
If upward momentum continues, the pullback may already be completed. Any dips below the midpoint of this marked zone could be considered opportunities to open new longs. #zec #zecash #altcoins

$ZEC — update
Despite the overall bearish outlook for this year and the recent news surrounding the project team, I expect we may see a test of upper levels this month.
Key levels to watch:
• 403.61 — November 2025 opening
• 427.99 — December 2025 opening
• the gap zone just above the 50% Fibonacci retracement of this year’s entire downward range (456-444)
Under a more aggressive scenario, the move could extend above the 2026 opening level, creating an opportunity to consider new short positions.
Yesterday’s decline was accompanied by a rise in open interest, which more likely indicates the opening of new long positions. #zec #ZECUSDT #altcoins

LTC currently ranks 15th in the TOP-20 CMC Index, keeping it within my area of interest.
On the annual chart, after reaching an ATH in May 2021 (413.94) and declining sharply, the price has repeatedly tried to recover, but it has failed to break above the 2022 opening level (146.19).
The monthly chart shows a developing expanding triangle structure with a test of the midpoint of the 2020–2021 accumulation/order-block zone.
The second wave within this structure has a lower high and lower low, suggesting potential pattern repetition. This implies the next upward impulse may create a higher high, entering the gap zone between 181.91 and 153.79, aligning with the 62% Fibonacci retracement of 23.68–413.94.
At this stage, a test of the 2023–2024 opening levels and the upper boundary of the accumulation zone (~68.08) would provide an opportunity to consider low-risk long setups. #LTC #altcoins #LTCPricePrediction
$ZEC , in correlation with Bitcoin, distributed just above the 2026 opening level and then began to fall rapidly — the first scenario for this asset has played out.
From the 446 level, we observed a sharp increase in open interest accompanied by a strong price decline, while funding remained strongly positive. This combination indicates large long positions being opened while large shorts were being closed.
The decline paused near the previous all-time high at 372.62 (2021).
If the downside continuation unfolds, the annual chart highlights the following levels: 216.56 — high of 2022 146.38 — 2021 close / 2022 open
On the monthly chart, a clear rejection formation has developed. Since the month has only just begun, I expect to see additional upward pullbacks, likely used to open new short positions, followed by a downward projection.
While many assets experienced strong upside momentum at the start of the year, ZEC remained within its descending range, trading just below the 62% Fibonacci level (482).
ZEC continues to show inverse activity versus Bitcoin and has now moved above the 2026 opening level.
I assume that the New Year’s hype is over, and a continuation of the upward move toward 50% of the November candle's tail and a gap fill remains the primary scenario. #ZEC #zec #altcoins
$DOGE continues to hold 7th place in the CMC 20 Index.
On the annual timeframe, there has been no clear technical reason for me to engage with this asset.
Upside attempts in 2024 and 2025, measured from the 2020 ATL (0.00113) to the 2021 ATH (0.73995), were capped at 50% of the 2021 annual candlestick.
The strong bearish candle in 2025 does not support a bullish outlook at this stage. Early in the new year, price reached the 78% Fibonacci retracement (0.15924) of the full range.
For 2026, a test of the 2021 gap zone (0.05–0.011) remains a high-probability scenario. #DOGE #altcoins
$BCH update The coin has continued its upward move, exactly as outlined in our previously published analyses.
The 2025 opening level is 599.6. In the first days of the new year, price reached the identified gap zone and successfully moved above its midpoint.
At this stage, a short-term correction at the start of the week would be healthy. For this reason, a pullback toward the 2025 opening level at 599.6 is expected. This level aligns closely with the 78% Fibonacci retracement (602.6) of the most recent upward leg, as well as the midpoint of the gap formed on the first trading day of the year.
How price reacts within this opening zone will be key and should give a clear indication of which scenario is likely to unfold over the course of this month. #BCH #altcoins
